On April 22nd, Larry Fink, Chairman & CEO of BlackRock, was featured as a Distinguished Speaker at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. Mr. Fink is an alum of UCLA (MBA 76′, BA 74′) and discussed with students his views on the future of financial reform in the wake of the financial crisis.

I was fortunate to be able to attend the event and it was a treat to be able to get his opinion given the fact that he has the ears and attention of very senior people in government including President Obama. 

Mr. Fink who runs Blackrock as if it had a fiduciary duty to its client, is a proponent of increased regulation. This view differs widely from most of Wall St. but he stressed how important it is for clients’ interests to come first and that stronger regulations will increase confidence in the financial markets.

The video of his visit at UCLA Anderson is present on the business school’s website: Larry Fink speaks at UCLA Anderson School of Management.Similar Posts:
