Larry Fink ’s latest letter to investors is the most far-reaching message penned so far by the CEO of BlackRock Inc. (BLK) Fink believes unlocking access to illiquid private markets for everyday investors is essential to solve the pension crisis facing ageing populations worldwide and to meet huge new global infrastructure investment requirements estimated at $68 trillion by 2040 .

Fink readily admits that his letter is an unabashed advertisement for BlackRock , which has already begun to reposition its business in anticipation of a bigger shift into private markets.

Fink clearly believes that tokenization can solve the complexities associated with private market investing which have deterred regulators from allowing wider retail investor participation.

But whether the advent of tradeable digital tokens can accurately reflect the true value of investments in infrastructure, real estate, private equity and private credit when these assets trade very rarely is still debateable.
