The partnership will also provide the advisor community with a custom site for secure review of select BlackRock offerings; specialised access funds for lower-minimum investing; streamlined online processes for client onboarding and reporting; and educational content and full-service support to make complex strategies more accessible., the companies said in joint statement.

Hollie Fagan, head of BlackRock’s RIA business, said: “This relationship is a first-of-its kind for BlackRock and highlights our continued focus on providing leading portfolio solutions to our advisors and their clients.

We’re thrilled to be working together with their world-class team to bring next-generation alternative investment solutions to BlackRock’s vast network of advisory clients at scale.”
