BlackRock is the agent for the Special Purpose Vehicle that the Federal Reserve System created to buy bonds and exchange-traded funds of bonds (ETFs) on the secondary market. They are primary trading ETFs that they themselves issue!
“Of the $1.58 billion in holdings, $746 million come from BlackRock ETFs. That’s about 47 percent of the total. So BlackRock, as the sponsor for the Fed, made 47 percent of its purchases in BlackRock ETFs. A separate chart lists aggregate holdings of $1.31 billion. BlackRock ETFs make up about 48 percent of them."
