BlackRock to Acquire SpiderRock Advisors

BlackRock has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in SpiderRock Advisors, following a minority investment in 2021. We have seen growing client demand for SRA’s customized option overlay strategies and this acquisition will help BLK to capitalize on that momentum. This transaction will allow BLK to fully integrate SRA’s team and capabilities into our U.S. Wealth Advisory business, expanding the toolkit through which BLK will directly provide wealth firms and financial advisors access to options-based separately managed account (SMA) strategies.
