It will be anchored by an initial investment mandate of up to $5 billion from PIF, subject to the achievement of agreed milestones between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BlackRock Saudi Arabia and PIF have expressed the intention to establish BlackRock Riyadh Investment Management (BRIM), which will encompass investment strategies across a range of asset classes, all of which are expected to be managed by a Riyadh-based portfolio management team and supported by BlackRock\u2019s industry-leading global asset management platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PIF is playing a leading role in advancing Saudi Arabia\u2019s economic transformation and diversification, as well as driving global economies and shaping the future of industries. Locally since 2017, PIF has created 94 new companies and created over 644,000 direct and indirect jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Saudi Arabia continues to transform its economy, BRIM will seek to support foreign institutional investment into Saudi Arabia and further enhance the Saudi asset management industry; broaden local capital markets while driving investor diversification across asset classes; and facilitate knowledge sharing and the development of Saudi-based asset management talent. This complements a series of initiatives by PIF to foster further growth in the Saudi capital market ecosystem and enable a growing international investment management sector based in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO, BlackRock, said,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><sub><\/sub><\/strong><sub>\u201cOne of BlackRock\u2019s most important contributions in the countries in which we operate is to bring our knowledge and understanding of capital markets to help drive future economic development.
