    Bankám pohádkově rostou zisky, o část mohou přijít - Novinky.cz

    Vláda proto plánuje zavedení zvláštní daně z mimořádného nebo také neočekávaného zisku, která by mohla do rozpočtu přinést několik desítek miliard a pomohla lidem s účty zejména za energie.

    Nasi vudci ze jako presunout z dani tech zlych energetickych firem smerem k normalnimu cloveku.

    S tim problem nemaj. Jo jasne.. zatocit s temi kapitalisti.. :)

    Nakonec to vlastne stejne zkrouhne ten CEZ, co jsem tak resil, ne?

    // jeste to podaji, ze "banky" muzou o neco prijit. a ovce jdou na porazku. "banky" dostanou pres prsty. oni si reknou "Ja nejsem banka, dobrej jim tak!". A tohle mysleni je potreba zivit. V kazde situaci v kazdy okamzik. Ze to schyta nekdo jinej... zli spekulanti.. nebo akcionari.. cokoliv..

    vemte si, ze clanek je o te novele o neocekavanem zisku.. a ten titulek.. banky dostanou na prdel..
    to si mysli idiot.

    jak ta zla korporace/banka prijde o zisky...

    "Bankám pohádkově rostou zisky, o část mohou přijít"

    cely to imho sazi na normalni lidskou zavist.. at se nekdo nema lip.

    „Že je dočasná solidarita namístě, to už říkám delší dobu… Jde o to, abychom peníze, které získáme z toho, že nám firmy poskytnou část svého neočekávaného zisku, použili přímo na pomoc lidem, kterých se to týká,“ uvedl pro sobotní Právo Fiala.

    Znovu zopakuju pro me relativni novinku - od roku 2016 plati v EU novy zakon.. tzv. bail-in zakon.

    Media zapomnela informovat, takze neni divu.

    Treba na webu ct24 jsem nasel snad jedinou zminku v clanku z roku 2013

    V případě Kypru se rozhodlo zapojit do řešení bankrotu této členské země eurozóny samotné kyperské banky, ba i jejich klienty, kteří do nich uložili více než sto tisíc eur. Tato nová strategie pro pomoc kolabujícímu daňovému ráji, jejíž součástí je vynucená „svépomoc“ bank, z nichž krize vzešla, dostala okamžitě jméno: bail-in, aby se odlišila od desítek bail-outů, tedy od pomoci spočívající na ochotě ostatních členských zemí daného celku zaangažovat vlastní kapitálové zdroje do stabilizace postižené země nebo přímo jejích bank v rámci „záchranného balíčku“ a v zájmu společné měny a společné stability.

    ...pravidla, že při záchraně bank jsou nejprve použity soukromé peníze, tedy prostředky akcionářů či takové, které banka obstará například na finančním trhu. Pravidlo označované jako „bail-in“ mělo původně platit od roku 2018, nyní kompromis počítá s jeho spuštěním v roce 2016.

    Clovek by si po precteni rekl... jo jdou po tech vrazich z wall streetu... ale ve skutecnosti se to tyka i penez stradatelu.

    Protoze, kdyz ma nekdo penize v bance, tak je formalne investorem, takze kolikrat v tech textech, i samotnem tom zakonu z toho neni primo hned zjevne, ze se bavime o normalnich lidech, co maji penize v bance.

    Kdyz ma clovek penize v bance, tak to nejsou jeho penize. Jsou jeho pohledavkou. Penize pujcene bance. Skutecne vlastnene penize jsou jen hotovost.

    A v pripade bankrotu banky , budou penize stradatelu pouzity na rekapitalizaci banky. V chronologii by mely penize stradatelu prijit na radu az jako posledni.

    Vklady jsou ze zakony pojisteny do 100 000 EUR.. ale fond na proplaceni pojistenych vkladu nema jeste ani 1% vsech vkladu, takze neni samozrejme realisticke, pokud by doslo k nejake krizi vice bank zaroven, ze vas vyplati v horizontu desitek let.. bude to za jejich podminek a neni ani jiste, jestli by vam to dali v te puvodni mene.

    Ráno už na účtu nemusíte mít nic, vaše peníze vám v podstatě nepatří - Novinky

    Výstřel z pistole přehlušil ticho večera. Antonio Bedin se zhroutí mrtvý na zem. Měl 67 let, byl to italský důchodce. Trápily ho zdravotní problémy a zároveň přišel o svoje úspory. Právě spáchal sebevraždu.

    Vloni se dostaly do platební neschopnosti čtyři malé italské banky, okamžitě potřebovaly kapitál. Použili nástroj zvaný bail-in. Antonio byl jedním z tisíců drobných střadatelů, kteří byli finančně zlikvidovaní. Přišel o všechno. Nebyl sám. Stejně skončili i další důchodci, další se oběsil ve svém domě nedaleko Říma poté, co přišel o více než 100 000. Jejich příběhy zhmotňují nenávist vůči bail-in. Bail-in znamená, že banka rekapitalizuje sama sebe „znárodněním“ svých věřitelů, včetně vkladatelů, kterým sebere peníze na účtech.

    Většina lidí si myslí o svých penězích, které má v podobě vkladu v bance, že představují jejich osobní aktivum, které vlastní. Ale to není pravda. Hned jak provedete vklad v bance, už to není váš majetek. Je to majetek banky. To, co vám zůstane, je jen příslib banky. Není to nijak zabezpečené, jen důvěrou v bankovní systém. Je to něco úplně jiného než vlastnit fyzickou hotovost ukrytou pod matrací. Peníze uložené v bance z vás technicky dělá jen věřitele banky. A když se banka dostane do problémů, může přistoupit k bail-inu.

    Lidé na Kypru to poznali na vlastní kůži na začátku roku 2013. Probudili se do jinak běžné soboty, ale čekal je šok. Jejich peníze na jejich účtech byly použité na bail-in pro rekapitalizaci bank. Není divu, že mnoho Italů nechce čekat, až se z nich jednou stanou „Kypřané“.

    Nedávno jsem strávil pár týdnů v Itálii zkoumáním probíhající bankovní krize. Mluvil jsem s prominentním právníkem, který mi řekl, že většina Italů bankám nedůvěřuje. Podstatnou část svých úspor drží v hotovosti pod matracemi. Také kupují hodně zlata. Byl jsem v Itálii mnohokrát v průběhu několika let. Ale tentokrát jsem viděl něco nového. Všude visely reklamy na zlaté „pruty“.

    Myslím, že to ukazuje na silnou nedůvěru v bankovní systém. Zdá se mi, že pomalu začíná run na banky. To je ta poslední věc, kterou italský bankovní systém potřebuje.

    A situace se stále zhoršuje…

    Italské banky měly už několik zasedání s ECB ohledně jejich špatného finančního stavu. Netřeba se proto divit, že lidé v Itálii ve velkém vybírají peníze z bank, oprávněně se bojí bail-inu. Tato obava je vede ke stáhnutí svých úspor do hotovosti a případně koupit zlato. To dále odčerpává kapitál bank, a znásobuje pravděpodobnost, že bude potřebné přistoupit k bail-inu, aby banky zůstaly solventní, což povede k ještě větším výběrům. Je to likvidační proroctví.

    Jinými slovy, mnoho italských nic netušících střadatelů bude připraveno o své peníze. Představa, že by mnoho dalších důchodců mohlo potenciálně spáchat sebevraždu, protože se ocitnou na dně, má v Itálii obrovskou emocionální sílu. Je to jako politický nitroglycerin. Mohlo by to mít katalyzující politický vliv.

    Je to nezáviděníhodný hlavolam, kterému unijní italská vláda čelí. Můžou ponechat bankám bail-in, anebo ho můžou zastavit a nechat celý domeček z karet spadnout. Každá z těchto možností představuje politickou sebevraždu.

    V případě Itálie to má navíc i velký psychologický efekt na ostatní země EU, které by rychle mohly začít opouštět euro a vrátily se ke svým národním měnám. Hospodářské vazby a integrace jsou tím, co ještě drží EU pohromadě. Jednotná měna je jako ekonomické lepidlo. Bez eura hospodářské vazby oslabí a celý projekt by mohl skončit. Byl by to konec zemí EU na cestě k největší světové ekonomice. Zároveň by to mohlo přerůst do globálního krachu akciového trhu, jaký svět nikdy neviděl.

    Ve Financial Times se nedávno vyjádřili takto: italský výstup z jednotné měny by znamenal totální kolaps eurozóny za velmi krátký čas. To by pravděpodobně vedlo k nejnásilnějšímu ekonomickému šoku v historii, převyšujícího bankrot Lehman Brothers v roce 2008 a pád Wall Street v roce 1929.

    Není divu, že nechutný George Soros si je velmi dobře vědom toho, co se děje. Ten se nedávno ohledně Brexitu a událostí v Itálii vyjádřil takto: „Teď se katastrofický scénář, kterého se mnozí obávali, zhmotnil, takže rozpad EU je prakticky nezvratný.“

    Komu patří peníze v bance? | Peníze.cz

    V půlce se března se objevila informace, že všechny vklady na Kypru budou zdaněny sazbou odstupňovanou podle výše vkladu. Tehdy jsem mluvil o měnové reformě.

    Od té doby se situace x-krát změnila, snad poslední verze mluví o tom, že záchranu problémové banky (tzv. „bail-in“) zaplatí zejména vkladatelé s víc než stem tisíc eur na účtu. To, že vkladatelé přijdou o část vkladů a zbylá část jim bude vyměněna za akcie banky, označuje řada komentářů za krádež a podobně. Problém je v tom, jestli uložení peněz do banky považovat za investici.

    Většina klientů banky by vložení peněz na bankovní účet za investování asi nepovažovala. Pokud se na ale na „bail-in“ podíváme z pohledu účetnictví, vypadá to trochu jinak. Tipuju, že čas účetní optiky v budoucnu znovu přijde...

    ...

    V současné době Fond pojištění vkladů disponuje zhruba 25 miliardami korun (to je ovšem pouhé zhruba procento hodnoty pojištěných vkladů v Česku). Fond má ze zákona na zahájení výplaty pojištěných vkladů 20 pracovních dní od data vydání oznámení o platební neschopnosti. Zmiňovaných 25 miliard korun by v případě problémů větší banky nestačilo. Proto v červnu 2012 preventivně schválila Česká národní banka desetiletý dluhopisový program fondu v objemu sta miliard korun.

    Na začátku dubna oznámil Fond pojištění vkladů zahájení příprav zadávacího řízení na veřejnou zakázku na výběr poskytovatelů syndikovaného úvěru ve výši sta miliard korun.

    Co z toho pro vkladatele plyne?

    Nenechat se vyšachovat. Pro ty, kteří mají v bance víc než sto tisíc eur, by mělo být samozřejmé rozdělení vkladů mezi víc bank – když tedy odhlédneme od toho, že by rozhodně všechna aktiva neměla jen tak ležet na bankovních účtech.

    Z praktických důvodů bych totéž rozdělení bank doporučil i lidem, jejichž prostředky ani zdaleka nedosahují částky sto tisíc eur. Přece jenom i přes pojištění vkladů by se ke svým penězům nemuseli v případě problémů nějaký čas dostat a likvidita je v dnešní době exekucí a podobných věcí klíčovou záležitostí.

    Understanding the Metaverse and Web 3.0

    nderstanding the Metaverse and Web 3.0
    11 JAN 2022
    TOPICS: DIGITALIZATION | TECHNOLOGY DRIVING INNOVATION

    The “metaverse” has captured the imagination of technology investors, but what is it, and what does it signal for the next era of computing? In the latest episode of Exchanges at Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs Research’s Eric Sheridan examines how the blending of elements of the physical and digital worlds via virtual reality, augmented reality, gaming and immersive online communities is contributing to the rise of a more decentralized Web 3.0.


    Invest in a Blockchain-Powered Virtual World with Decentraland
    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/invest-blockchain-powered-virtual-world-154108343.html
    Even stodgy big-bank commentators are finally acknowledging the critical connection between the blockchain and metaverse. For instance, Goldman Sachs analysts led by Rod Hall asserted that blockchain technology is central to the development of the metaverse and is the only technology that can “uniquely identify any virtual object independent of a central authority.”

    ...

    Decentraland is a traversable 3D world that’s truly decentralized. In other words, it’s not controlled by a central organization — that’s part of what makes the metaverse so appealing, really.

    This doesn’t mean that there aren’t rules, though. There’s a currency economy based on the MANA token. The crypto is primarily used to buy “in-world” goods and services, but it serves other purposes as well.


    Goldman Sachs Says Blockchain Is Key to Metaverse and Web 3 Development
    https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/12/17/goldman-sachs-says-blockchain-is-key-to-metaverse-and-web-3-development/
    Blockchain technology is central to the development of the metaverse and Web 3, Goldman Sachs said in a research report.

    It is the only technology that can “uniquely identify any virtual object independent of a central authority,” and this ability to identify and track ownership will be crucial to the functioning of the metaverse, analysts led by Rod Hall wrote in a note published on Dec. 14.

    For Web 3, blockchain allows for the “partial elimination of centralized control,” the note says. In the future, users will be able to log in without the need for a third party, such as Meta, Google or Apple, the note adds.

    Web 3 is the third generation of internet services which have been made possible by decentralized networks.

    Goldman analysts feel that cryptocurrency is just the beginning for blockchain. Since 2017, blockchain has spread from the banking sector to more distributed applications across multiple verticals, such as communication and media and manufacturing, they note.

    The Wall Street bank sees blockchain as the one of the most disruptive technology trends to appear since TCP/IP and HTML “ushered in the internet in the 1990s.”

    “Investment implications are hard to predict at this juncture, but companies who are dependent on centralized control of user identity will likely find their business models challenged by the adoption of blockchain,” the report added.

    The metaverse is an immersive digital world created by the combination of virtual reality, augmented reality and the internet.

    One of the biggest endorsements for the metaverse came earlier this year when social media giant Facebook decided to rebrand itself to Meta, as a sign of its future focus.

    Meta (formerly Facebook) also announced that it was planning to hire 10,000 staff in the European Union to develop its metaverse.


    JPMorgan Is the First Bank Into the Metaverse, Looks at Business Opportunities
    https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/02/15/jpmorgan-is-the-first-bank-into-the-metaverse-looks-at-business-opportunities/
    JPMorgan, the largest bank in the U.S., said it has become the first lender to arrive in the metaverse, having opened a lounge in Decentraland, a virtual world based on blockchain technology.

    As well as the unveiling of the Onyx lounge (the name refers to the bank’s suite of permissioned Ethereum-based services), JPMorgan also released a paper exploring how businesses can find opportunities in the metaverse.

    "There is a lot of client interest to learn more about the metaverse,” Christine Moy, JPMorgan’s head of crypto and the metaverse, said in an email. “We put together our white paper to help clients cut through the noise and highlight what the current reality is, and what needs to be built next in technology, commercial infrastructure, privacy/identity and workforce, in order to maximize the full potential of our lives in the metaverse.”

Seven years earlier, Venter had been the first person in history to make a functioning creature from information. Looking at the strings of letters representing the DNA sequence for a virus called phi X174, which infects bacteria, he thought to himself, “I can assemble real DNA based on that computer information.” And so he did, creating a virus based

    https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/05/thousands-of-people-in-sweden-are-embedding-microchips-under-their-skin-to-replace-id-cards
    Thousands of Swedes are having microchips implanted into their bodies so that they don't need to carry key cards, IDs, and even train tickets.

    About 3,000 people in Sweden have inserted a microchip — which is as tiny as a grain of rice — under their skin over the past three years, Agence France-Presse reported. The technology was first used in the country in 2015.

    The implants have already helped replace the need for a host of daily necessities. Ulrika Celsing's microchip, which is in her hand, has replaced her gym card and office key card. When she enters her workplace, the 28-year-old simply waves her hand near a small box and types in a code before the doors open, AFP said.

    Last year, the state-owned SJ rail line started scanning the hands of passengers with biometric chips to collect their train fare while on board.

    There is no technological reason the chips couldn't also be used to buy things just like a contactless credit card, but nobody appears to have started testing that yet.


    'A slight sting'

    The procedure is similar to that of a piercing and involves a syringe injecting the chip into the person's hand. Celsing, who obtained her injection at a work event, told AFP she felt just a slight sting.

    But the chip implants could cause infections or reactions in the body's immune system, Ben Libberton, a microbiologist at MAX IV Laboratory in southern Sweden, told AFP.

    The rise of 'biohacking'

    Biohacking — the modification of bodies with technology — is on the rise as more and more people start using tech wearables such as Apple Watches and FitBits.

    About four years ago, Swedish biohacking group Bionyfiken started organising "implant parties" — where groups of people insert chips into their hands en masse — in countries including the US, UK, France, Germany, and Mexico.

    Some 50 employees at Wisconsin vending-machine company Three Square Market voluntarily agreed to insert microchips into their hands, which they could then use to buy snacks, log in to computers, or use the photocopier.

    Swedes seem more willing to try the technology than most other nations.

    The country's 10 million-strong population is generally more willing to share personal details, which are already recorded by the country's social-security system and readily available. According to AFP, people can find each others' salaries by simply calling public tax authorities.

    Many of them also don't believe the microchip technology is advanced enough to be hacked. Libberton, the microbiologist, also said the data collected and shared by implants are too limited for users to fear hacking or surveillance.

    Bionyfiken founder Hannes Sjöblad told Tech Insider in 2015:

    "The human body is the next big platform. The connected body is already a phenomena. And this implant is just a part of it. [...]

    "We are updating our bodies with technology on a large scale already with wearables. But all of the wearables we wear today will be implantable in five to 10 years.

    "Who wants to carry a clumsy smartphone or smartwatch when you can have it in your fingernail? I think that is the direction where it is heading."

    In the robot age, are you sure you're a human? | World Economic Forum
    https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/01/in-the-robot-age-are-you-sure-youre-a-human
    To embrace this opportunity, however, we need to change our perspective. We need to understand why this world feels so upside-down, what we can do about it and how, as leaders, we can help others thrive in a world where relentless change is the new norm. We need to take back control, reframe the argument and start putting humans – not technology – first. We need to be more human

    ...

    The power of purpose
    Something I’ve noticed about change is that it makes people feel adrift: they lose sight of who they are, what they stand for and where they’re going in life. Yet, when they find their purpose, they feel anchored.

    Purpose acts as a reassuring compass that helps us thrive in the storm of change. It connects us to something bigger than ourselves – a core set of values that defines who we are. It also fosters a sense of community and human-to-human collaboration. Research shows that having a purpose even helps us live longer.

    ...

    Just imagine what we can achieve together when we scale this effect. We know that purposeful people work on purposeful brands. We also know that consumers are increasingly drawn to brands and products with an evident sense of social or environmental purpose. And we know that purpose-driven companies are valued more highly on the stock market. So, purpose not only drives us as humans, but it drives business too. Companies with purpose last, brands with purpose grow, and people with purpose thrive.

    Ale i v tom českém dokumentu ministerstva o Průmyslu 4.0 najdeme i tyhle extrémní transhumanistické přesahy - augmentace, propojení s počítačem přes mozek, genetické modifikace, VR/AR ... a explicitně napsané znovu, že jde o kompletní změnu fungování lidské společnosti na všech úrovních.

    Je divu, že o kompletní změně fungování celé lidské společnosti není žádná veřejná debata? Jen nn Bilderbergech a jiných, kterým svěřujeme důvěru?

    A pak pri financni krizi 2008 je BlackRock statem USA poveren, aby resil financni krizi, prestoze samotny BlackRock je ve stretu zajmu?

    Tohle nebudou nejaci altruisti, co jako "chudaci" kupuji akcie GameStopu, protoze si nejaky reddit forum hraje vlastni financni machinace. :)

    Ze jsou peceni vareni na Bilderbergu me ani neprekvapuje.

    Jinak osobne si nemyslim, ze nejaky Vanguard/BlackRock ridi svet. To jsou predstvy, ktere jsou casto podsouvany.. ve filmech a jinem narativu. Ten Fink, CEO ci co BlackRocku, to nebude imho zadny Dr. Evil.

    Ani Schwab, Bill Gates,

    Vsechny ale struktury a site formalnich i neformalnich kontaktu mohou umoznovat fungovat jakesi stinove vlade.

    A protoze lidi maji tendenci si ta zlocinna spiknuti simplifikovat, maji dojem, ze by se muselo provalit.

    Jak rekl Bill Gates : "Proc bych mel sledovat lidi, co meli COVID vakcinu? Co bych tim ziskal?". Prestoze na jinem speechy jasne se primlouva pro globalni program ID2020 (?) .
    On to otocil ve strawmana... co on by z toho mel, ze muze sledovat Frantu Novaka? On nic. Protoze o nej tu nejde.

    Jestli je nejakej jeden nebo nejakej velkej overlord, tohle budou spis pesaci, co jsou radi, kdyz je nepredhodi reptilianum k obedu, kdyz to prezenu :-))

    Nebo kdyz novinarum nejaky bilderbergovec, politik rekl "EURO jsme vymysleli na Bilderbergu! Fajn parta"

    Nemaj zadny vliv. Jenom si povidaji. :)

    .... sic ne nemozne.. . ale ony i ty bailouty v 2008, kterymi byl BlackRock poveren, jsou neco dodnes hodne divneho. Rozdalo se 2,3 bilionu USD protekcionisticky bankam a korporacim.

    ... to komu se rozdelily ty prachy... a ze tohle samozrejme ustilo k jeste vetsi inflaci.. to se jakoby moc neresi.

    A kdo u toho stal ? BlackRock :-)

    Ale to je samozrejme jen nehoda.. oni jsou precejen v tehle veci nejvetsi experti, tak koho jineho by mely USA pozadat o pomoc s resenim krize jineho nez nejbohatsi investicni fond na svete?

    Proto i ex-reditele farmaceutickych firem jsou v politice a naopak... lide z Goldman Sachs jdou sefovat do FEDu a zpet atd. proste jsou to nejvetsi experti. Tak je logicke, ze je osud dovanul do vysokych pozic ve vlade i byznysu.

    The nakedly QAnon conspiracy theorists got in on the act, too. “New Zealand’s pro-tyranny PM Jacinda Ardern is filmed coming out of the globalist Death Star financial headquarters at BlackRock,” gurgled one prominent QAnon account on Gab, the social network beloved by the far-right. Endless comment threads filled with the usual screeds of invective, dystopian fantasy, casual comparisons to Nazism and a big serving of misogyny. Naturally, New Zealand’s own disinformation groups eagerly shared it.

    But just how insidious and secretive was Ardern’s BlackRock visit? So insidious and secretive that you can find evidence of it on, well, her own Facebook page on the day it happened.

    When it comes to meetings that determine the trajectory of global development, the first half of June was a busy time. The G7 Summit was held in Bavaria, and the Bilderberg Club conducted its annual meeting next door in Austria on June 14. Many of the participants in that club’s meetings carry more weight than the presidents and prime ministers from the Group of Seven. We know that each year, the presidents and chairmen of the boards of directors of banks and corporations with impressive brand names like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Lizard, Banco Santander, HSBC, Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, Alcoa, Google, etc. all meet as part of that club. Those brands are household names, and there is no denying the economic and political influence these banks and corporations wield all over the world.

    But some attendees of Bilderberg Club meetings represent organizations whose names mean little to the public. But that’s not because those organizations are less influential than Goldman Sachs, HSBC, or Royal Dutch Shell. On the contrary, their impact is often even greater, although they avoid the limelight. And that’s true, not only during meetings of the club, but also in everyday life. Organizations like this are rightly known for working «behind the scenes».


    In particular, Philipp Hildebrand, a vice chairman at BlackRock, made his appearance as one of the 140 participants at the meeting in Austria. Philipp Hildebrand is a man «widely known in narrow circles». A glance at his track record shows that in the past he has held positions such as IMF director for Switzerland, chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), director of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and so on. And now he is a vice chairman at this little-known organization called BlackRock. But I would suggest that Blackrock’s influence is every bit as significant as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley put together. In the past I have written that BlackRock is one of the Big Four – a group of huge financial holding companies that control many sectors of the economy in the US and abroad. Other members of the Big Four also include: the Vanguard Group; State Street Corporation; and FMR Corporation (Fidelity). Here is a brief sketch of BlackRock.

    The company’s very name, «black rock», is probably intended to convey an image of strength and solidity. In a recent article titled «The Wars of Wall Street» (May 13, 2015), Russian strategic analyst Elena Larina wrote: «…behind every well-known bank on Wall Street stand even more powerful and unregulated institutions. Those are asset management companies. The biggest and most mysterious of them is the BlackRock corporation headed by Larry Fink. Currently it manages assets – the vast majority of which are stocks – worth more than $4.5 trillion. Just one figure – $36.5 trillion – gives an idea of the extent of the firm’s predominance, and that number is slightly less than the capitalization of this company that is included in the S&P 500, meaning that BlackRock controls a significant part of corporate America».

    BlackRock (BR) is an international investment company headquartered in New York (USA). At the end of 2013 it had $4.57 trillion in assets under management. By mid-2014, those assets had grown to $4.77 trillion. Some experts believe that BlackRock controls more assets than any of the other Big Four firms.

    BlackRock is the youngest of the Big Four, founded in 1988. It has literally only been in the market for a quarter century, but has soared to heights beyond the reach of other companies. The company has a global presence, with 21 investment centers and 70 offices in 30 countries and with clients in 100 countries.

    And unlike the family-owned FMR, BlackRock is a public corporation with shares traded on the stock exchange. The principal owners of BR, if one can trust Wikipedia, are Bank of America (34.1 %), PNC Financial Services (24.6 %), and Barclays PLC (19.9 %). But that information is likely out of date. NASDAQ claims that as of Dec. 31, 2014, BR’s biggest shareholders (share capital, %) were: PNC Financial Services – 20.98; Norges Bank Investment Management – 7.15; Wellington Management Co. – 6.38; FMR – 4.16; Vanguard – 3.89; State Street – 3.43; and BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (BRITC) – 1.98. In additional to institutional investors, mutual funds also hold shares of BlackRock, as is typical. Almost every member of the pantheon of the Big Four is included in the top ten of these funds (six from the coterie of Vanguard, two from FMR, and another two have to be looked at separately).

    The biggest institutional shareholder is PNC Financial Services – an American financial company with $345 billion in assets at the end of 2014 and headquartered in Pittsburgh. But when we look at who owns PNC Financial Services, it appears that its five largest institutional investors include three of the Big Four. That would be Vanguard, State Street, and BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (BRITC). The last of these companies is a division of BlackRock – part of its empire.

    And the third largest institutional investor – Wellington Management Co. – is very closely linked to another member of the Big Four, the financial company Vanguard. Perhaps the only one of BR’s institutional investors that is relatively independent of the Big Four is the company Norges Bank Investment Management – a specialized division of the Norwegian central bank, which is responsible for investing the Pension Fund of Norway in the financial markets.

    Individual shareholders, primarily those who serve as the company’s senior managers, also invest in BlackRock. The five biggest individual investors own shares equal to 1.16% of the company’s capital (as of April 2015).6 The key figures in BlackRock’s management are: Laurence D. Fink – founder, chairman, and CEO; Robert S. Kapito – founder and co-president; Charles Hallac – co-president; and Susan Wagner – founder and member of the board of directors.

    It is worth noting that BlackRock has the smallest staff of any of the Big Four companies – numbering only 11,500 (in 2013). That works out to over $400 million in managed assets per BlackRock employee. That figure is beyond the reach of other companies and organizations in the American financial sector.

    Like the other Big Four companies, BlackRock owns a capital stake in the leading banks on Wall Street. But the company also has an appetite for European banks. In December 2009, BlackRock purchased Barclays Global Investors for $13.5 billion. As we see, BlackRock has a very intimate relationship with Barclays bank. That bank, by the way, took first place in a ranking created by the Institute of Technology in Zurich. The Rothschild-led Barclays Bank also held some staggering positions during the global financial crisis.

    Suffice it to say that in 2007, Barclays was the biggest institutional investor in some key Wall Street banks, such as Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, and Bank of New York Mellon. Plus, Barclays was the second largest institutional investor in the US bank Wells Fargo. Incidentally, Barclays also held strong positions in many non-US banks. It is worth noting that BlackRock was as a major shareholder in those same banks as well (although not as significant a figure as Barclays). It could also be seen that BlackRock and Barclays seemed to work in tandem, but their codependence was not easy to establish.

    It can be difficult to figure out which end is the dog and which end is her tail and who is controlling whom. Is Barclays directing BlackRock or is BlackRock running the bank? But most experts are inclined to believe that it is BlackRock that is dominating the famous Barclays bank, which has always been associated with the Rothschild family. Therefore, a correction can be made to the Swiss rankings, in order to take into account BlackRock’s purchase of Barclays. The Swiss list of top ten companies did not previously include BlackRock, but now it can be added with confidence. If BlackRock assumes Barclays’ place, that will put it right at the top. The company is very influential, publishing the credit ratings of countries all over the world. According to its January 2013 rating, the most creditworthy country is Norway, followed by Singapore, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland. BlackRock awarded the United States only 15th place.

    Of course BlackRock’s interests are not limited to banks. It buys shares in a wide spectrum of industries in different parts of the world. We have talked about how Fidelity owns a 7% stake in the world-famous company Google. And the second largest investor is BlackRock with 5.7%. NASDAQ provides information about the investment activity of several major divisions within the BlackRock financial holding company: BlackRock Group Ltd. (BRG), BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (BRITC); and BlackRock Fund Advisors (BRFA). See table 1.

    ...

    And so, many banks and companies that are represented at the annual meetings of the Bilderberg Club, are, to a greater or lesser extent, dependent on BlackRock. If Philipp Hildebrand spoke at the current conference, then I am sure the other attendees listened to him with particular attention and respect. For this reason, one of the best-informed people in the world, former Fed chairman Paul Volcker, once called BlackRock the most powerful financial corporation in the world.

    BlackRock and Vanguard own about 15% of every US company. But one upstart ETF issuer contends they aren’t voting their shares the way investors want.

    BlackRock and Vanguard collectively own about 15% of every US company, but are they voting their shares in a way that aligns with investors in their funds? One new exchange-traded fund company, Strive Asset Management, says they aren’t, claiming they’ve gone against their fiduciary duty by becoming too “woke” and forming an “ideological cartel.” Now it has plans to offer alternatives.


    On this week’s episode of Trillions, we talk to Vivek Ramaswamy and Anson Frericks, co-founders of Strive. They plan to launch ETFs similar to those of BlackRock and Vanguard, but promise to keep politics and ESG concerns out of their voting. They discuss criticisms of ESG investing, stakeholder vs. shareholder capitalism and what Ramaswamy calls “excellence capitalism.” They also talk about how Strive will compete against the two biggest asset managers on the planet, and its noteworthy backers—including Peter Theil and Bill Ackman.

    Activists thought BlackRock, Vanguard were climate allies. Not now
    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/13/blackrock-vanguard-found-religion-on-climate-doubts-are-growing.html
    To other shareholders, the concept of direct engagement can best summed up in a more ambiguous way — BlackRock and Vanguard are saying, “Trust us.”

    A ‘black box’ of engagement efforts
    No matter how many words the two companies print in annual stewardship reports, there are no details on a company-by-company basis and no quantitative metric — like a proxy voting record — on which to judge their progress.

    “The real issue with the Vanguard and BlackRock approach is that it is a black box,” Logan said. “I don’t think at a high level we disagree with the idea that engagement can lead to progress, but we’ve spent quite a bit of time in climate debate and the time for confidential engagement has passed.” He added, “the idea that they can say just ‘trust us’ engaging with these companies and not provide evidence it is yielding any change ... it is fair to say we are disappointed with the lack of tangible, specific disclosure from Vanguard and BlackRock.”

    Facts to Know About BlackRock, the World's Largest Asset Manager
    https://www.businessinsider.com/what-to-know-about-blackrock-larry-fink-biden-cabinet-facts-2020-12
    BlackRock, the world's largest investment manager, has become an increasingly influential Wall Street player in Washington, DC. The firm has hired notable policy-makers over the years, and at least three leaders with the New York-based asset manager on their resumes now hold prominent roles in President Joe Biden's cabinet.

    Former BlackRock investment executive Brian Deese leads Biden's National Economic Council, effectively serving as his top advisor on economic matters. Biden also tapped Adewale "Wally" Adeyemo, a former chief of staff to BlackRock chief executive and longtime Democrat Larry Fink, to serve as a top official at the Treasury Department.

    Meanwhile Michael Pyle, BlackRock's former global chief investment strategist who had worked in the Obama administration before joining the firm, serves as chief economic advisor to Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Fact Check-Video claiming BlackRock and Vanguard ‘own all the biggest corporations in the world’ is missing context | Reuters

    However, spokespeople for both firms told Reuters that, while they do appear to own significant shares in the world’s biggest businesses, those shares are purchased using money belonging to their clients – and therefore the shareholders are ultimately their clients.

    ...


    VOTING RIGHTS
    Both Professor Edmans and Franklin Allen, a professor of finance and economics at Imperial College London (here), told Reuters they did not believe people should be concerned about Vanguard and BlackRock having significant shares in large companies.

    Meanwhile, Professor Pavlova said a concern could be that the two companies “may not accurately represent client preferences” when voting in invested companies on their behalf. She also acknowledged that both “try to be transparent in how they vote (by) publishing this information”.

    As company shareholders, BlackRock and Vanguard can vote on behalf of their clients at company shareholder meetings. Both firms also have “investment stewardship” functions, which enables the proxy votes.

    BlackRock’s spokesperson said the votes can also be carried out by a portfolio manager – and in some cases at BlackRock, can be carried out by the clients themselves (here).

    (V podstate tu opakuji ten argument, ze "klienti vlastni ty akcie, ne my", coz je samozrejme blbost. Investori jim dali penize, oni jim za ne poskytuji nejake sluzby.

    Pokud by financni system a BlackRock/Vanguard zbankrovtoval, muzou byt investice klientu pouzity na umoreni dluhu fondu.. Podobne plati pro penize, ktere mame v bankach.)

    // zajimave , ze v dobe psani tohodle jejich textu , kdyz koluji hodne ta videa o Vanguardu a BlackRock, tak BlackRock vydelai tenhle statement, ze chystaji "rozsirit" moznosti investoru, aby se podileli na volbach valne hromady stakeholderu.

    Tam popisuji, jak je ted v roce 2022 napadlo chystat nabidnout nejake "vetsi" moznosti v pristupu k hlasovani v ramci jejich BIS(BlackRock Investment Shareholder) . Nejakou formu tam zrejme uz meli, ale co je to "vetsi"? Evidente ne ve stejne roli jako u skutecneho vlastnika, coz jsou oni.

    Za me tyhle lidi z podobnych spolecnosti jsou jedni z nejneduverihodnejsich lidi na tehle planete a neveril bych jim ani dobry den.. Ale tyhle lidi umi rikat ty spravne kecy jak jejich "cilem je aby investori meli ohromnou moznost podilet se na blablablabla".

    Ale jake jsou moznosti podilet se na hlasovani stakeholderu a jak se to ma lisit v tom, co shodou okolnosti ted teprve chystaji, se tam nikde nevysvetluje. Jen spousta tech klasickych fluffy PR kecu.

    Vsiml jsem si, ze sice Reuters clanek nasledujici popisuje jako, ze klienti maji takovou moznost, ve skutecnosti se tam mluvi v budoucim case
    Working to expand proxy voting choice for our clients

    BlackRock’s role is to help our clients achieve their long-term financial goals. Core to this is the fact that the money we manage is not our own; it belongs to our clients. We work hard to stay ahead of our clients’ needs by delivering them the widest set of choices across everything we do so they can choose what works best for them.

    Our view is the choices we make available to clients should also extend to proxy voting. We believe clients should, where possible, have more choices as to how they participate in voting their index holdings.

    Beginning in 2022, BlackRock is taking the first in a series of steps to expand the opportunity for clients to participate in proxy voting decisions where legally and operationally viable. To do this, BlackRock has been developing new technology and working with industry partners over the past several years to enable a significant expansion in proxy voting choices for more clients.

    Much like asset allocation and portfolio construction, where some clients take an active role while others outsource these decisions to us, more of our clients are interested in having a say in how their index holdings are voted. We want to provide choice to these clients while continuing to support those who have selected BlackRock’s industry-leading investment stewardship team to vote on their behalf.

    These voting choice options will first be available to institutional clients invested in index strategies – within institutional separate accounts globally and certain pooled funds managed by BlackRock in the U.S. and UK. Approximately 40% of the $4.8 trillion index equity assets we manage1 for our clients will be eligible for these new voting options.

    While we are offering clients more choice in how their index holdings are voted, BlackRock Investment Stewardship (BIS), our independent investment stewardship team, remains central to BlackRock’s fiduciary approach. In seeking client feedback to develop this capability, we heard that many clients want BIS to continue voting on their behalf, while we also heard from clients interested in greater participation in proxy voting.

    Since its inception two decades ago, BIS has grown to be one of the largest investment stewardship teams in the asset management industry. This reflects the importance we place on engaging with the boards and management of the companies that we invest in on behalf of clients, advocating for sound corporate governance and sustainable business models to support long-term financial returns. BIS is also an industry leader in providing transparency regarding our stewardship efforts. Learn more about BlackRock’s commitment to Investment Stewardship and find information on BIS policies, corporate engagement, and proxy votes.

    BlackRock is committed to exploring all options to expand proxy voting choice to even more investors, including those invested in ETFs, index mutual funds and other products. This initiative will require the cooperation of additional partners across the investment and proxy voting ecosystem. In certain instances, it will also require regulatory and operational system change.

    // jak to tak ctu, tak clanek Reuters dosti mystifukuje o tom, jaky rozsah moznosti zasahovat do voleb predstavenstva momentalni maji. Tady se zcela evidentne mluvi o nejakych budoucich zmenach.
    Ze budou mit "vetsi" moznost o necem rozhodovat.
