Staying ahead of fast-moving markets requires buy-side firms to sustain incredible agility. Bloomberg helps you do exactly that. Whether you are focused on achieving alpha, reducing portfolio costs, managing risk and compliance, or optimizing execution, Bloomberg provides solutions that meet critical business needs across the entire trading workflow.

For buy-side firms, Bloomberg AIM delivers global, multi-asset solutions for portfolio management, trading, compliance and operations. AIM is designed to offer the most scalable asset management technology in the market —one that allows AIM clients to grow assets on existing investments and to quickly expand into new asset classes, markets or investment styles without disruption.

AIM is used by nearly 14,000 professionals in over 90 countries at over 850 client firms, including some of the largest asset managers, hedge funds, insurance companies, pension funds and government agencies.

Lower your total cost of ownership

Bloomberg delivers AIM on a hosted platform eliminating the need to have dedicated workstations or servers on your premises, so you can lower your total cost of ownership.  We take on the development inherent with changing markets, instruments and technologies, such as infrastructure build-outs, version upgrades, data sourcing, continual tuning and system maintenance.

Trading workflows typically require users to interact with many disparate systems to complete essential tasks. AIM is a premium enterprise service that is fully integrated with the Bloomberg Terminal so you can take advantage of Bloomberg news, data and analytics. With AIM you can move effortlessly from the Terminal to tools for portfolio management, trading and operations.
