+ Warren Buffett's Top Pick

It’s exchange-traded and mutual funds saw a record $221 billion of inflows in the 3Q across multiple products, active, index and regions.
Check out the % breakdown of the funds vested in Blackock (Temasek is one of them!) in the infographic here.
Of course, we also can’t neglect our legendary investor - Warren Buffett as well as his portfolio pick which is our Stock Idea of the Week…

“Do I hear boss music?”
Blackrock is the world’s biggest asset manager with US$10.5 trillion assets under management. It basically owns most of the world’s companies.
You know what’s surprising? Vanguard, the closest competitor, owns 8.9% of Blackrock. And, Blackrock in turn owns 7.0% of Vanguard.
If anything, this looks like a family-owned industry like the Chaebols in South Korea.
Meanwhile, Temasek, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, owns 3.5%. It puts them at a great position to look at the biggest deals happening in the world.
