HSBC signs deal to use BlackRock's 'Aladdin' software worldwide

HSBC is set to boost its wealth management offering with the use of the BlackRock Aladdin Wealth platform, after 18 months’ collaboration between the two parties.    
Aladdin began as an internal tool at BlackRock before becoming the linchpin of Chief Executive Larry Fink’s plan to increase revenues from technology. It is used by investment managers to help to oversee risks and make investment decisions. 
The partnership between Europe’s largest bank and the world’s biggest asset manager comes as both industries are battling to use technology to increase profits and improve service.
Aladdin Wealth is tool that enables portfolio analysis, taking into account weight and risk management. Aladdin has largely been used in asset management since its creation over 30 years ago and was recently selected by Santander Asset Management to drive it digital transformation.
BlackRock’s Fink has said he aims to increase revenues from technology to 30 percent of the firm’s total by 2022, as the broader stock-picking business has come under pressure from lower-cost index funds.
More than 200 institutions and around 25,000 investment professionals use Aladdin and its risk analytics, BlackRock says.
HSBC has already begun to roll out the platform in the United States and in Hong Kong, the bank said. Over the next 2-3 years, Aladdin will eventually be offered to all customers who hold $1 million or more with the bank.
HSBC is following the lead of Swiss bank UBS, who adopted BlackRock’s risk management and portfolio construction tool Aladdin Risk for Wealth Management in 2017.

Big Boss: Nothing but a pointless show with a stupid host

In the midst of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and the nepotism debate, people have decided to boycott Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 14. Salman has been bearing the brunt of these trolls ever since he has shared the first teaser. In nutshell the show is nothing but a bunch of loosers who were kinda popular for a very short amount of time for one or the other reason! Dhinkchak Pooja.. seriously?  Salman - Host? Nope! Favouritism Moreover, the host of the show, Mr. Salman Khan is a very judgmental person, and he expects and wants everyone to respect him, and if one doesn't, we can see list of people who went on record to say how Salman destroyed their careers!!! Well, Salman thinks that he has the right to pass judgment over those people, and is surely biased when it comes to making his judgemental remarks. Big Boss - Negative | Negative | Negative It might have been entertaining for many people but have you ever thought that what value does it add to your life? What are...

RAISE YOUR PAW :- #StopYulin2015

Many of you might be wandering what’s this Yulin festival all about. Peeps, Over 10,000 dogs every year in southern china are tortured alive, skinned alive, boiled alive, even cut/stabbed and then been ultimately eaten. This `festival` is not a festival as the name suggests, The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is, contrary to what many might believe, not even a tradition. It was initiated only in the 1990's by the corrupt looking to find a way to profit off the selling of lychee. Perhaps you might be wandering why the slaughter of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks and all the Fish don’t get so much of focus too , guys the case here is not of being eaten and killed but the Dogs are killed for the "pleasure" of taste and "diversity" of meats. These animals are tortured as much as possible, deliberately. They are skinned alive, and then they are cooked alive. Again, let me repeat that the torture is deliberate. In fact, it is the entire point of the dog & cat me...
