SimCorp Revolutionizes Private Market Investments with SimCorp Alternatives

SimCorp, a leading global player in financial technology and a subsidiary of Deutsche Börse Group, has announced the launch of SimCorp Alternatives on September 3, 2025. This innovative offering aims to cater to the diverse needs of alternative investment firms, building on the already successful alternative investment module by SimCorp, which is trusted by some of the world's largest asset owners.

The introduction of SimCorp Alternatives comes with the complete acquisition of Domos FS, a cloud-native alternative investment software provider. This strategic acquisition is set to significantly increase the assets under management (AUM) on the SimCorp platform to over €6 trillion in alternative investments.

Next Steps in the Comprehensive Offering

SimCorp Alternatives expands the existing investment capabilities, enabling general partners (GPs), fund managers, alternative investment fund managers (AIFM), management companies (ManCos), and custodians to automate operational processes and consolidate data across their portfolios. This includes private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure, all streamlined through a fully integrated solution.

Peter Sanderson, CEO of SimCorp, emphasized the company's commitment to transforming private market investments through automation, artificial intelligence, and cloud-native technology. He stated, “For over 50 years, SimCorp has empowered some of the world's most significant asset managers and owners to simplify and scale their investment businesses. With the introduction of SimCorp Alternatives, we aim to further solidify our leadership position in integrated investment management solutions.”

Rapid Market Growth

The private market sector is projected to grow at a pace of more than twice that of public market assets, potentially reaching $65 trillion by 2032. In recent years, many investment management firms have expanded their alternative investment offerings through acquisitions, increasing access to private equity funds. However, those who primarily engaged in equities, fixed income, and derivatives have found themselves constrained by legacy technologies and point solutions that fail to integrate private equity requirements seamlessly, often incurring high costs for minimal automation.

Oliver Johnson, SimCorp's Revenue Director, pointed out that SimCorp Alternatives significantly broadens their market potential, allowing for a better range of services tailored to general partners and other private capital managers. He noted that this innovation reinforces the value proposition for existing clients operating in alternative assets, helping them optimize their investments.

SimCorp Alternatives is available both as an independent solution and as an integrated component of SimCorp One, further showcasing the growing importance of private market investments and the trend towards outsourcing investment operations to central service providers.

Acquisition of Domos FS

SimCorp’s acquisition of Domos FS solidifies the partnership and enhances its offering in the alternative investments space, particularly in Europe and France. With this acquisition, Domos FS aims to continue innovating and providing future-proof technological solutions to meet clients’ emerging needs.

“Joining forces with SimCorp strengthens our longstanding collaboration,” said Arnaud Vinciguerra, CEO of Domos FS. “This acquisition backs the dynamism of the alternative investments sector and the robustness of the Domos platform. Our clients demand forward-looking technological options, and together with SimCorp, we will continue to invest in innovation.”

Founded in 2013, Domos FS has become known for its Software as a Service (SaaS) platform, designed to automate workflows in portfolio management, fund accounting, and investor relations, among others. The company has excelled in aligning with the latest regulatory demands, making it easier for firms to comply with necessary reporting and operational requirements.

With this acquisition, SimCorp has further integrated its solutions and enhanced its comprehensive services for both limited (LP) and general partners (GP), ensuring swift value generation for clients through seamless integration.

Conclusion

Overall, the launch of SimCorp Alternatives marks a significant advancement in the company's integrated investment offering and reflects a strategic response to the growing relevance of the financial markets. As investment operations continue to evolve, SimCorp remains committed to leading innovations in the industry.
