Investment management firm Pictet Asset Management (Pictet AM) has selected financial technology provider SimCorp to simplify and consolidate its trading and operations technology platform. The decision builds on a long-standing relationship between the companies, with Pictet AM having used SimCorp’s back-office capabilities since 2008.
Pictet AM, which manages USD 326 billion in assets, will deploy the SimCorp One platform to establish a unified data layer and reduce its number of core systems. The firm will use API connectivity to integrate the platform with its specialised, in-house technology. This allows Pictet AM to retain the proprietary tools that drive its competitive trading strategies while improving data efficiency and scalability across its investment teams.
The system migration reflects a broader trend within the buy-side sector towards vendor and platform consolidation. According to SimCorp’s 2026 InvestOps Report, which surveyed 200 buy-side executives, technology consolidation is the top priority for 58 percent of investment managers. Simplifying the data landscape enables firms to improve portfolio visibility and redirect resources toward innovation and client service. The implementation is on track for completion by December 2026.
