BlackRock Netherlands has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, evolving from what was largely a sales hub that partnered with institutional clients into a broader multi-function office, now also with a significant footprint in wealth. At the same time, the investment industry is changing rapidly, driven by demographic shifts, technological innovation and evolving client needs.
In this interview, Monique Donders, Head of BlackRock Netherlands, and Annemarie Stephenson, Head of Wealth Netherlands, discuss the convergence of institutional and wealth investing, the growing importance of personalised portfolio construction, the democratisation of private markets, and the impact of AI on the future of wealth management. They also share their perspectives on consolidation within the industry and the opportunities created by the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history.
