Business outlook

Pros

Cutting edge of AM: Fink & co have identified correct trends in AM and have capitalized through inorganic growth (passive over active, alts, tech). Firm trades at a multiple 1.5x peers because of this. Benefits are solid: Flexible time off (team specific) is really dope. Matching 50% 401k contributions is good. Global focus and culture: loads of good people work here and the firm emphasizes diversity and being global.

Cons

Vulnerable: zero fee proliferation threat, still a very high reliance on public markets that are increasingly volatile as rates and macro risks increase. A lot of fat across the board: Many individuals (and teams) add little value for what they’re compensated for. Plurality of culture exists... is healthy to some degree and natural due to the inorganic growth of the company, but creates asymmetric expectations.
