Assets under management isn’t the same as ownership. The investors who own these funds could move them anywhere at any time

You know that literally every economic sector and every possible risk profile is represented across the trillions that these firms manage, right? Blackrock doesn’t put 100% of its client’s assets into the same stock lmao, it’s small cap, mid cap, large cap, international, and everything else

Just from a semi-layman perspective: BlackRock is a company that's dishing out a ton of ETFs like the MSCI World. So they have these assets "in management" but actually just buy the underlying shares and earn management fees. There isn't really any risk involved for this type of business since it's 100% collaterized.
To gain a full perspective, we would need to see a diagram that explains in detail which asset classes are managed and how the percentages add up.
