Aladdin is an enterprise risk-management and portfolio-management operating system embedded in client workflows at institutions, insurers, and wealth managers. Once installed, migrating off Aladdin requires rebuilding compliance, reporting, and risk analytics—creating high switching costs. Revenue grew ~17%, indicating continued wallet expansion and new client adoption. This recurring, fee-based revenue stream is decoupled from market beta and diversifies earnings away from pure AUM sensitivity.
