BlackRock Solutions

BlackRock has long been recognized for its disciplined investment process and rigorous bottom-up approach to risk management. Since its inception, BlackRock has focused on the need to assess security-and portfolio-level risks, to make investment decisions in rapidly changing markets, and to execute transactions efficiently, while ensuring strict adherence to risk management and compliance guidelines. As a result, BlackRock developed an integrated suite of investment management tools.

In 2000, BlackRock began offering these risk management and trade processing tools to external clients under the BlackRock Solutions brand. Since that time, BlackRock's strategy has been to deliver its significant investment in technology infrastructure and analytics to a select group of large institutional investors at a high level of sophistication, quality and service. Our investment tools are designed to provide portfolio transparency and increased efficiency. Aladdin®, our enterprise investment system, supports the entire investment management process, including risk analytics, portfolio management, compliance and operational processing. Aladdin’s comprehensive suite of risk reports (Green Package®) and interactive fixed income and derivative calculator (AnSer®) are also available on a stand-alone basis.

As of 31 December 2009, BlackRock Solutions provides services for approximately US$9 trillion in securities and derivatives across more than 130 clients, many of whom are among the largest and most sophisticated financial institutions in the world.
