- Aladdin now covers $13T in private markets via Preqin benchmarks, establishing a unified standard that enhances transparency and client retention.

BlackRock unveils Tactical Opportunities Plus for macro alpha. - Advertisement - 07/07/2026 BlackRock has launched the BSF Tactical Opportunities Plus Fund, a new liquid alternatives UCITS strategy designed to meet growing investor demand for macro strategies that can generate uncorrelated returns and improve portfolio resilience during periods of heightened market volatility. The new fund builds on BlackRock's Tactical Opportunities strategy, launched in 2016, which has delivered positive returns in every calendar year since inception, while seeking to offer investors greater return potential through the same investment process. The BSF Tactical Opportunities Plus Fund aims to generate alpha by exploiting macro dispersion and pricing dislocations across equities, fixed income, and foreign exchange markets in more than 25 countries. The strategy seeks to capitalize on changing macroeconomic conditions through tactical positioning across global asset classes, rather than relying on broad market direction. "In a world where traditional, long-only diversifiers have become less reliable and macro dispersion is elevated, investors are increasingly looking to liquid alternatives and macro strategies to deliver consistent, uncorrelated returns in portfolios," says Tom Becker, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Tactical Opportunities Plus Fund. "We believe this new offering is well positioned to deliver for clients in this regime of high macro dispersion across global markets." "In a world where traditional, long-only diversifiers have become less reliable and macro dispersion is elevated, investors are increasingly looking to liquid alternatives and macro strategies to deliver consistent, uncorrelated returns in portfolios." Tom Becker, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Tactical Opportunities Plus Fund. The launch comes as BlackRock sees increasing demand from institutional investors for strategies that complement traditional stock-and-bond portfolios. According to Jon Valdelin, Head of Institutional for BlackRock in the Nordics, investors seek to "diversify beyond traditional equity and fixed income exposures, access differentiated sources of alpha, and improve portfolio resilience in a more volatile macro environment." He also highlights what he describes as "a greater willingness to complement strategic asset allocation with more dynamic, tactical approaches that can respond to shifts in dispersion, correlations, and relative value across asset classes." Valdelin believes "the Tactical Opportunities Plus Fund can play an important role within that broader portfolio toolkit." "A clear trend we are observing is a greater willingness to complement strategic asset allocation with more dynamic, tactical approaches that can respond to shifts in dispersion, correlations and relative value across asset classes." Jon Valdelin, Head of Institutional for BlackRock in the Nordics. The fund is managed by BlackRock's Global Tactical Asset Allocation (GTAA) team, which oversees approximately $60 billion on behalf of institutional and wealth clients globally, including roughly $8 billion invested in the existing Tactical Opportunities strategy. The new fund leverages the same investment framework and risk management process that has underpinned the flagship strategy for nearly a decade, while targeting higher returns. The existing Tactical Opportunities strategy has delivered positive returns in every calendar year since its launch, including 2022, and has generated annualized returns of more than six percent since inception. "The Plus Fund is designed to offer clients greater return potential while maintaining the same investment process and disciplined risk management that have characterized Tactical Opportunities for nearly a decade," Becker concludes.

BlackRock Future Builders launches $25 million national RFP to expand America's skilled trades workforce. BlackRock | Jun 01, 2026 Funding will support nonprofits that are connecting workers to skilled trades careers and economic opportunity across the country June 1, 2026 - New York, NY - BlackRock today launched a $25 million nationwide Request for Proposals (RFP) as the next phase of BlackRock Future Builders, its $100 million philanthropic effort to build and strengthen America's skilled trades workforce, reaching 50,000 American workers over the next five years. Through the RFP, over two funding cycles, The BlackRock Foundation will award two-year grants ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per award. As recipients of these grants, local, regional, and national nonprofits will be able to expand programs that provide access to high-quality skilled trades training and career pathways - such as electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and ironworkers - that support critical infrastructure. "Skilled trades are essential to America - these jobs build the infrastructure our economy and communities depend on, and they create pathways for people to build lasting financial security," said Arielle Gurman, Head of Strategy for The BlackRock Foundation and Executive Director of Future Builders. "Demand for skilled workers is rising quickly, yet too many people still face barriers to entering these careers. Through this RFP, Future Builders will support nonprofits across the country that are helping more Americans access economic opportunity." The RFP will be administered by Jobs for the Future (JFF), a national nonprofit with deep expertise in workforce development. In this role, JFF will manage the application process and support a review of proposals. The six-week application window for the first funding cycle will be open from June 1 through July 10, 2026, with grant recipients expected to be announced in the fall. To learn more about eligibility and to apply, visit here. "Jobs for the Future is proud to partner with The BlackRock Foundation on this transformative initiative to expand economic opportunity and help define the future of work for the next generation of America's skilled trades workers," said Maria Flynn, President and CEO of Jobs for the Future. "The Future Builders RFP is a critical opportunity to identify organizations and scale solutions across the country that are connecting more people to quality jobs in the skilled trades. JFF looks forward to bringing our deep expertise in workforce systems to lead a competitive RFP process to support partners that will have the highest, most scalable impact." The RFP builds on the successful launch of Future Builders in Texas last month, where The BlackRock Foundation committed $30 million over three years to strengthen skilled trades pipelines. These grants will help train more than 12,000 Texans for electrical careers, supporting the workforce needed to meet the state's rapid growth.
