SimCorp continues to gain share in Australia’s funds management software market, after being chosen to replace a Bloomberg/Princeton frontoffice/backoffice combination at QBE Insurance group.
Over the next 18 months, Simcorp will progressively become the central system for the QBE investment division, beginning with accounting and investment operations, moving on to portfolio management and dealing, then adding performance analytics. Simcorp already has three Australian clients – Macquarie Funds Management Group, Challenger Financial Services and its assorted subsidiary boutiques, and the NSW Treasury Corporation. A contract with the Monetary Authority of Singapore was won and is serviced from Simcorp’s Sydney office.

Investments
Canada has established its first national-level sovereign wealth fund with a seed of C$25 billion to underwrite “nation-building” projects like ports, mines and energy infrastructure. In an unusual funding mechanism, the fund will issue a retail product that will allow individual investors to invest with the SWF and “participate in Canada’s growth”.
