Are you even reading? I talked about the goals, not about any scoring points. You made this about assists which is something I never talked about. I talked about the goal top list. So don't build a strawman please.
And second Messi scored the same amount of goals as someone who only played half the amount of games. It's a lot less impressive.

He would be joint 4th with 6 other players. These 6 other players all didn't make it to the final and we're KOed as early as the round of 16 (Morata).

This. The goal stat in this world cup felt really meaningless. I heard countless moderators repeat how many goals Messi scored and I just couldn't take it anymore. Argentina got an exceptional amount of penalties which all went to Messi. I don't know where he would place, but if we would remove all penalties from the goal count, Messi wouldn't be near the top positions for most amount of goals in this world cup.

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.
