Through BlackRock Solutions we offer risk management services and enterprise investment system outsourcing to a broad base of institutional portfolios that total $3.5 trillion as of March 31, 2006. BlackRock Solutions services are an outgrowth of our long-standing investment in sophisticated, integrated systems initially designed to support BlackRocks internal risk management and investment operations. Since its inception in 1988, BlackRock has been independently managed by its Management Committee, whose members represent all operating areas of the firm. BlackRock has always focused on a cross-disciplinary team approach where clients benefit from the pooled expertise of the firms resources:our investment and risk management professionals and our proprietarily-developed analytical tools.

Our team is comprised of a dedicated group of professionals with diverse backgrounds including consulting, investment banking, investment management, accounting and law. Several of our professionals have experience working for regulatory and government agencies, and in navigating the unique environment in which the public and private sectors presently interact. Our professionals are extremely practical and project management focused - with a tremendous ability to incorporate very specific risk assessment and asset review skills into advisory engagements.

BlackRock's most senior officers across the firm are available to Financial Markets Advisory clients in their respective areas of expertise and to tap their substantial industry experience and judgment. The Financial Markets Advisory team is fully integrated with the financial modeling and analytical capabilities resident in BlackRock Solutions. We also bring our operations, finance and investment administration personnel to bear with respect to client engagements with integrated advisory and execution elements.
