By Milan Rojan

Standard Chartered has announced a global collaboration with BlackRock’s Aladdin Wealth platform to strengthen the capabilities of its myWealth Advisor solution, enhancing portfolio analytics, risk management and personalised wealth advisory services for affluent clients.

Samir Subberwal, Global Head, Wealth Solutions, Retail Products, Data & Analytics at Standard Chartered, said: “By integrating BlackRock’s industry-recognised Aladdin Wealth platform into myWealth Advisor, we are strengthening how we deliver personalised, insights-led advice at scale.”

The collaboration has built on the wider partnership between the two organisations and reflects Standard Chartered’s continued investment in digital innovation to support relationship managers and investment advisers with more advanced data-driven tools.

By integrating Aladdin Wealth into myWealth Advisor, the bank has equipped advisers with enhanced portfolio analytics and risk insights to support more informed investment recommendations. The platform has enabled comprehensive portfolio analysis across multiple asset classes, including equities, fixed income, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds and alternative investments.

Susan Chan, Head of Asia Pacific at BlackRock, said: “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.”

The integration has also introduced advanced capabilities such as stress testing, scenario analysis and portfolio management tools, enabling advisers to assess how client portfolios could perform under different market conditions.

The initial rollout has focused on Singapore and Hong Kong, covering the bank’s Priority, Priority Private and Private Banking client segments, with expansion into additional markets planned over time.

The collaboration has highlighted the growing adoption of digital wealth management technologies as financial institutions seek to enhance advisory capabilities through advanced analytics, portfolio risk assessment and data-driven decision-making. It has also reflected the wider trend of banks integrating technology platforms to deliver more personalised investment advice while supporting advisers with scalable digital tools.
