BlackRock Solutions

BlackRock has long been recognized for its disciplined investment process and rigorous bottom-up approach to risk management. Since its inception in 1988, BlackRock has focused on the need to assess security-level and portfolio-level risks, to make investment decisions in rapidly changing markets, and to execute transactions efficiently, while ensuring strict adherence to risk management and compliance guidelines. These fundamental business requirements demand complex financial analytics and robust information processing capabilities. As a result, BlackRock over time developed an integrated suite of investment management tools.

In 2000, BlackRock began offering these risk management and trade processing tools to external clients under the BlackRock Solutions brand. Since that time, BlackRock's strategy has been to deliver its significant investment in technology infrastructure and analytics to a select group of large institutional investors at a high level of sophistication, quality and service. From Aladdin®, our enterprise investment system, to stand-alone components such as our comprehensive suite of risk reports (Green Package®) and interactive bond calculator (AnSer®), BlackRock Solutions products are designed to provide portfolio transparency and increased efficiency. As of June 30, 2006, BlackRock Solutions provides services for over $4 trillion in securities and derivatives across 80 clients, many of whom are among the largest and most sophisticated financial institutions in the world.
