Around a third of assets and 40% of revenues have disappeared, according to Denis Bastin of Oliver Wyman, a consulting firm. Bob Doll, BlackRock's vice-chairman, has estimated that as many as half the world's asset managers are breaking even at best. BGI is among the more successful ones.
St. Joseph had in 1900 the (inflated) census population of 100,000. The city had been promoted âback eastâ by St. Joseph jobbers and warehousemen as the point of departure for the 1849 California Gold Rush--and that publicity and the 1860 Pony Express gave a national exposure to Missouriâs third largest city.
The city is located on the border of Kansas and Missouri and it's the second largest metropolitan area in the state after Greater St. Louis. Kansas City, Missouri is the largest city in the state and its population in 2013 is estimated at 466,600.
