The BlackRock Solutions case examines the different functions and economics of a global asset manager's value chain, with particular emphasis on the money management and the investment systems platform businesses. Students analyze why BlackRock decided to unbundle its Aladdin investment platform and if the firm should consider expanding the platform in the future. Students also explore the resulting dual-mission challenges of servicing both internal and external Aladdin clients during a period of rapid growth within BlackRock and significant change in the global financial landscape.
