BlackRock is expanding its private markets technology offering by integrating pre- and post-investment data into a single platform through Aladdin, targeting greater transparency across illiquid assets.

The asset manager said the move brings together investment research, portfolio construction, risk management, and reporting for private equity, private credit, real assets, and infrastructure. The integration is designed to allow investors to assess opportunities and monitor performance across the full investment lifecycle.

BlackRock said private markets investors increasingly require institutional-grade data and analytics as allocations continue to rise. The firm is positioning Aladdin as a core operating system for asset owners and managers navigating complex portfolios with limited liquidity and longer holding periods.

The platform combines sourcing, due diligence, and benchmarking tools with ongoing valuation, cash-flow tracking, and risk analytics. BlackRock said this aims to reduce fragmentation across systems that have historically separated deal evaluation from portfolio oversight.

The move underscores BlackRock’s broader strategy to deepen its role in private markets infrastructure, as competition intensifies among asset managers to offer technology, data, and execution alongside capital.
