BlackRock Inc’s results topped Wall Street estimates on Friday. BlackRock ended the quarter with $7.32 trillion in assets under management, up from $6.84 trillion a year earlier.“We had more conversations with our clients in the last six months than we have probably had in aggregate in years,” Chief Executive Larry Fink said in an interview. “Clients are looking to BlackRock more than ever before.” BlackRock reported a 21% jump in quarterly profit as investors poured money into its fixed-income funds and cash management services. The New York-based company's net income rose to $1.21 billion, or $7.85 per share. Analysts had expected a profit of $6.99 per share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. source
