BlackRock is cutting up to 500 jobs as the market turndown hits the world's largest money manager
Economists and strategists across Wall Street, including BlackRock's own, have widely forecast difficult economic conditions as growth slows andworst year for major US stock indexes
since 2008 has hit asset managers, which make most of their money from fees they charge to handle assets for clients. BlackRock's revenue in the first nine months of 2022 fell 15% from a year prior, while assets under management fell to $8 trillion from $9.5 trillion over the same period. "is clearly that we feel that a recession is a matter of when, not if," said the firm's chief financial officer, Gary Shedlin, during an industry conference early last month.
"Coming out of the pandemic, we debated at length how fast we should pull back. I think the good news is, we chose not to. Thank goodness we didn't, because the market bounced back very quickly. I don't think we feel that the market is bouncing back nearly as quickly at this point in time," Shedlin said, according to a transcript of his remarks from the research platform Sentieo."So we're trying to be a little bit more prudent.
BlackRock has sought to tamp down costs. The firm said in October that it would pause hiring through the rest of 2022 with the exception of critical hires, and that it expected core general and administrative expenses for the year to increase between 13% and 15%, down from the range of 15% to 20% the firm had forecast in January 2022.
