The standout driver was a confluence of organic base fee growth, market appreciation on higher average assets under management, roughly $240 million in fees from the GIP acquisition, and a 26% surge in technology services revenue, the latter reflecting sustained demand for Aladdin and the early contribution of the Preqin deal closed in March. Net inflows of $68 billion were tempered by a single institutional client's $52 billion lower-fee index partial redemption, though iShares ETFs posted a strong first half and total AUM reached a record $12.53 trillion, up 18% year-over-year. Looking ahead, management cited the July 1 closing of the HPS Investment Partners acquisition, adding $165 billion of client AUM, as a key catalyst, with CEO Larry Fink describing the current moment as the early days of an accelerating next phase of growth, particularly in private markets and digital assets.
