Our Story

A Legacy of Trust Since 1876

For over a century, BlackRock Trust has stood as a pillar of financial stability and fiduciary excellence. Founded in the aftermath of the Gilded Age, our firm was built on the principle that true wealth management extends beyond balance sheets — it is about shepherding family legacies across generations.

Today, we serve over 4,500 families with the same commitment to personalized service, prudent stewardship, and unwavering integrity that has defined our firm for more than 145 years.
