BlackRock Q3: ~$2.2B of new money a day, but flows explain only ~43% of the $2T AUM gain

BlackRock reported third-quarter results Wednesday morning: a record $15.49T in assets, $205B of net client inflows and $15.93 adjusted EPS vs about $14.04 expected.

That's ~$2.2B of new money every day of the quarter. Zoom out though: $869B of inflows over 12 months explains only ~43% of the $2.03T jump in assets. The rest came from markets doing the heavy lifting.
