Bloomberg TV: A Conversation with Bill Gross & Larry Fink

New York — This coming Monday, November 21st at 10pm ET/ 7pm PT,
Bloomberg Television, in partnership with the UCLA Anderson
School of Management, will present “Gross | Fink: Heavy
Hitters,” an exclusive market-moving conversation between PIMCO
founder and co-CIO Bill Gross and Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO
of BlackRock Inc., who collectively manage $4.7 trillion in
assets and are graduates of UCLA Anderson. The one-hour
special, moderated by anchor Erik Schatzker, can be seen
globally on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg.com and the
Bloomberg TV+ app for iPad.

Bill Gross, who runs the world’s biggest bond mutual fund at
Pacific Investment Management Co., has frequently discussed
today’s “new normal” – described as an era of slowing economic
growth in developed markets, higher unemployment and a rise in
emerging markets. Larry Fink, who co-founded BlackRock in 1988
and has built the company through acquisitions, recently told
Bloomberg that clients are “confused” and fleeing risky assets
due to government policies. Under Fink, BlackRock advised the
Federal Reserve during the aftermath of the 2008 financial
crisis and more recently has advised the governments of Greece
and Ireland on how to navigate the sovereign debt crisis in
Europe.

“Gross | Fink: Heavy Hitters” will bring together the two most
influential money managers, to provide their candid take on the
U.S. economy, the European fiscal crisis, Occupy Wall Street and
their thoughts on investing strategy. Meeting at UCLA Anderson
in a special celebration of the institution’s 75th Anniversary,
both titans are alumni of the school, having graduated five
years apart.

The special will repeat on Thursday, November 24th at 12pm ET and
10pm ET; Friday, November 25th at 3pm ET and 11pm ET and
Saturday, November 26th at 6 pm ET and 11 pm ET.
