BlackRock and AccessFintech, a data and workflow collaboration network for financial markets, have announced a partnership.
Through Aladdin, BlackRock’s technology platform, the firm aims to deliver bilateral connectivity and real-time post-trade collaboration between the global buy side Aladdin platform community, and asset servicing institutions already connected to AccessFintech’s Synergy Network.
Sarah Shenton, CEO of AccessFintech, says: “This partnership is a major milestone in our mission to unlock capital market efficiency at scale.
“We’re proud to deepen our relationship with BlackRock and bring the power of our Synergy Network to Aladdin platform clients.
“This integration will enable interoperable, secure, and intelligent workflow across the investment lifecycle — delivering tangible benefits to the buy side and enhancing collaboration for brokers, custodians and agent bank participants.”
The firm says that the integration between AccessFintech and the Aladdin platform seeks to enable secure, API-first connectivity between buy side firms and their sell side, asset servicing, and market-infrastructure counterparties.
Michael Debevec, head of global investment operations at BlackRock, adds: “BlackRock has accelerated its strategy in partnership with AccessFintech, integrating real-time data across the post-trade and asset servicing lifecycle.
“This delivers more efficient workflow, greater interoperability, and improved risk management.
“Our partnership extends these benefits to the wider Aladdin community, helping clients achieve higher operational performance and capacity throughout the investment lifecycle with a broader ecosystem of collaborators, enhancing the client experience.”
