BlackRock's 185 billion investment portfolio has adjusted its position, betting on the future performance of US stocks and AI market

According to ChainCatcher, an investment outlook report shows that BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, is "raising its risk allocation" - significantly increasing its holdings in U.S. stocks and increasing its exposure to the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in its $185 billion model portfolio platform. The outlook report pointed out that with the "top profit performance" of the US stock market, BlackRock has increased its allocation to US stocks in its series of model combinations at the expense of reducing its holdings in international developed market stocks. After adjustment, the stock holdings of these combinations are over-allocated by 2%. Data shows that as BlackRock completed asset allocation adjustments on Tuesday, its corresponding ETFs experienced billions of dollars in capital flows. BlackRock's adjustment of the model combination this time is a "vote of confidence" put on the rise in the US stock market: since this year, driven by the investment boom in the AI ​​field and the market's bet on the Fed's upcoming interest rate cut cycle, the S&P 500 index has hit a record high. BlackRock said in its investment report that the relatively strong earnings performance of U.S. companies will drive U.S. stocks to continue to rise, noting that U.S. corporate earnings have grown by 11% since the third quarter of 2024, while similar companies in other developed markets have increased by less than 2%.
