Aladdin (BlackRock): understanding the platform
What Aladdin is, what each component covers (portfolio management, risk, accounting, private markets, data, AI), how the platform fits front to back at an insurer or an asset manager, and what choosing such a provider involves. Based on dated, cited public sources. Independent course, not affiliated with BlackRock.
Videos in preparation: meanwhile, each module can be followed with its annotated slides and its quiz.
