The announcement also emphasized that the timeline could change.
Following the fund closure announcement, BlackRock surprisingly hit an impressive milestone: Q2 assets hit a record $10.65 trillion. This achievement was backed by strong equity market performance and significant inflows into the company’s ETFs.
