Marathon Asset Management Consolidates Front-to-Back Investment Infrastructure with SimCorp

Subscribe to our newsletter

Marathon Asset Management, the London-based specialist equity manager overseeing more than USD 40 billion in assets, has consolidated its front-to-back investment operations onto the SimCorp One platform. This transition allows the firm to retire its legacy systems and establish a single, unified data layer across its entire business.

The implementation extends an ongoing partnership between the two firms that began in 2010. By streamlining its technology stack, Marathon aims to improve operational efficiency, ensure data consistency, and create a scalable foundation for its investment operations. The system reduces the time required for data reconciliation and technology management, allowing Marathon to focus more heavily on client service and investment decisions driven by its Capital Cycle philosophy.

This consolidation reflects a broader trend within the global investment industry. According to SimCorp’s 2026 InvestOps Report, consolidating technology platforms and vendors is currently the top priority for 58 percent of investment managers globally. Marathon joins several other prominent asset management firms, including Pictet Asset Management, AllianceBernstein, and Lindsell Train, that have recently selected SimCorp to manage their infrastructure.
