“As part of these firmwide efforts, we will be making changes today that will see approximately 1% of our colleagues leave the firm,” they said in the memo. “This is never easy.”

The firm added 3,750 employees last year and expects to have 2,000 more in 2025 following the deals for Global Infrastructure Partners, private credit shop HPS Investment Partners and data firm Preqin, according to the memo.
The $12.5 billion acquisition of GIP was completed on Oct. 1, while the roughly $12 billion deal for HPS is expected to close mid-year. The $3.2 billion Preqin transaction was expected to close before year-end 2024, but it’s still pending.
“We believe these investments make us a stronger and more dynamic organization that is even better positioned to serve clients over the long term,” the BlackRock executives wrote. “These investments will enable us to accelerate our momentum in 2025.”
