Product spotlight: iShares ETFs as growth driver
BlackRock is best known among many retail investors for its iShares exchange-traded funds platform, which includes large index-tracking products used to gain exposure to U.S. equities, global markets, and fixed income. While the recent MarketBeat coverage focuses primarily on corporate-level earnings and institutional holdings, the strong revenue growth of 30.6 percent year over year in the latest quarter is closely tied to longer-term expansion in assets under management across key product lines such as equity and fixed-income ETFs, as well as active strategies and alternatives.MarketBeat
