Standard Chartered announces global collaboration with BlackRock’s Aladdin Wealth

Standard Chartered has announced a global collaboration with BlackRock’s wealth management technology platform Aladdin Wealth.

The partnership aims to strengthen the bank’s wealth advisory and risk management capabilities for its relationship managers and investment advisers through its myWealth Advisor platform.

It builds on the broader relationship between Standard Chartered and BlackRock, with the bank highlighting its continued investment in digital innovation to improve the client experience.

Through the integration of Aladdin Wealth into myWealth Advisor, Standard Chartered’s relationship managers and investment advisers will gain access to analytics and portfolio insights, aiming to enable more data-led and personalised advice for its high net worth (HNW) clients.

Aladdin Wealth seeks to provide comprehensive portfolio risk and return analytics across a range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, funds, ETFs and alternatives.

It also introduces capabilities such as stress testing and scenario analysis, supporting advisers with helping their clients to understand how their portfolios could perform under different market conditions, alongside portfolio management tools.

The initial rollout of Aladdin Wealth on Standard Chartered’s platform will focus on the banks’ Priority, Priority Private and Private Banking client segments in Singapore and Hong Kong, with plans to expand into additional markets “over time”.

“We remain committed to enhancing our wealth advisory capabilities to better serve the evolving needs of our affluent clients,” said Standard Chartered global head, wealth solutions, retail products, data & analytics, Samir Subberwal.

“By integrating BlackRock’s industry-recognised Aladdin Wealth platform into myWealth Advisor, we are strengthening how we deliver personalised, insights-led advice at scale.

“At the same time, we are equipping our frontline with advanced tools to support more informed conversations and help clients navigate the increasingly complex market environment with confidence.”

BlackRock head of Asia Pacific, Susan Chan, added: “Building on our broader relationship with Standard Chartered, this collaboration reflects our shared commitment to delivering innovative client solutions and supporting the bank’s digital innovation agenda through enhanced portfolio risk capabilities.

“As portfolio complexity and client expectations evolve, deeper risk insights and analytics can help wealth managers take a whole portfolio view and deliver tailored advice at scale.”
