BlackRock Sells Shares in Plus500
Earlier this week, BlackRock, a New York-based asset management company, announced that it had diluted its stake in Plus500 following a sell-off and now holds less the 5 per cent of the brokerage’s shares
The asset manager took a little over 7 per cent stake in the Israel based broker in September of 2018. That decision was made when the broker's shares slumped at around 20 per cent from its record high, which was achieved in August 2018.
However, Plus500 shares have continued to go down, even after the institutional interest, before pivoting to a steady bull run since April last year.
