BlackRock appoints head of investment communications
BlackRock Australia has appointed Albert Daniels to lead investment communications for the asset management firm. Daniels will chair Blackrock’s editorial board in Australia, and will partner with the firm’s fund managers to deliver thought leadership and market insights to clients.
BlackRock chief executive Damien Frawley said the appointment of Daniels was consistent with the company’s commitment to make BlackRock’s intellectual capital available to clients in every major market.
“Albert’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to deepening client relationships through accelerated knowledge sharing,” he added.
Daniels joins BlackRock from Alliance Bernstein, where he led investment communications from 2004. He brings over 18 years of experience in the funds management industry to the new role.
Earlier this year, the company established the BlackRock Investment Institute, a global platform that aims to leverage BlackRock’s knowledge of markets, asset classes and client segments to generate investment insights to improve the firm’s ability to serve its clients. The institute hosts a series of events through the BlackRock Investment Forum designed to foster debate on key investment themes.
