Passthrough, a platform automating onboarding and compliance for private funds, has partnered with BlackRock’s Aladdin to improve investor experience on the eFront platform.
The collaboration integrates Passthrough’s digital subscription technology, allowing clients to digitise their investor onboarding processes and offer scalable investor relations solutions.
The integration, which is currently live, enables eFront users to streamline and automate investor onboarding and fund closings.
Passthrough’s technology facilitates the electronic distribution and execution of subscription documents, advancing subscription workflows and reporting.
Passthrough plans to embed a full onboarding flow, including subscription agreements, tax forms, and AML requests, within eFront’s investor experience.
Passthrough co-founder and CEO Tim Flannery said: “BlackRock continues to set new standards for how institutional investors participate in the private markets ecosystem at large.
“With this integration, together, we’re removing friction from the moment investors log in – giving them one clear, intuitive path from interest to investment.”
Passthrough automates investor onboarding and compliance workflows for private funds, covering subscription documents, tax forms, AML, and KYC processes.
The platform connects to CRMs, investor portals, and fund admin systems, providing a seamless, API-first experience across the investor lifecycle.
BlackRock will leverage Passthrough’s technology to enhance onboarding processes for its private market clients.
Aladdin Partnerships global head managing director Kamya Somasundaram said: “This is an additional proof point in our journey to make private markets more accessible and transparent through data and technology.
“Our collaboration with Passthrough enhances our private markets technology capabilities for the benefit of our common eFront clients – including BlackRock – by optimising the investor experience through the investment lifecycle.”
