Real-time insights on Aladdin Data Cloud
Operational Alpha Dashboard
See how your operating model performs, as it happens
Operational Alpha is a real-time operational intelligence dashboard built natively on Aladdin® Data Cloud (ADC). It gives you one interactive view of performance and cost, showing what flows straight through, what is delayed, where risk is building and which counterparties drive friction.
From hindsight to real time
Today: reporting after the event
Post-trade reporting is often spread across several sources and looks backwards. Delays, breaks and risk come to light after they have already cost time and money.
Operational Alpha: one real-time command centre
One self-service view of your post-trade activity, built natively on ADC, showing what flows straight through, what is delayed, where risk is building, and which brokers, venues or counterparties drive friction.
The payoff: measurable results, fast
Problems caught earlier, less manual work, stronger SLA adherence and a clear view of operational cost. Your investment in ADC proves its value quickly, and the dashboard grows with you as new modules are added.

What you see
Every key metric in one view
- Straight-through processing: STP rates over time, by asset type and confirmation method
- Delays and breaks, daily: amendments, manual confirmations and breaks visible every day, so your teams can act while the detail is fresh
- Operational risk: where breaks and backlogs are building, before they escalate
- Counterparty friction: which brokers, venues and counterparties perform best, and which slow you down
- Granular views: performance split by entity, portfolio, broker, asset type, asset class, market, currency and venue
- Cost intelligence: cost insight based on the real operational effort behind each trade, so profitability calculations rest on evidence
- Usage analytics: how teams use Aladdin, so you can target training and adoption

Built natively on Aladdin Data Cloud, configured for your firm
Operational Alpha sits directly on ADC, so it works with the data your firm already holds in Aladdin. There’s no separate data warehouse to build and maintain, and your insights stay in step with the platform.
Start with post-trade and STP insight, then extend into new modules as your priorities evolve.
