Schwarzman

The surname appears without a firstname. I thought we only did that for musicians, like Cher, Bono and Madonna.

Article needs major expansion

From cover article in The Economist [1] [2], noting it is "easily the biggest investor in the world", it is clear that BlackRock matters. As well as its $4.1 trillion of directly controlled assets (almost as much as all private-equity and hedge funds put together)(already mentioned) it oversees another $11 trillion through its trading platform, Aladdin (needs own article?), we are told - together giving it control over around 7% of all the shares, bonds and loans in the world.
Also, let's say that the helping the US government in 2008-09 was after and because of the financial crisis. Much material from these sources but I don't feel qualified to mess with the lead. Moreover, it seems to be hardly mentioned in other WP articles. This needs to be embedded in places it links to, starting with the firms it holds significant stakes in.

Incomplete tag added

As per the article expansion request above, an Incomplete tag has been added to the article.

Requested edit

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at BlackRock. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

FutureAdvisor employee here, so requesting an edit here to stay in line with WP:DISCLOSURE. The AUM figure is pretty old and, at the time of the acquisition, is off by a factor of 3. Could someone change the last sentence in BlackRock#2010 onwards to:

On August 26, 2015, BlackRock entered into a definitive agreement to acquire FutureAdvisor,^[1] a digital wealth management provider with reported assets under management of over $600 million.^[2]
