纽约（CNN 商业）股市的繁荣已经对交易所交易基金产生了永不满足的需求，这使得交易者可以轻松地同时投资于许多世界顶级公司。这对全球最大的资金管理公司贝莱德来说是个好消息。
广受欢迎的 iShares ETF 家族的所有者贝莱德 (BLK) 周五宣布，截至今年年底，其管理的资产超过 10 万亿美元。这比 2020 年的水平高出 15%。
在这 10 万亿美元总额中，近三分之一投资于 ETF，其中许多是 iShares 家族的被动基金，追踪标准普尔 500 (IVV) 和罗素 2000 (IWM) 等热门指数以及各种行业基金。
然而，贝莱德的股价周五下跌近 3%，该公司也公布了高于预期的收益。

Covid-19 的 Omicron 变体可能会削弱经济活动。
正如芬克所指出的，“世界继续在经济和社会的不确定性和深刻变化中导航。”
BlackRock now manages more than $10 trillion in assets
New York (CNN Busineess)The stock market boom has created an insatiable appetite for exchange-traded funds, which make it easy for traders to invest in many of the world's top companies all at once. That's great news for BlackRock, the world's largest money manager.
BlackRock (BLK), owner of the popular iShares family of ETFs, announced Friday that it ended the year with more than $10 trillion in assets under management. That's up 15% from 2020 levels.
Nearly a third of that $10 trillion total was invested in ETFs, many of which are passive funds in the iShares family that track popular indexes like the S&P 500 (IVV) and Russell 2000 (IWM) as well as various sector funds.
Yet shares of BlackRock, which also reported earnings that topped forecasts, fell nearly 3% Friday.
CEO Larry Fink acknowledged continued challenges for the global economy and financial markets.
Soaring inflation is eating into consumer's paychecks. The Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world are expected to cut rates to tame surging prices. But overly aggressive rate hikes could slow the economy.
And the Omicron variant of Covid-19 may put a dent into economic activity.
As Fink noted, "the world continues to navigate uncertainty and profound shifts in economies and societies at large."
