About this investor
BlackRock completed its acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners on 1 October 2024. This profile combines the site's existing dated listed-company disclosures with five selected private infrastructure links through GIP. [1]
These are selected investments, rather than a complete portfolio or legal parent register. A fund, its investors, an acquisition vehicle and the manager's own corporate ownership can be different relationships. Each card retains the date and individual or collective stake definition. Listed-company notifications retain their original dates and basis. GIP links describe fund or consortium interests through an acquired manager, rather than equivalent direct BlackRock corporate stakes. BlackRock and Blackstone are separate investment groups. [1][2][3]
Each card names the entity invested in. Linked companies and brands can sit below that entity. Stakes use the source’s definition and date; disclosures are selected and do not give a complete portfolio or investor register. Read the investor methodology.
