Thomson Reuters Fixed Income Derived Analytics powered by BlackRock Solutions®

Delivering Risk Mitigation and Confidence in Evolving Markets!

The Challenge:

As industry participants continue to diversify portfolios and instruments in search of yield, the process of mitigating the associated risk has become extremely difficult and costly. This is compounded by the regulatory environment where antiquated in-house or non-integrated infrastructure is simply not meeting these regulatory or board-level obligations. There continues to be a market need to mitigate risk and comply with regulations, and at the same time lower operational costs and manual processes.

The Solution:

BlackRock Solutions® and Thomson Reuters have entered into a strategic partnership to distribute a set of fixed income derived analytics from BlackRock Solutions. These new analytics are sourced using Thomson Reuters DataScope data and pricing, and created via BlackRock Solutions’ premier investment and risk management system Aladdin®. Analytics are created using best-in-class interest rate, credit, mortgage and risk models - the same analytics used to manage BlackRock’s $3.5 trillion in assets under management and the same analytics used by BlackRock Solutions’ Aladdin clients to manage over $12 trillion in assets

Combine Thomson Reuters’ industry-leading security data with BlackRock’s proven market risk measures, all in a turn-key solution to manage fixed income portfolio risk.
