BlackRock x UniCredit
Description
This partnership between BlackRock and UniCredit transformed private markets from an institutional privilege into a scalable opportunity for Affluent investors. Leveraging ELTIF 2.0, the firms jointly built a solution designed to overcome historical barriers such as complexity, concentration and minimum investment. A defining strength of the partnership was its focus on conscious investing: extensive advisor training, client education and portfolio-level guidance ensured private markets were integrated responsibly within wealth portfolios. With strong commercial results across four European countries, the initiative demonstrates how GP and distributor can innovate together to deliver meaningful access to real-economy investments with discipline, transparency and long-term value creation for the end-client.
