BLACKROCK Inc CEO Larry Fink is betting that a trillion points of data can help revive his firm's ailing stock-picking business.
Even though BlackRock replaced many of its fundamental active equity managers over the past few years, a number of the firm's stock-picking funds are underperforming. Investors have pulled US$7.5 billion from the funds over the past year, according to Morningstar.
