A few years ago, PenSam evaluated their flow for handling alternative investments and found some serious inefficiencies with data collection and reporting.

Investment data was stored in numerous sheets and systems, which made it difficult to do a proper decomposition of their alternatives portfolio.

They decided to implement Alternative Investments Manager into their existing SimCorp Dimension operating system. Watch Thomas Anker, PenSam’s Application Manager, explain how they’ve since simplified their processes, cut processing time, and most importantly, mitigated their operational risk.

We now have a centralized platform that holds uniform and validated information, which allows for better and easier use of that data in the rest of our organization.
