Investment Book of Record (IBOR) – A Comprehensive Guide

A comprehensive guide to IBOR

The term Investment Book of Record (IBOR) was popularised a decade ago. In 2014, a consortium of Asset Managers published a Global IBOR Standard. At the time, no available solutions could fulfil the entire standard although some existing Investment Management Systems and Front-to-Back systems were half way there.

The Standard remains just as relevant today and a few solutions have emerged that cover most of the requirements in the Global IBOR Standard. These solutions have been in production with early adopters for a couple of years and are now being adopted by more and more Asset Managers. But what benefits do they provide? Are there downsides? How do the different Investment Book of Record systems differ?

To answer these questions, we're creating a series of articles. It's a a comprehensive and hands-on guide to Investment Book of Records. The article series is co-authored with Kristoffer Fürst, CEO of Limina, and Doctor Ian Hunt, an independent consultant and IBOR expert. Ian was also the principal author of the Global IBOR Standard.
