Confluence Philanthropy Webinar: Aperio Acquisition by Blackrock

Please join us for a thought-provoking discussion moderated by Confluence CEO, Dana Lanza, with Liz Michaels, Co-Head of the Aperio Group; Sandy Boss, Global Head of Investment Stewardship at BlackRock; and Martin Small, Head of BlackRock’s U.S. Wealth Advisory business. Our focus is an exploration about what Aperio’s acquisition by BlackRock signals to the impact industry. Members will learn more about the reasons behind Aperio’s sale to BlackRock, how the merger will influence BlackRock’s ESG investing strategies, and the firm’s recent announcement about a clear commitment to Net Zero investing. Of particular interest, how might BlackRock’s adoption of the Net Zero call to action drive markets?
