“#BlackRock poised to replace Goldman Sachs inside the White House<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Forget \u201cGovernment Sachs\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s BlackRock that\u2019s shaping up to be Wall Street\u2019s new elephant inside the White House.<\/p>\n

President-elect Joe Biden is raising eyebrows with chatter that he\u2019s poised to name two executives from BlackRock \u2014 the asset-management colossus headed by billionaire Larry Fink, with more than $7 trillion in holdings \u2014 for top posts on his economic team.<\/p>\n

Reports swirled over the weekend that Biden has settled on Brian Deese, a current BlackRock executive and former Obama adviser, to lead the National Economic Council. On Sunday, Biden\u2019s transition team said it has chosen Adewale \u201cWally\u201d Adeyemo, a former chief of staff to Fink at BlackRock who is currently president of the Obama Foundation, to be deputy to Treasury secretary nominee Janet Yellen.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, executives at Goldman Sachs \u2014 which over the years earned the moniker \u201cGovernment Sachs\u201d for the ranks of its top executives who have landed in the White House, including Gary Cohn and Steven Mnuchin in the Trump administration \u2014 have been conspicuously absent on Biden\u2019s lists, insiders say.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Larry is doing is very smart, very him,\u201d said one hedge fund manager familiar with Fink. \u201cGoldman and other banks have sent their people into government, whereas Larry took these guys from the White House, worked with them, backed Biden, and now he\u2019s putting them back into the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite his vocal endorsement of various liberal causes, the 68-year-old billionaire Fink and his fund have become preferred whipping posts for the left. BlackRock\u2019s investments in private prisons and weapons manufacturers have made Fink a target for protestors who have ambushed him at conferences and demanded that he be removed from the boards of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney.<\/p>\n

Still, Fink was one of the few Wall Street titans to publicly support Biden during the election, with some rumors circulating that he had his eye on Treasury or the National Economic Council role that Deese now looks poised to fill. Without joining the White House himself, having BlackRock alums in Biden\u2019s ear could be helpful to Fink as the economy recovers from the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Deese, 42, is not a trained economist but he played a key role throughout the Obama administration working on everything from the auto bailout to the Paris Climate Agreement to Merrick Garland\u2019s failed nomination to the Supreme Court. After Trump\u2019s inauguration, Deese joined BlackRock as Global Head of Sustainable Investing. That role puts him in control of one of Fink\u2019s pet projects: making climate change a key talking point for BlackRock.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarry is the new Goldman Sachs,\u201d said one investment banker. \u201cDeese is not necessarily a \u2018BlackRock guy,\u2019 but he works for Larry and now he advises the president.\u201d<\/p>\n

For decades, banks like Goldman Sachs were the key focus of politicians and regulators, especially after the 2008 crisis. Having former Goldman execs in government roles talking to those regulators and pols was good business for both Goldman and the sector as a whole.<\/p>\n

But as banks shift into a more utility-like future, non-banks like BlackRock that work in the more potent asset management and private-equity spheres will come under more scrutiny.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue isn\u2019t that the banks don\u2019t understand what the rules are,\u201d Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell said in June 2019. \u201cThe issue is that the risk isn\u2019t in the banks. It\u2019s out in those market-based vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under Biden, Deese will take the role previously held by Goldman\u2019s Cohn and currently held by longtime Wall Street insider Larry Kudlow, bringing his work at BlackRock into a senior advisory role.<\/p>\n

Adeyemo, a 39-year-old Kenyan-born lawyer, was also a big player in the Obama Administration, working in the Treasury Department and the White House where he rose to a deputy director role on the NEC. Like Deese, he joined BlackRock after Obama left office in 2017, and took a geopolitical advisory role and served as Fink\u2019s interim chief of staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHedge fund and private-equity guys were always going to be part of future White Houses,\u201d said the hedge fund manager. \u201cTo be honest, I\u2019m glad it\u2019s BlackRock and not people who have no idea what they\u2019re doing.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
