BlackRock will add funds to the Clearstream platform to broaden the distribution of its alternative investment solutions.
The move will see the use of Clearstream Fund Services’ distribution infrastructure to process funds at scale, simplifying wealth manager access to private market funds.
The agreement provides BlackRock with access to sophisticated investors through Clearstream’s network of over 300 distribution partners, including a number of global wealth managers with a strong presence in Europe, the UK, and Asia Pacific.
Fabio Osta, head of the alternative specialists team, EMEA Wealth at BlackRock, says: “We are entering a new era for private markets, in which we are bringing together our innovative evergreen solutions with new distribution channels.
“In collaboration with Clearstream we are democratising access to private markets for more investors as they continue to grow their allocations to the asset class.”
Moritz Dechow, head of distribution for Clearstream Fund Services, adds: “Leveraging Clearstream's extensive distribution network, advanced digital platform, and expertise in alternative investments will help simplify access to BlackRock's private market offerings.”
BlackRock provides clients with investment strategies across infrastructure, private credit, private equity, real estate and multi-alternatives solutions.
The firm currently manages over US$600 billion of client assets across private markets and alternatives strategies, and says it is committed to expanding investor access to the wide range of strategies in the asset class through innovative solutions.
