In October this year, private bank Coutts announced a relationship with BlackRock to lower the cost of investing for its clients.
The partnership launched six new exclusive funds for clients of Coutts and the NatWest Group.
These funds are being run on the Aladdin platform, which combines risk analytics with comprehensive portfolio management, trading and operations tools on one platform to support decision making.
This May, Northern Trust collaborated with BlackRock to offer enhanced operations, data, and servicing capabilities to mutual clients.
The capabilities will be offered through the Aladdin platform.
The developments followed BlackRock’s collaboration with Microsoft to host Aladdin on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
Microsoft Azure is said to offer greater computing scale to improve the innovation capabilities of the Aladdin platform.
