BlackRock sees wave of M&A in asset management industry: CEO
By David Randall
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The asset management sector "needs consolidation" and has the potential for "quite a bit" of merger and acquisition activity, BlackRock Inc (N:BLK) Chief Executive Officer Laurence Fink said at an investor day meeting in New York.
Fink said he did not "see a need" for BlackRock to buy any firms in the United States or Europe, but left open the possibility of making acquisitions in other parts of the world.
BlackRock had $4.6 trillion in assets under management at the end of 2015, making it the world's largest asset manager.
