What investment strategies does the UK entity manage?

Does the firm serve only UK clients?
No. It serves institutional and retail clients across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Its regulatory authorization allows cross-border distribution within the EEA and select other jurisdictions.

The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates the entity, and it is also subject to oversight by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) as part of BlackRock's UK banking and asset management structure.
Does the firm make direct investments in private companies?
