- Munich Re's MEAG becomes the first asset manager to leverage a recent partnership expansion between SimCorp and TS Imagine. The expansion gives SimCorp One users access to TS Imagine's fixed income trade execution capabilities.
- This partnership expansion builds upon an eight-year collaboration between SimCorp and TS Imagine, complementing TS Imagine’s existing trade solutions across asset classes on SimCorp One.
London, 3 April 2025– MEAG, a global asset manager with EUR 362 billion in assets under management, will leverage the partnership between SimCorp and TS Imagine to fulfil the multi-asset class trading mandate of its centralized execution desk.
SimCorp, a leading global financial technology company, and TS Imagine, a leading global, cross-asset provider of trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions for financial institutions, have recently expanded their partnership, established in 2017, to now give SimCorp One users access to TS Imagine's fixed income trade execution capabilities.
MEAG, a Munich Re company, will be the first mutual client to deploy the fixed income capabilities. The asset manager will be able to access TS Imagine's fixed income execution tools, data, analytics and liquidity network while maintaining the benefits of operating on the integrated, front-to-back investment platform, SimCorp One.
By now including fixed income trade execution, the partnership deepens the integration between SimCorp's OMS and TS Imagine's EMS. This enhancement complements existing capabilities across listed asset classes, such as cash equities and exchange-traded derivatives. It also addresses a key industry priority identified in the 2025 Global InvestOps Report. According to the report, which surveyed 200 buy-side executives worldwide, 40 percent identified improving data and operations support for multi-asset investment strategies as a top technology initiative.
Elke Wenzler, Head of Trading, MEAG, said: “We are pleased to announce that we have successfully gone live on TS Imagine's premier fixed income execution management system (EMS). The decision to implement TradeSmart EMS was initially driven by MEAG's multi-asset class trading desk requirement for a unified execution platform that could effectively handle both fixed income and exchange-traded instruments. This objective has now been achieved and we are benefiting from the enhanced workflow efficiencies, expanding liquidity access and improved trader productivity that the strategic partnership between SimCorp and TS Imagine has facilitated and continues to refine.”
Andrew Morgan, President and Chief Revenue, TS Imagine, commented: “Our partnership with SimCorp over the past 8 years has been a highly successful and mutually productive one, servicing some of the world’s largest institutional asset managers with an unrivalled level of integration, access to liquidity and sophistication of execution tools across the asset classes. We are excited to grow our fruitful partnership with SimCorp and to equip MEAG’s centralised execution desk with our flagship TradeSmart EMS, which offers a unique fixed income user experience and a depth of functionality unavailable elsewhere.”
Marc Schröter, Chief Product Officer, SimCorp, said: “We are pleased to have expanded our partnership with TS Imagine as one of SimCorp’s key partners in the EMS space to provide asset managers like MEAG with seamless access to their fixed income trade execution capabilities within SimCorp One. Since our partnership started in 2017, we have consistently enhanced our integration to improve front-office user experience and workflow automation, enabling mutual clients to optimize their investment operations."
