BlackRock’s Aladdin’s Wealth Taps iCapital to Power Integrated Alternatives Access

iCapital and Aladdin Wealth, BlackRock’s technology platform for wealth managers, have partnered to integrate their systems, creating a unified experience for advisors navigating alternative investments. 

The collaboration marks the first time advisors using Aladdin Wealth can access a fully integrated workflow powered by iCapital’s alternatives technology. The integration enables advisors to manage the entire lifecycle of alternative investments—from discovery to execution and monitoring—within a single interface. 

Through the platform, advisors can explore alternative offerings available on their firm’s product shelf, initiate subscriptions and redemptions, and track investment status alongside portfolio analytics. The goal is to reduce operational friction while enhancing visibility across portfolios that increasingly include private market allocations. 

“This partnership provides a connected and scalable framework for portfolio construction and oversight, improving efficiency and supporting more personalized client outcomes,” said Lawrence Calcano, Chairman and CEO of iCapital. 

The move comes as demand for alternative investments continues to rise among wealth clients, pushing advisors to seek more seamless technology solutions. 

“As investor demand for alternatives grows, advisors are looking for integrated data and technology that helps them manage whole portfolios with greater efficiency and confidence,” said Ted Stratigos, Global Head of Aladdin Wealth. 

The partnership builds on an expanding relationship between iCapital and BlackRock, including the 2025 launch of a customizable public-private model portfolio within a unified managed account structure supported by iCapital’s platform. 

Headquartered in New York and Greenwich, Connecticut, iCapital services more than $1.14 trillion in assets globally, including over $300 billion in alternatives.
