Copenhagen – November 7, 2025 – SimCorp, a global leader in financial technology and a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group, is proud to have been named Best IBOR (Investment Book of Record) Platform at the Buy-Side Technology Awards for the second year in a row.
This recognition underscores SimCorp's continued innovation in addressing the buy side's most critical challenge: providing unified, real-time data as the foundation for AI-powered investment decision-making.
SimCorp’s IBOR is a core component of its award-winning investment management platform SimCorp One. Built on a unified data layer, the IBOR was designed from inception as a single source of truth, enabling instantaneous updates and powering investment decisions in real time. This architecture ensures that any change made on the platform is instantly reflected across front-, middle-, and back-office functions.
“SimCorp has a long history of delivering financial technology that simplifies buy-side investment management. At the heart of this is its outstanding IBOR, which delivers real-time data to the front office — crucial for making the most judicious, transparent and defendable investment decisions,” said Victor Anderson, Global Content Director, WatersTechnology. “Congratulations to SimCorp for being recognized as the best IBOR platform for the second consecutive year. Its robust functionality and SimCorp’s continued innovation in IBOR capabilities are key differentiators that enable clients to act with greater agility, precision, and confidence in their investment strategies.”
SimCorp is further enhancing its IBOR capabilities with SimCorp One Copilot, an AI-powered tool that allows portfolio managers to query data using natural language and access insights with intuitive visualizations. This AI integration amplifies decision-making by proactively identifying risk patterns and validating compliance continuously — all powered by the IBOR data.
"This recognition further demonstrates that SimCorp is built for the evolving needs of our clients, for now and for the future," said Marc Schröter, Chief Product & Technology Officer, SimCorp. “Our unified IBOR is powered by AI and maintains real-time consistency across all of the processes that modern investment management requires."
