“BlackRock's Emergency Savings Initiative couldn't be a clearer expression of the firm's purpose to help more people experience financial well-being -- it is another way BlackRock is helping everyday Americans achieve financial security,” said Mark McCombe, Vice Chairman at BlackRock. “Although the savings initiative began in 2019, COVID made the project even more urgent as a record number of people lost their jobs, and those who did not have short-term savings set aside or quickly depleted them had to dip into their long-term savings to weather the downturn. That coupled with today’s inflationary economy is forcing too many to get by with less.”

Key Points: 
  • “BlackRock's Emergency Savings Initiative couldn't be a clearer expression of the firm's purpose to help more people experience financial well-being -- it is another way BlackRock is helping everyday Americans achieve financial security,” said Mark McCombe, Vice Chairman at BlackRock.
  • In this way, lessons learned from the Emergency Savings Initiative’s 40+ projects could be more easily replicated and scaled for employers and others who need readily available savings solutions.
  • Supporting Mastercard Inc (NYSE: MA) to test multiple emergency savings features with its infrastructure partners.
  • The program has also advanced the industry’s understanding of the nexus between retirement savings and emergency savings.
