• The award recognizes SimCorp's Investment Book of Record (IBOR), a cornerstone of the SimCorp One platform and providing clients with a real-time total portfolio view across public and private markets.
• Award adds to SimCorp’s growing list of industry recognitions. 

Hong Kong – May 23, 2025 – SimCorp, a leading global financial technology company, has been awarded “Best IBOR (Investment Book of Record) Platform” at the WatersTechnology Asia Awards 20251, which celebrate excellence in financial technology across Asia-Pacific’s capital markets.

A core component powering its integrated front-to-back platform SimCorp One and designed to deliver an overview of both operations and investments, SimCorp’s IBOR is built on a unified data structure that provides investment professionals with real-time and consolidated data across the investment lifecycle, The unified data layer ensures that changes made anywhere on the platform are quickly visible across front, middle, and back-office functions, eliminating the need for multiple systems or batch processing.

SimCorp’s IBOR helps solve a critical challenge for buy-side firms based in APAC. According to the 2025 Global InvestOps Report, the top challenges for the region’s buy-side institutions in their current operating models are the “lack of a single source of data truth (Investment Book of Record)” and the “inability to get a total firm-wide view of investments, risk, and performance.”

SimCorp continues to enhance its IBOR capabilities and is integrating the SimCorp One Copilot with the IBOR. This AI-powered enhancement will enable portfolio managers to instantly query data from the BOR using natural language and access real-time insights on their portfolios and analyses with intuitive visualizations.

“What sets SimCorp’s IBOR apart is our unwavering commitment to reinvesting in the product—particularly in the IBOR itself. Historically, we have reinvested around 20 percent of our revenue into product development, with a significant portion dedicated to the continuous enhancement of the IBOR,” said Edward Bee, Managing Director, Head of APAC, SimCorp.

"This dedication has enabled us to deliver a real-time IBOR solution that seamlessly supports both public and private markets in a single, integrated platform — a key differentiator recognized by WatersTechnology with this award. Our ongoing investment is also driving a transformation of the IBOR, built on a modern, cloud-native architecture with an intuitive user experience and embedded AI capabilities. We’re honoured to receive this recognition, and even more excited about the innovations we’re bringing to the APAC market.”

This award adds to SimCorp’s growing collection of industry recognitions, including:

Best IBOR Platform at Buy-Side Technology Awards (2024)
FTF News Technology Innovation Award for Best Buy-Side Operation Solution for SimCorp One (2024)
