SimCorp wins Best IBOR Platform

SimCorp wins Best IBOR Platform at WatersTechnology Asia Awards for second consecutive year

Hong Kong — June 9, 2026 — SimCorp, a global leader in financial technology, has been awarded Best IBOR (Investment Book of Record) Platform at the 2026 WatersTechnology Asia Awards, marking the second consecutive year the firm has received the award.

“SimCorp continues to set the benchmark for IBOR functionality, providing buy-side firms with the unified, real-time data they need to invest and operate with greater agility, transparency and confidence,” said Victor Anderson, Global Content Director, WatersTechnology. “Winning this award for the second consecutive year is a testament to the platform’s functionality and SimCorp’s ongoing commitment to innovation and enhancement of the IBOR.”

The award highlights the importance of unified data for investment managers in the Asia-Pacific region. SimCorp's 2026 InvestOps Report shows that 72 percent of the region’s firms identify the lack of unified data as their biggest challenge in managing timely and accurate data across the investment lifecycle.

SimCorp's IBOR addresses this challenge by giving clients a consolidated view of positions, trades and cash flows across front-, middle- and back-office functions, with changes visible immediately across the organization. Built on this foundation, SimCorp One’s embedded AI assistant enables portfolio managers to access IBOR insights through natural language queries.

“Being recognized for the second consecutive year by people who truly understand what a real IBOR demands — unified positions, real-time accuracy, full lifecycle coverage — means more to us than any general technology award,” said Edward Bee, Senior Managing Director, Head of APAC, SimCorp. “But what makes this moment significant goes beyond the recognition itself. The industry is increasingly converging on a view that the IBOR isn’t just an operational tool — it’s the foundational data layer that determines whether AI can actually deliver in investment management. You cannot build intelligent, trustworthy automation on fragmented or stale data. SimCorp’s IBOR is purpose-built for that role, and we’re seeing that validated in how our clients in APAC are approaching their AI strategies.”

The WatersTechnology Asia Awards recognize excellence in the deployment and management of financial information and technology within Asia’s capital market community. This latest recognition adds to SimCorp’s growing list of industry awards, including:

• Best Investment Operations and Data Platform at the A-Team Group Data Management Insight Awards Europe 2025.
• Best IBOR Platform – WatersTechnology Buy-Side Technology Awards 2025.
• Best IBOR Platform – WatersTechnology Asia Awards 2025.
• Best Multi-Asset Class Front-to-Back Solution – Market Choice Awards.
