In a market where interest rates are declining, investors are seeking more liquidity by investing in long-term alternatives, including private equity, direct investments in real estate and infrastructure projects, and other alternative funds. However, investment in alternatives differs markedly from traditional investments in fixed income, equities, and derivatives, and they can cause new challenges within your operating model.

An integrated solution to manage alternative investments

Alternatives are costly, difficult to manage and complex. They lack the straight through processing of traditional asset classes, relying heavily on manual review and input of notices and quarterly reports.

The Alternative Investments Manager helps you simplify your alternatives operations and your IT architecture. It’s available as part of SimCorp Dimension – the only integrated front-to-back investment management system. This means you can consolidate and automate your alternative investments across the entire investment lifecycle, just like traditional asset classes, in a single solution. There’s no need to handle alternative investments in a separate application.
