US-based asset management giant AllianceBernstein (AB) has selected SimCorp One as its core investment technology platform.
The system will form part of AllianceBernstein’s central infrastructure, supporting front-to-back investment operations.
The new platform is intended to broaden access to real-time, centralised data for the company’s investment teams and provide a mix of established and proprietary trading tools.
It will work alongside AllianceBernstein’s existing in-house solutions, with the goal of streamlining data processes and supporting future development.
AB chief operating officer Karl Sprules said: “We look forward to transforming our firm’s existing infrastructure to empower our investment teams, serve our global clients, and scale for the future.
“Through SimCorp One, AB’s front, middle, and back-office platforms will be unified on a single, cutting-edge investment platform.”
The implementation is being carried out in several phases over multiple years, beginning with the core investment data platform.
SimCorp, established in 1971 and part of Deutsche Börse Group, specialises in integrated investment management technology for the buy-side sector.
SimCorp’s global workforce numbers more than 3,500. As of 2024, the company also includes Axioma, which provides risk management and portfolio optimisation services.
SimCorp Americas head Allen Zimmerman commented: “We are excited to partner with AllianceBernstein and provide support for their transformation with SimCorp One’s front-to-back investment workflows.
“Innovation is rooted in AllianceBernstein’s DNA, and it has enabled their team to service some of the world’s most sophisticated clients. SimCorp One will help amplify AllianceBernstein’s continued competitive edge in major markets.”
AllianceBernstein manages assets for institutional clients, individuals, and private wealth clients worldwide. The firm reported assets under management totalling $875bn as of 31 January 2026.
In August last year, Michael Thompson was named CEO for AllianceBernstein’s Asia Pacific region. The appointment follows the planned retirement of Ajai Kaul at the end of 2025 after 32 years with the firm.
“AllianceBernstein picks SimCorp as core investment tech partner” was originally created and published by Private Banker International, a GlobalData owned brand.
