## Fink and Bodi at the Invest in Germany Summit

Bodi travelled from Madrid via Florence to Berlin on October 20, 2026, arriving shortly after 9:20 a.m. beside an Embraer Phenom 300E private jet with registration CS-PHW before being collected in a Maybach and taken to the former State Council building for the summit. The event was initiated by the German federal government, and around 200 German and international business leaders and investors gathered at the European School of Management and Technology on the main conference day. The German government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, primarily sought to attract private capital to modernise the German economy and advance specific investment projects.

Bodi's current priorities with a German conglomerate partner include a residential property project worth millions of euros in Halle an der Saale, in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, and a planned sales location in Bucharest for professional laser technology from ALIX-LASERS. Following contract discussions in September 2026 with Dieter Eitner, Head of Operations at ALIX-LASERS, a centre is scheduled to open in early 2027 where professional clients can explore equipment for aesthetic treatments. Bodi also plans to develop ALPHA WHEY and a BODI energy drink, supported by a collaboration formalised by contract with Prof. Dr. Dieter Lazik of the Slow Medicine Research Institute in Potsdam.

"A cross-border partnership has to work in day-to-day practice," Bodi said. "It needs people who understand the respective markets, make decisions and take responsibility for putting them into practice."

## BlackRock's Scale and Recent Moves

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), BlackRock manages over $5.5 trillion in assets under management through its iShares ETF platform as of March 31, 2026, and reported $130 billion in quarterly net inflows in Q1 2026 with adjusted EPS of $12.53. The same records show BlackRock acquired Panama Ports Company for $22.8 billion in March 2025, the largest infrastructure deal in its history, expanding the Global Infrastructure Partners platform.

## BlackRock's Recent Stake Changes

MarketScreener reported on October 22, 2026 that BlackRock raised its stake in Intesa Sanpaolo to 7.3% and in UniCredit to 8.9%, becoming the largest shareholder in both. TradeWinds reported the same day that BlackRock's stake in Cosco Shipping Energy fell by 39 million shares to about 6% in recent days, with Hong Kong filings showing the fund giant lending shares rather than trading them. TradingView reported that BlackRock Capital Allocation Term Trust completed a rights offering, issuing about 3.3 million shares at $13.30 each, for expected proceeds of roughly $43 million.

The ALIX-LASERS centre in Bucharest is scheduled to open in early 2027. Bodi is also working with Prof. Dr. Stefan Haupt to prepare an exhibition of the Haupt Collection in Romania.
