BlackRock adopts Executive Carry Program linking senior exec pay to private markets fund performance
BlackRock, Inc.
- ECP provides selected senior executives (excluding CEO) rights to carry distributions from flagship private funds.
- Awards are at-risk, performance-based: no value at grant; distributions depend on fund returns over long term.
- Vesting: 5-year schedule, no vesting until 3rd anniversary, then 1/3 annually; unvested awards forfeited on termination except for qualified retirement, death, disability.
- Participants to be identified and awards granted beginning in 2026; MDCC approves funds and Section 16 officer awards.
- CEO already received a carry-based incentive in 2025; ECP extends similar alignment to other senior executives.
