BlackRock reported in its third quarter results today that it had $129bn (€110bn) of quarterly total net inflows with positive flows across all regions, investment styles - both active and passive - and product types. https://twitter.com/BlackRock\_News/status/1315980401941377027 Fink said on the results call today that the net inflows represent 7% annualized organic asset growth in the quarter and 9% organic base fee growth led by fixed income, sustainable investments and exchange-traded funds. **Sustainable investments** He continued that BlackRock manages more than $127bn in sustainable products and the firm stands by its ambition to reach $1 trillion by the end of the decade. BlackRock has about 125 sustainable iShares ETFs with more than an aggregate $50bn in assets, as well as 67 active sustainable products.

Fink said that as a result BlackRock is investing in technology in order to be able to quantify the impact of ESG investing. He added that one of the structural trends in the the industry is the demand for a unified enterprise and risk management platform like Blackrock’s Aladdin. The platform already has 1,500 ESG metrics and the firm wants to expand this data. “We are creating Aladdin Climate,” said Fink. “Our ambition is to have a sustainability overlay in everything we do.” Fink continued that investors across the board believe in climate change. For example, products in Europe do not see real flows without a sustainable lens and clients in Asia are also discussion ESG strategies. More than 50% of the firm’s total flows were driven by clients in Europe and Asia. **Active strategies** BlackRock had a record $10bn of net inflows into active equities in the third quarter, which was the sixth consecutive quarter of inflows. Fink said: “This was the strongest performance we have seen in active with 80% of equities and 87% of fixed income outperforming benchmarks over three years.” [![](https://articles.marketsmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blackrock-aum-2.png?width=929&height=487&name=blackrock-aum-2.png)](https://articles.marketsmedia.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blackrock-aum-2.png) Assets under management of $7.8 trillion at September 30, 2020.
