About eFront
eFront is an end-to-end alternative investment management platform covering real estate, private equity, infrastructure, and private debt, and has operated as a business unit of BlackRock since 2019. The platform spans the investment lifecycle from fundraising and deal flow management to portfolio monitoring, fund accounting, and investor reporting. eFront Portfolio Monitoring automates data collection from invested assets through a dedicated investee portal, then standardizes it for analysis and investor reporting. An investor portal supports LP relationships, and integration with BlackRock's Aladdin combines public and private asset data into a whole-portfolio view for institutional investors.
