(funds europe) - Aladdin, BlackRock’s investment management and risk platform, has integrated Preqin’s private markets data and technology into its eFront platform, enabling private markets investors to access pre- and post-investment capabilities within a single system.
Institutional clients can now use eFront to manage the full private markets investment lifecycle in one place, combining portfolio management with market data and analytics sourced from Preqin.
The combined platform is designed to support investors as allocations to private assets grow, shared BlackRock.
On the pre-investment side, clients can use Preqin data within eFront to map opportunities, identify fund managers aligned with portfolio objectives, and conduct due diligence based on strategy, track record and operational characteristics. After investment, fund data feeds directly into eFront, improving portfolio oversight, reporting, and liquidity management across private markets holdings, shared BlackRock.
BlackRock acquired private markets data provider Preqin last year.
“BlackRock Aladdin is redefining the standard for private markets technology and data. For the first time, clients can bring pre-investment intelligence and post-investment analytics together in a single, integrated workflow, narrowing the gap between how institutional investors manage assets across private and public portfolios,” said Sloane Collins, BlackRock’s head of product for Aladdin Private Markets. “This reinforces what we set out to accomplish with the acquisition of Preqin – a combination of rich data, advanced analytics, and scalable technology that helps investors navigate private markets with clarity and confidence.”
