Bryan White, who co-founded BlackRock Inc.’s $21.3 billion business that invests in hedge funds, is leaving the company.

White will stay with the firm into the second quarter as part of a transition period, spokesman Ed Sweeney said Thursday. BlackRock named Bryan Smith chairman of the group’s management committee and Dave Matter chairman of the investment committee. In September, Smith became co-head of the group alongside White.
