Singlife, the Singapore-based financial services provider, has appointed Citi and BlackRock Aladdin to provide a technology platform to unify its asset management capabilities across its front, middle and back-office. The selection process began with a tender for 11 different front-office and back-office partners, with a total of 28 different combinations assessed. The final selection was directly overseen by Singlife’s senior executive leadership. Their assessment was based not only on the individual capabilities of Citi and BlackRock Aladdin, but also on the overall strength of the partnership.
