SimCorp, a leading provider of investment management solutions and services for the global financial services industry, will participate in a panel discussion titled "Making the business case for an IBOR" at Waters Technology's breakfast briefing in New York on February 4th, 2014.

David Kubersky, President and Managing Director for SimCorp North America, will appear alongside other industry experts to discuss the business benefits that an Investment Book of Record (IBOR) delivers to buy-side firms. Panelists include Todd Healy, Vice President, BMO Asset Management; Richard Adams, Director of Product Management, FISERV, INC.; John Buscema, Head of AIM Operations Product Management, Bloomberg; and Jay Vyas, Vice President and Head of Quantitative Investing, Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board.

Questions the panel will address include:

  • What are the challenges facing buy-side firms in generating a single source of the truth for the investment process?
  • What are the key constituents of an IBOR?
  • What benefits does an IBOR provide to investment managers?

According to Kubersky, "Implementation of an IBOR is becoming even more necessary as investment managers look to not only streamline their processes, but also comply with impending regulations such as Dodd-Frank, FATCA and Solvency II. Our solution, SimCorp Dimension, offers the ability to implement an IBOR and investment managers worldwide are reaping the benefits of having a single source of truth from front- to back-office. I look forward to participating in what promises to be a lively and timely discussion delving into what exactly constitutes an IBOR and examining the strong interest from buy-side firms globally."
