The combined platform of over $370 billion in assets under management will enable BlackRock and legacy-BofA Global Capital Management clients’ broader access to high quality, global liquidity investment solutions. BlackRock will continue to enjoy a strong distribution partnership with Bank of America and will have expanded access to several broad distribution channels.

“BlackRock is a best-in-class liquidity solutions provider with a demonstrated ability to deliver on clients’ needs for liquidity and yield,” says Michael Pelzar, President of BofA Global Capital Management. “Our selection of BlackRock was made after careful consideration of our clients’ needs, our long-standing relationship with BlackRock, and their demonstrated ability to provide a comprehensive range of global liquidity management solutions.”

The transaction was approved by both BlackRock and BofA fund boards, BofA fund shareholders and certain regulators. The financial impact of the transaction is not material to BlackRock earnings. Terms have not been disclosed.
