Charlie Munger was honest about the growing influence of index fund managers like BlackRock&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) Larry Fink. The late Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) vice chairman warned that passive investing has resulted in a massive shift in voting power, one that he believed could have serious consequences.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;A New Bunch Of Emperors&#8217;</h2>
During <a href="https://youtu.be/22faKkazye4?si=z3pKSQ5SnprGvTeO&amp;t=4965">shareholder Q&amp;A</a> at the Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJCO#NASDAQ">DJCO</a>) shareholders meeting in 2022, Munger was asked about the impact of passive investing on stock valuations. His response was direct: "Oh, huge." He explained that the rise of index funds had concentrated power in the hands of a few asset managers who control shareholder votes. "We have a new bunch of emperors, and they're the people who vote the shares in the index funds. Maybe we can make Larry Fink and the people at Vanguard Pope," he joked.
But Munger wasn't laughing when he predicted that this shift would "change the world"—and not for the better. "I don't know what the consequences are going to be, but I predict it will not be good."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BlackRock's Growing Influence</h2>
BlackRock, along with Vanguard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>) and State Street (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), has become one of the biggest shareholders in most major public companies. The firm's assets under management have soared to $11.6 trillion, more than doubling since 2016.
Traditionally, index funds have been seen as a way for everyday investors to passively invest in the market. But instead of just holding shares, asset managers have taken an increasingly active role in shaping corporate policies.
Fink, in particular, has been vocal about pushing companies toward environmental, social and governance goals. As The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/calling-out-emperor-larry-fink-charlie-munger-financial-markets-berkshire-hathaway-11645136040">reported</a> in 2022, Fink threatened in a letter to CEOs to vote against corporate managers if they didn't comply with ESG disclosures set by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
This kind of pressure has real consequences. For example, Climate-focused activist fund Engine No. 1 held just 0.02% of ExxonMobil (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) shares but was able to oust three board members in 2021—thanks to the backing of BlackRock and other major index fund managers.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Debate Over BlackRock's Role</h2>
Munger's concerns highlight a growing debate over whether asset managers should wield this much power. "I think the world of Larry Fink, but I'm not sure I want him to be my emperor," he said.
His words serve as a warning about the unintended consequences of passive investing. When a few firms control voting rights across much of corporate America, decisions that impact millions of investors and workers end up in the hands of a small group of executives.
Munger believed in capitalism, but he also believed in accountability. His criticism of BlackRock's influence wasn't about politics—it was about the risks of too much power being concentrated in too few hands. And as passive investing continues to grow, that debate isn't going away anytime soon.

Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) refusal to explore Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) investments dampened the spirits of cryptocurrency enthusiasts who had hoped the tech behemoth's move would drive demand for the leading digital asset.
However, it's worth noting that one of its largest shareholders, State Street Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>), is a known backer of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
What happened: A financial services giant, State Street, managed about $4.7 trillion in assets as of this writing, making it one of the world's biggest asset managers. The firm also manages the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), the world&#8217;s largest and arguably the most popular exchange-traded fund.
Aside from traditional finance, State Street has ventured into digital asset investing.&nbsp;
The firm, in collaboration with cryptocurrency-focused financial firm Galaxy Digital, <a href="https://investors.statestreet.com/investor-news-events/press-releases/news-details/2024/State-Street-Global-Advisors-Debuts-Three-Digital-Asset-and-Disruptive-Technology-ETFs-Actively-Managed-By-Galaxy-Asset-Management/default.aspx">launched </a>ETFs in September last year, including SPDR Galaxy Digital Asset Ecosystem ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECO#NASDAQ">DECO</a>), that give investors exposure to companies expected to benefit from the adoption of digital assets and blockchains.
State Street projected <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/bc2f1484-1cd8-41d7-85e8-6ad9c754d611">recently </a>that demand for cryptocurrency ETFs would surpass that of precious metal ETFs in North America by the end of 2025, placing them just after equities and bonds in the ETF market.
The company was also exploring avenues like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tokenization">asset tokenization</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43181875/sec-repeals-sab-121-policy-that-restricted-banks-from-providing-custody-services-for-bitcoin-crypto-mom-says-bye-bye">cryptocurrency custody services</a>, according to a Reuters report.

State Street holds about 295.10 million shares of Microsoft, implying a total stake of 3.97%, according to the latest 13F filing.
Microsoft, worth more than $3 trillion, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42421374/microsoft-shareholders-reject-proposal-to-explore-bitcoin-investment">voted down a proposal</a> to consider adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet after the board expressed worries about the asset's volatility. The firm had no exposure to any cryptocurrency-focused ETFs as of this writing.
Price Action: Shares of Microsoft closed 3.19% higher at 401.02 during Wednesday&#8217;s trading session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Shares of companies within the broader financial sector are trading lower amid President Trump's decision to implement tariffs.

Mizuho currently operates its global custody and related business outside of Japan through its local subsidiaries Mizuho Trust &amp; Banking (Luxembourg) S.A., owned by Mizuho Trust &amp; Banking Co., Ltd., and Mizuho Bank (USA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mizuho Bank, Ltd. Both of these entities represent combined assets under custody of approximately US$580 billion and US$24 billion in assets under administration1.
After this transaction, Mizuho will leverage its expertise and network as one of Japan's largest financial institutions to continue providing Japanese clients with trust and custody services for their domestic assets and will collaborate with State Street for global custody and related services.

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>) unveiled its deeper partnership with Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) during its earnings call after reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991826/snowflake-beats-q4-estimates-expands-microsoft-partnership-to-include-openai-models">better-than-expected</a> fourth-quarter results. The data cloud company introduced its new artificial intelligence agent Cortex for enhanced productivity and data access.
What Happened: The company announced that it has expanded its partnership with Microsoft, which brings OpenAI&#8217;s models into Cortex.
Cortex Agents are a new class of AI agents from Snowflake that can perform a variety of business tasks using structured and unstructured data. Cortex is also powered by other large language models.
&#8220;We are supporting a range of market-leading models, including Anthropic&#8217;s Claude, Meta Llama, and DeepSeek,&#8221; said CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy.
The CEO also added, &#8220;We are making Cortex Agents available in Microsoft 365 CoPilot and Microsoft Teams, bringing millions of users, seamless access to information, and accelerated productivity, all within the Microsoft platform.&#8221;
During the earnings call, Ramaswamy highlighted how AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) is using Snowflake&#8217;s AI and machine learning technology to, accelerate drug discovery and development, aiming for 20 new medicines by 2030.
He also explained that State Street Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) leverages Snowflake AI to uncover market insights for better investment decisions.

Why It Matters: Snowflake beat analyst expectations in its latest quarterly results. Earnings per share came in at 30 cents, significantly exceeding the 17 cents per share predicted by analysts. Revenue also soared to $986.77 million, surpassing the anticipated $955.93 million and marking a substantial jump from $774.7 million in the same period last year.
Despite the strong performance, Snowflake&#8217;s future projections fell short of analyst expectations. The company anticipates first-quarter revenue between $955 million and $960 million, lower than the $1 billion estimate. For fiscal 2026, Snowflake projects revenue of $4.28 billion, missing the $4.41 billion estimate.
Price Action: SNOW rose 1.21% on Wednesday and jumped 9.06% in after-hours, this outpaced the 0.05% rise in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index.
The stock remains 5.51% higher on a year-to-date basis and down 28.99% over a year.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SNOW/analyst-ratings">Benzinga tracks 38 analysts</a> with an average price target of $193.42 for the stock, reflecting a &#8220;buy&#8221; rating. Estimates range widely from $121 to $235. Recent ratings from Rosenblatt, Citigroup, and Canaccord Genuity average $218.33, suggesting a potential 20.46% upside.

Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Rep. Jake Auchincloss Has Sold Up to $50K Worth Of State Street Stock: Here's What You Should Know

State Street's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.53% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.41 million shares sold short, which is 1.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.51 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for State Street has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing State Street's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, State Street's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.26%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

The first U.S. based exchange-traded fund turns 32 years old today and is one of the most<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs"> popular ETFs today.</a>
Here's a look at the history of the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and how much an investment at launch would be worth today. What Happened: Launched with seed funding of $6.5 million, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30529288/worlds-first-etf-turns-30-heres-how-much-money-youd-have-if-you-invested-1-000-when-it-launched" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> became the first U.S. ETF </a>on Jan. 22, 1993.
The ETF was approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission several years after&nbsp;State Street Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>)&nbsp;applied for the fund.
Initial interest in the ETF was poor and the fund was almost closed before investors came around to the idea of using ETFs as investment vehicles.
The success of the SPY ETF led to other financial institutions launching similar ETFs that track the S&amp;P 500 Index, one of the largest and most well-known stock market indexes.
The&nbsp;iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>)&nbsp;and&nbsp;Vanguard S&amp;P 500 Index Fund ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>)&nbsp;launched in 2000 and 2010, respectively.
Today, the three ETFs that track the S&amp;P 500 are the largest in the world according to&nbsp;<a href="https://etfdb.com/compare/market-cap/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETFDB&nbsp;</a>with the following assets under management:
<ul>
<li>SPY:&nbsp;$623.5 million</li>
<li>VOO: $603.1 million</li>
<li>IVV: $594.2 million</li>
</ul>
After posting its worst one-year performance in more than a decade for the 2022 year, the S&amp;P 500 Index, which features 500 leading U.S. publicly traded companies, with a primary emphasis on market capitalization, saw outperformance in 2023, ending the year up over 20% and riding a streak of winning weeks. The ETF followed up the rebound with a 24.9% gain in 2024.
In 2024, the S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42678368/sp-500-hits-57-all-time-highs-in-record-breaking-2024-magnificent-7-drive-30-of-nasdaqs-surge">reached new all-time highs </a>on numerous occasions, boosted by soaring valuations for technology stocks.

Investing $1,000 in SPY Stock:&nbsp;While the idea of ETFs was new at the time, investors who followed State Street into the idea of a new investment vehicle to track the S&amp;P 500 would have been pleasantly rewarded.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF traded at around $43.61 in its first days of trading. A $1,000 investment could have purchased 22.93 shares at the time.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $13,930.20 today based on a price of $607.51 for the SPY at the time of writing. This represents a hypothetical return of $1,293.0% over the past 32 years.
Investors who bought the SPY on Jan. 22, 1993, based on a price of $25.02 adjusted for dividends would have an even larger return. The SPY has an adjusted price of $25.02 when adjusted for dividends, which means a $1,000 investment could have purchased 39.97 shares.
The $1,000 investment would be worth $24,282.17 today. This represents a hypothetical return of 2,328.2% over the past 32 years.

Risk appetite surged on Wall Street at the end of the week, with investors ramping up stock purchases ahead of Monday's market closure for Martin Luther King Day, which is also when Donald Trump will be sworn in as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">the 47th U.S. president.</a>
All major indices posted robust gains in midday trading, setting up for their strongest weekly performance since early November. Broad-based buying lifted every sector into the green, underscoring the strength of the rally.
Adding to the positive mood, the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a ceasefire deal with Hamas <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43055426/oil-dips-as-israeli-security-cabinet-approves-gaza-ceasefire-yet-experts-warn-red-sea-risks-persist">in Gaza</a>, leaving final government approval as the last step before the agreement takes effect on Sunday.
Chipmaker Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) soared 8.9%, marking its biggest single-day jump since August 2024. The rally was fueled by rumors that the company could be a takeover target. 
Treasury yields edged higher but remained on track for steep weekly declines, following a softer-than-expected December inflation report that eased concerns over aggressive Federal Reserve policy.
The U.S. dollar rose 0.3% on Friday but is still slightly lower for the week, potentially snapping a six-week winning streak.
Gold prices steadied after Thursday's strong rally, while oil prices extended their decline as ceasefire efforts gained traction.
