Npars01 , 4 days ago @Mediagazer Uh oh. BlackRock used Harlan Crow's RealPage https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/6/5/2244971/-FBI-raid-on-real-estate-company-linked-to-Harlan-Crow-s-RealPage-rental-price-fixing https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-realpage-rent It quadrupled rents using that data, price fixed rents, and made home buying unaffordable in several countries. Homelessness crisis. Jailing the unhoused. The #enshittification of finance. BlackRock is a malignant vulture. The private equity industry shields money laundering, threat funding, and straw donor elections interference. https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/2024070178/blackrock-to-acquire-data-provider-preqin-for-322-billion-update https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/blackrock-to-buy-private-data-provider-preqin

paninid , 4 days ago @Npars01 @Mediagazer The #enshittification of publicly traded capital markets is what has prompted this acquisition by BlackRock. As an asset class, “alts” are private vehicles with less transparency and rigor of disclosure. Prequin packages and sells that data. The S&P 500 hasn’t beat inflation over the past 10 years. So, investors are chasing alpha wherever they can find it.
