Octaura has taken the exciting step of launching two-way connectivity with Aladdin, BlackRock’s unified technology platform combining sophisticated risk analysis and portfolio management. This integration enhances leveraged loan market connectivity for users of the Octaura and Aladdin platforms—streamlining syndicated loan trade workflows and improving operational efficiency.
Clients are already successfully engaged with both platforms simultaneously. This type of connectivity will benefit client ecosystems via increased speed, transparency and access to market liquidity—as more firms are onboarded.
With this new capability, Aladdin users can access Octaura’s full suite of trading solutions, including Market Lists, a cutting-edge protocol launched in Q4 2024 designed to optimize execution and liquidity access for loan market participants. By combining real-time market information with their portfolios, clients gain greater transparency, can make more-informed trading decisions, better manage risk with up-to-date insights and a holistic portfolio view—all while benefiting from a materially enhanced user experience. Orders submitted from Aladdin will flow seamlessly into the Octaura system, and automated trade booking messages will be sent to users for reduced operational friction.
"Our connectivity with Aladdin enhances access to the syndicated loan market, providing our clients with the tools needed to trade more effectively," said Vitaliy Kozak, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at Octaura. “With Octaura’s trading technology, connectivity with the Aladdin platform marks a pivotal step forward to simplify workflows, reduce complexity and accelerate trade execution. This collaboration is a game-changer for our market participants.”
