This week, we’re revisiting an episode from earlier this year. BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink has been on the hunt for the money manager’s next “transformational” deal. In January, Fink revealed that he had finally found it with the acquisition of a private capital firm, Global Infrastructure Partners. The FT’s US financial editor Brooke Masters and US private capital correspondent Antoine Gara explain why BlackRock wanted GIP, and how this deal sets the agenda for Wall Street this year. Clips from CNBC  Plus, send us a question! Behind the Money is teaming up with the FT’s Moral Money newsletter to answer your questions about what “responsible” business and finance really looks like in the 21st century.   That means topics like sustainability, ESG, diversity and inclusion and clean energy investment.
