Standard Chartered has expanded its partnership with BlackRock by integrating the asset manager's Aladdin Wealth platform into its myWealth Advisor tool to strengthen digital wealth management capabilities.

The bank said the collaboration will provide relationship managers and investment advisers with enhanced portfolio analytics and risk management tools, enabling them to deliver more personalised advice to affluent clients.

Aladdin Wealth offers portfolio risk and return analysis across a range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, exchange-traded funds, investment funds, and alternative assets. The platform also provides stress testing and scenario analysis, allowing advisers to model how client portfolios could perform under different market conditions.

Standard Chartered said the integration will give advisers a consolidated view of portfolio risk and deeper portfolio analytics to support investment discussions with clients.

The rollout will initially cover Standard Chartered's Priority, Priority Private, and Private Banking customers in Singapore and Hong Kong before expanding into additional markets.

The announcement follows a series of investments by Standard Chartered in its digital wealth platform. Earlier this month, the bank launched integrated access to USDC minting and redemption for institutional clients through a partnership with Circle, as it continues to expand
its digital asset and wealth management capabilities.

Samir Subberwal, global head of wealth solutions, retail products, data and analytics at Standard Chartered, said the bank continued to invest in digital technology to improve its wealth management offering.

"We remain committed to enhancing our wealth advisory capabilities to better serve the evolving needs of our affluent clients," he said. "By integrating BlackRock's industry-recognised Aladdin Wealth platform into myWealth Advisor, we are strengthening how we deliver personalised, insights-led advice at scale."
