BlackRock assets pass $5 trillion milestone

Assets at the world’s largest money manager topped $5 trillion for the first time by the end of the third quarter as investors continued to pour billions into lower-cost index-tracking funds.

BlackRock said on October 18 that it had $5.12 trillion in assets under management, up 13.6% from a year ago. Profit for the New York firm rose, but revenue fell as performance fees decreased.
