Fintech company SimCorp today announced that investment management firm Pictet Asset Management (Pictet AM) has selected SimCorp to simplify its Trading and Operations Technology Platform.

This will support more efficient trade execution and portfolio management across its investment teams.

Pictet AM has been a SimCorp client for back-office capabilities since 2008. Building on this long-standing relationship, the asset manager with USD 326 billion in assets under management will now use the award-winning SimCorp One platform to reduce the number of core systems in place and establish a unified data layer.

“As our business has expanded, managing fragmented systems and disconnected datasets across front-, middle-, and back-office functions has become increasingly complex,” said James Frew, co-Head of Fixed Income Trading, Pictet AM. “SimCorp One provides an integrated front-to-back platform built on a unified data layer, enabling efficient trade execution and faster pre- and post-trade processing.”

Pictet AM will leverage API connectivity to integrate SimCorp One’s cutting-edge capabilities with its specialized in-house technology, allowing the firm to retain the proprietary tools that underpin its competitive trading strategies, while gaining the data efficiency and scalability of a unified investment platform. The implementation is on track for delivery by December 2026.

“A unified data foundation empowers investment teams to make more confident investment decisions. We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Pictet Asset Management and support their investment teams with easier access to centralized, real-time data,” said Oliver Johnson, Chief Revenue Officer, SimCorp. “SimCorp One delivers the integrated technology capabilities that help sophisticated asset managers reduce complexity across their businesses.”

The decision to consolidate fragmented systems reflects a broader shift across the investment management industry. According to SimCorp’s 2026 InvestOps Report, based on a survey of 200 buy-side executives, consolidating technology vendors and platforms is the top technology priority for investment managers, cited by 58 percent. A simpler data landscape allows firms to gain better control and visibility across their portfolios and better redirect resources toward innovation and client service.
