Quoniam Asset Management wins Best Transformation Award at SimCorp Global Summit

Copenhagen — April 23, 2026 — Quoniam Asset Management has been named the winner of SimCorp’s 2026 Best Transformation Project Award, presented at the SimCorp Global Summit.

Based in Frankfurt, Quoniam Asset Management is a leading systematic investment manager with more than EUR 25 billion in assets under management and a subsidiary of Union Investment.  

By implementing SimCorp One and leveraging SimCorp Managed Business Services for data management and investment operations, Quoniam has modernized its operating model, significantly reduced time to market for new products, and increased its capacity to run multiple company-wide initiatives in parallel. This strategic transformation was a key catalyst for the introduction of its first actively managed ETFs in December 2025 under the UniActive Q brand and supports scalable global distribution, confidently meeting international regulatory and operational requirements. The UniActive Q range combines systematic forecasting models, machine learning, and economic logic to not only track the market but also aim for a long-term return in excess of the benchmark.

“Going live on SimCorp One has enabled Quoniam to focus even more on adding value for our clients, while adopting best practices in technology and operational processes,” said Nigel Cresswell, Chief Executive Officer, Quoniam Asset Management. “By partnering closely with SimCorp, we have modernized our operating model and ensured that our new innovative ETF range is underpinned by robust infrastructure.”

The Best Transformation Project Award, now in its 16th year, is presented annually at the SimCorp Global Summit to a buy-side institution that has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to technological innovation. 

“We are delighted to recognize Quoniam’s achievement with this award. By implementing SimCorp One alongside SimCorp Managed Business Services, Quoniam has established a more efficient end-to-end workflow that supports product innovation and long-term growth,” said Oliver Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer, SimCorp. “The launch of their active ETF range required new capabilities for ETF-specific workflows, which were all delivered in close partnership between Quoniam and SimCorp teams.”
