SimCorp and MSCI expand collaboration to streamline investment managers’ access to private market data

New York – January 8, 2026 – SimCorp, a global leader in financial technology, today announced an expansion of its data collaboration with MSCI, giving buy-side firms using the investment management platform SimCorp One direct access to MSCI’s private market data service and datasets. 

Through this collaboration, SimCorp clients will benefit from easy access to datasets at the fund-, asset-, and deal-level directly within SimCorp’s award-winning platform. Private market investments lack standardized disclosure and consistent reporting, leaving data fragmented and difficult to access. This collaboration addresses that challenge by providing clients with easy access to aggregated, high-quality datasets. 

SimCorp and MSCI first came together in 2022 to provide SimCorp clients access to private investment benchmark data. Building on this successful foundation, the expanded collaboration now offers SimCorp One users access to MSCI's Private Asset Transparency Data, providing detailed visibility into private capital investment holdings. Additionally, access to MSCI’s managed service for automated document collection and data management, including transactions, will help clients automate workflows for fund financial documents. 

Both products are underpinned by MSCI's comprehensive private capital datasets and benchmarks spanning nearly 28,000 funds and funds-of-funds across all private asset classes, complete with historical holdings, performance data, and cash flow profiles. This underscores SimCorp’s commitment to simplifying data access and driving successful business outcomes for clients. 

“Despite the rise of AI technology, many clients are still searching for turnkey solutions that remove complexity from private market operations,” said Hugues Chabanis, Head of SimCorp Alternatives. “In their perpetual quest for efficiency, this continued collaboration with MSCI delivers exactly that, acting as an extension of their operations teams to handle everything from document processing to capital calls and reporting.  This enables our clients to focus on what truly matters for their customers: evaluating the best investment opportunities and driving portfolio performance.” 

SimCorp One enables investment managers to manage both public and private market assets within a single, integrated platform. The integration marks the next step in expanding SimCorp’s partner ecosystem, giving clients the optionality to combine the platform’s advanced capabilities with easy access to data providers and innovative third-party solutions across the investment management value chain. The partner ecosystem is designed to ensure data flow within clients’ operating environments while reducing adoption costs, minimizing vendor lock-in, and accelerating time-to-value.  

Luke Flemmer, Head of Private Assets, MSCI, commented: “MSCI is committed to bringing greater transparency, efficiency, and data accessibility to the private assets’ investment process. By embedding MSCI data, indexes, and analytics into SimCorp One, we are equipping investors with powerful tools to better manage complexity, address regulatory demands, and drive better outcomes.” 

This announcement follows SimCorp’s recent introduction of SimCorp Alternatives, a unified solution that connects LP and GP operations with the technology, scale, and innovation to transform the management of private markets.
