Helping Pension Plans around the globe
You’re not just investing money, you’re investing the security and livelihood of people central to your community. To help your plan members retire with security and dignity after a lifetime of public service, you need simple and cost-efficient tools for using complex investment vehicles. But as the aging member population grows and the global economy slows, how do you strike the balance between risk, return and impact?
Operating with constrained internal systems and limited resources isn’t making it any easier. Don’t let manual processes and legacy technology take your focus away from protecting the future of your plan members. With the latest technologies and cloud, you have more operating model choices today to help you achieve the highest risk-adjusted returns at a reasonable cost. Choosing the right operating model – and the right business partner – is vital for overcoming your challenges and securing the retirement your members deserve.

Does your organization have a global view of your positions and regulatory compliance?
Today, firms must function as unified organizations with a single view of operations and be able to react to market changes quickly. The key to realizing this is real time cash and positions data.
Improve investment decision-making with real-time positions data
With an Investment Book of Record (IBOR) you can access accurate, real-time data that is updated continuously for market and investment events. This will allow you to make more informed investment decisions and reduce the time you spend on managing imperfect data. More time managing your portfolio. Less time managing your data. The best of both worlds.
Increased regulatory demands make it more important than ever to know your exposure throughout the day
Transparency is crucial, but traditional systems fail to deliver positions in a timely manner and rarely include adjustments resulting from corporate actions and cash flows. This can lead to unnecessary risks, imprecise forecasts and makes it impossible to make immediate interventions when needed.
A holistic view of your investment operations
With SimCorp's Investment Operations and Accounting services you get a single, near real-time consolidated, matched, settled, reconciled and complete book of record across all market sources and asset classes. This takes the pain out of operations and investment accounting, giving you back valuable time to focus on what really matters to your organization – insight and analytics.
