Technology: A powerful tool for index PMs

Rachel Aguirre, Senior Portfolio Manager at BlackRock, discusses how Aladdin -- our proprietary technology platform -- enables us to assess risks and costs across several dimensions. As our index portfolio managers seek to engineer the precise return of an index while minimizing costs, our integrated technology platform helps them achieve this in a way that's both efficient and scalable.
