Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson Calls Attention to Potentially Unlawful Market Manipulation by Investment Firm

 
Lincoln– Attorney General Peterson joined a coalition of 19 states that sent a letter to BlackRock Inc., questioning its practices of putting investors’ interests and returns behind the asset manager’s ideological push. Some states work with BlackRock for retirement plans, pension funds, and investments, but the company seems to be more interested in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.
