Canso Investment Counsel selects SimCorp One to drive efficiencies and future growth

• SimCorp will provide a complete front-to-back implementation of its investment management platform, SimCorp One, for Canso Investment Counsel.
• The Canadian fixed income asset manager will manage investments and operations within a single platform to streamline portfolio and trade management operations and facilitate growth into new markets.

 

New York, Toronto – April 17, 2025 – SimCorp, a leading global financial technology company, announces that Canso Investment Counsel (Canso), a Canadian portfolio management service provider for institutional and private investors, is adopting the SimCorp One investment management platform.

Canso will use the integrated platform to enhance its operational efficiencies by streamlining its portfolio management operations through SimCorp’s technology to enable scalable growth. With a broad portfolio of investment instruments, SimCorp One will enable Canso to manage its assets within a single system.

“Throughout our partnership, SimCorp has demonstrated an understanding of our unique operational and investment needs, and we’re confident that adopting SimCorp One will streamline our investment processes to support our firm into the future,” said Josh Merchant, Chief Technology Officer, Canso Investment Counsel.

SimCorp’s award-winning[1] investment book of record (IBOR) will offer Canso real-time insights into portfolio holdings, performance, providing a single source of truth across the organization.

SimCorp One ensures that the data that powers investment decision-making in the front office is also used for compliance, performance, trade operations, and downstream support for back-office activities.

Unlike systems that rely on separate databases or data silos -- which can create time lags and multiple reconciliation points -- SimCorp One provides a unified data layer for a consolidated view across the business. Any changes made in one area are instantly reflected throughout the entire investment lifecycle for public and private markets.

“We are delighted that Canso Investment Counsel has selected SimCorp as a key technology partner,” said Allen Zimmerman, Managing Director, Head of Americas, SimCorp. “SimCorp One will help streamline Canso’s investment management operations and provide enhanced data and tools to their portfolio managers. This new partnership highlights SimCorp’s expanding presence in the asset management space across the Americas and the importance of our expanding footprint in Canada.”
