In direct response to challenges in the investment management industry, with increased focus on risk management, cost control and growth opportunities, SimCorp StrategyLab rewards the investment management institutions that demonstrate superior accomplishments and excellence in meeting these challenges.
Investment management institutions are invited to participate in an assessment of their ability to mitigate market risk, reduce cost and enable growth in today’s demanding financial environment. The assessment will be based on their achievements, best practices and new developments accomplished in the period from 1 August 2010 to 31 July 2011.
An international jury consisting of renowned specialists and academics within finance, economics and applied IT will evaluate the submissions, and the Excellence Awards 2011 will be announced in September 2011, at a ceremony in Stockholm. The result of the competition will also be announced in the following issue of the Journal of Applied IT and Investment Management.
Previous award winners include MEAG, Nordea Savings and Asset Management as well as Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management.
