Aladdin

One risk platform watching over $20 trillion. A single point of view for the world's money.

Aladdin (Asset, Liability, Debt and Derivative Investment Network): BlackRock's risk and portfolio platform, documented (FT, company disclosures) as serving hundreds of institutional clients with combined assets exceeding $20 trillion — meaning one firm's models inform risk decisions across nominally competing institutions. Regulators (FSOC discussions, academic systemic-risk papers) have examined the single-point-of-failure and herding concerns. No secrecy: the concentration is disclosed, priced, and continuing. The node is the archive's cleanest 'documented single point of control' exhibit.
