SimCorp adds Fiera Capital as Axioma client

Toronto — October 20, 2026 — Fiera Capital, a leading independent asset management firm with a global presence, has selected SimCorp’s Axioma Risk and Axioma Portfolio Optimizer to support risk analytics and enhance portfolio construction.

Axioma Risk is a cloud-native risk management system that helps investment teams identify sources of risk and return. It includes equity and fixed income factor risk models aligned with Fiera Capital's investment strategies, including Canada-focused and regional North American models, as well as granular fixed income risk modelling.

Fiera Capital’s vision is to be the partner of choice for clients seeking performance and the home of people who deliver it. Its investment philosophy is rooted in disciplined portfolio construction, rigorous research and a relentless focus on delivering risk-aware, financially sustainable outcomes. The addition of the Axioma Portfolio Optimizer aims to support this goal by helping investment teams construct and optimize portfolios more efficiently while aligning investment decisions with client-specific objectives and constraints.

Fiera Capital's selection adds to SimCorp’s growing roster of asset managers and institutional investors that rely on its capabilities to support portfolio decisions - a group with about 250 clients in North America.

"With Axioma, Fiera Capital is strengthening how risk insights are embedded throughout the investment process," said Allen Zimmerman, Senior Managing Director and Head of Americas at SimCorp. "It provides a centralized and scalable analytics framework, enabling Fiera Capital's portfolio managers and risk teams to work from a common understanding of portfolio risks and opportunities. Together with risk modelling capabilities closely aligned to the firm's investment focus, this supports more informed investment decisions and provides a strong foundation for future growth."

Fiera Capital’s decision reflects a broader focus across the global buy side on strengthening risk oversight as portfolios grow more complex. SimCorp’s 2026 InvestOps Report found that 50 percent of investment managers rank strengthening risk management among their top three priorities when making technology investment decisions.

As firms seek more sophisticated approaches to risk management, SimCorp continues to enhance Axioma Risk with innovations such as AI-powered portfolio stress testing. This enables portfolio and risk managers to create market scenarios using natural language and evaluate portfolio outcomes more efficiently.
