I really have no idea - can anyone help me out?
Seems like a FO support...sales support/jr sales role (wholesaler?)
Looks to me like you'll be placing catering orders when the BlackRock rep visits Merrill lynch advisors. I could be wrong, but it seems like sales/wholesale support mentioned above. You could probably get some solid relationships out of it obviously, but don't expect to be gaining any actual analytical skills. Are you in NYC?
edit just saw the EMEA part, is that where the position is located or focused on funds concentrated in that area?
It is based in a European capital with a stock market that is the financial center of the nation (not sure if I should tell where). The role doesn't really fit the description above and I was told that I'll be joining the retail team that sells products to private banks and other retail investors. Is it considered "Sale"? Is it any usefull if I want to try a career in S&T?
