SimCorp Alternatives: A New Era in Private Market Investments

SimCorp, a prominent player in the financial technology sector and a subsidiary of the Deutsche Börse Group, has unveiled its latest offering, SimCorp Alternatives. This innovative suite is aimed at revolutionizing private market investments, catering to the evolving needs of alternative investment firms. With a robust foundation upon SimCorp’s established alternative investment module, this latest launch further enhances the company's standing among top-tier asset owners globally.

Strengthening Alternatives Capabilities

SimCorp Alternatives is engineered to provide General Partners (GPs), fund administrators, and Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs) with a streamlined platform that enhances operational processes and regulatory reporting. This all-encompassing solution facilitates the entire lifecycle management of private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure investments. It allows clients to automate essential tasks and integrates workflows that deliver a holistic view of their investment portfolios.

According to Peter Sanderson, CEO of SimCorp, “For over 50 years, SimCorp has been at the forefront of investment management solutions, assisting the largest asset managers in scaling their operations. The launch of SimCorp Alternatives equips our clients to reshape their private market strategies through advanced technology, including automation and cloud computing.”

This shift is vital. As the demand for private market assets escalates—projected to reach USD 65 trillion by 2032, according to Bain & Company—asset managers face the challenge of integrating these offerings while managing legacy technology constraints.

Integrating with Domos FS

A significant step to bolster the capabilities of SimCorp Alternatives is the acquisition of Domos FS, a leading provider specializing in software for alternative investments. With this acquisition, SimCorp aims to expand its alternative investment assets under management (AUM) to over EUR 6 trillion on its platform. This partnership is not just a strategic move; it symbolizes confidence in the alt-investment momentum and the promise the Domos platform holds.

Arnaud Vinciguerra, Founder and CEO of Domos FS, noted, “This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for alternative investment management, reinforcing our commitment to delivering future-proof technology solutions to clients.” Domos FS is renowned for its cutting-edge Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, providing crucial services like portfolio risk management, regulatory reporting, and investor relations operations.

Addressing Market Demands

As more asset managers step into the private investment realm, the need for integrated, automated solutions is paramount. Firms transitioning from traditional equities and fixed income into alternatives face challenges with systems that are often siloed and antiquated. SimCorp Alternatives seeks to bridge this gap, offering a product that is more than just a tool—it’s a comprehensive solution designed to support sustained growth and competitiveness in the financial market.

The Road Ahead

SimCorp Alternatives is available both as a standalone solution and as an integral component of SimCorp One, reflecting the focus on creating an ecosystem that adapts to the needs of modern financial markets. This is particularly important given the trend toward outsourcing investment operations to centralized service providers, a direction that highlights the growing relevance of the buy-side in finance.

In conclusion, with SimCorp Alternatives, firms will not only automate existing processes but will also enhance their capacity for better decision-making and heightened efficiency across their investment operations. As the landscape of alternative investments evolves, the tools employed by asset managers will determine their success in navigating this dynamic market. SimCorp is poised to lead this transformation, offering solutions that empower clients to successfully manage and grow their investments in a rapidly changing economic environment.
