BlackRock and RedBlack recently launched new technology integrations designed to improve data analytics and trading workflows for alternative investments.
BlackRock’s Aladdin platform expanded its private credit capabilities by integrating asset-level benchmarks and standardized performance metrics through Preqin (Blackrock’s private-market data producer that they acquired last year).
RedBlack has become the first order management system to integrate with CAIS, allowing advisors to trade alternatives directly within their existing rebalancing engine.
These updates address an industry-wide infrastructure gap where advisor demand for alternatives has significantly outpaced available operational support.
Advisors can now monitor order status and apply compliance controls to private funds without toggling between disparate software systems.
The enhancements to Preqin Pro aim to standardize comparisons for private credit across closed-end funds and business development companies.
The goal of these technological advancements is to make alternative investments feel like a unified and standard part of the portfolio management process.
