Product Development and Range Management

Product Development is viewed as a core discipline at BlackRock, where it has been recognised that successful product development is the focal point for the impartial analysis of new ideas and brings together different skills from around the business to turn those ideas into realistic product propositions. It is important to ensure that this function delivers products which combine the investment capabilities with the distribution potential of the firm, whilst ensuring robust operational support.  At BlackRock the responsibility for product development (ex iShares) and range management activities for EMEA pooled funds has been brought under the EMEA Strategic Product Management (SPM) team.
 
The SPM team is responsible for the development, ongoing maintenance and governance of Blackrock's large and diverse range of funds established in multiple domiciles throughout the EMEA region and distributed to clients around the world. The broad remit of the team results in it performing a wide range of functions, including: market, competitor and fund range analysis; the business analysis and design of specific ideas; the project management of fund launches/changes (launch leadership), including detailed product structuring; the production and ongoing maintenance of fund documentation (subject to the Legal function's involvement and approval), including the submission to and agreement with regulators; the co-ordination of the registration and listing of funds in all jurisdictions required for distribution and; the provision of support and liaison services to the various boards of the funds and their management companies and other core fund support services provided to internal teams.
