The power of our diversified platform is most evident in times of uncertainty, and clients are turning to us more than ever for our comprehensive and integrated solutions.
Our wide range of investment offerings, leading technology platform, whole portfolio approach and global insights are resonating deeply as clients seek partners to help them build stronger, more resilient portfolios that meet their long-term investment goals. BlackRock generated industry-leading long-term net inflows of $248 billion in the first nine months of 2022, including $65 billion in the third quarter. We once again saw strong growth in bond ETFs, with $37 billion of net inflows. Active strategies reflected momentum from significant outsourcing mandates and continued demand for alternatives, where we raised $6 billion across commitments and net inflows. We had record Aladdin client mandates in the first nine months of 2022, with over half coming from multi-product solutions.
We continue to evolve our organization, think comprehensively about our clients’ portfolios and innovate ahead of their needs, all of which is deepening connectivity across our platform. We are uniquely positioned to serve our clients’ needs with integrated investment management, technology and advisory expertise.
