SimCorp, a leading provider of investment management solutions and services for the global financial services industry, has announced the call for entries for the 2015 SimCorp Excellence Awards. The SimCorp Excellence Awards recognize innovation and outstanding performance across the global investment management industry.

Ongoing challenges in the investment management industry have increased focus on risk management, cost control, and growth opportunities. Back in 2009, as a direct response, SimCorp established three awards that recognize outstanding and innovative industry leaders in their ability to respectively mitigate risk, reduce cost, and enable growth. For the seventh year in a row, SimCorp acknowledges global investment management companies that have demonstrated their excellence in meeting these individual challenges.

An international panel consisting of renowned experts and thought leaders in finance, economics and applied IT will evaluate the submissions. Winners will be announced on September 10, 2015, at a ceremony in Copenhagen, where they will be recognized in front of several hundreds of their global industry peers.

Previous award recipients include outstanding investment management firms such as: Challenger Limited, Dealis Fund Operations, MEAG, Nordea Savings and Asset Management, Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management as well as Alberta Investment Management Corporation.

Submission deadline is August 28, 2015. Further information about the awards can be found at www.iucm15.com/awards
