SimCorp, an investment management service provider, and MSCI have established a direct data and analytics links between SimCorp Dimension and the MSCI RiskManager platform, with future plans to connect MSCI’s BarraOne product as well.
The new interface is currently available and enables common clients of SimCorp Dimension and MSCI RiskManager to obtain up-to-date risk analytics through an integrated workflow that shares SimCorp Dimension holdings and MSCI RiskManager risk analytics between the two.
Users will have on-screen access to back-testing, value-at-risk calculations, historical data and analytics. The developers say the new workflow will allow common clients to reduce operational complexity and make better informed investment decisions using a clearer picture of their risk exposure.
“One of the principal objectives of SimCorp Dimension is to equip clients with the best tools available to monitor risk. MSCI’s best-in-class market risk offering is a natural partner for us and will enable our mutual clients to obtain maximum benefit from both products and achieve watertight risk monitoring,” says Marc Schröter, Senior Vice President and Head of Product Management, SimCorp.
“Our clients want investment management tools that work together and complement each other through every part of the investment process,” adds Roveen Bhansali, Managing Director and Head of Risk Management Analytics for MSCI.
The new system has already been put use by Swiss & Global Asset Management, an independent, pure-play asset management group, which used the new technical interface under a pilot scheme.
