2021 Trends and Priorities

Guiding clients in transformative times

Executive leadership from SimCorp joined Cutter Associates to share their perspectives on how they are helping clients navigate challenges and innovate for the future.

2020 has been a different and challenging year for investment managers. The coronavirus pandemic has pushed people, processes, and technology to the limit as firms have had to grapple with market volatility, more granular reporting requirements and adapting to remote working. But what lessons have we learned, and what are the key themes to prioritize in 2021 and beyond?

Members of SimCorp’s executive leadership team joined Cutter Associates at their virtual meetings in November 2020, where members met to discuss the latest developments in buy-side investment operations and technology. SimCorp participated in two sessions, sharing expert insights on how to navigate change, trends for 2021, and why firms that continue to embrace technological innovation will come out on top.
