BlackRock CEO Larry Fink: "Well, first of all, all the money that we manage, none of it's ours. OK, so let's start there. We don't have a balance sheet. 100% of the money that we have is on behalf of savers worldwide. And so our job is to be listening to our clients how they want to deploy their capital." 

"Our job is to be a fiduciary for each and every client. And we have clients here in Europe who 100% want us to invest in more decarbonizing technology. We have other clients who want to invest in more hydrocarbons." 

"And our job is to be responsive to their wishes because it's their money. And so our job is to be working with them. Our job is to inform them on where we think the best opportunities are. But the ultimate decision still rests on our clients." 

"And that's something that is misunderstood. And that's a very big change than than when versus a balance sheet of a bank or a balance sheet of the general account of an insurance company, this money is not ours. And so our job is to be guiding our clients where we believe the best opportunities are." 

"But the final decision of all 10 plus trillion dollars that we are responsible for is to be working on behalf. And that may be that one client who lives in a rural community that gives us $1,000 a year." 

"Our job is to be responding to them or working with a sovereign wealth fund who is looking for us to work with them. But where do you see the opportunities? Infrastructure? AI? Everywhere. I mean, I would say there's more opportunity today than ever."
