Best SimCorp Dimension Alternatives

In this article, we highlight some competitors and alternatives to SimCorp Dimension (recently rebranded to SimCorp One, including Axioma Risk) to assist investment managers like you who are in the consideration stage of their research journey.

SimCorp Dimension is a broad platform covering workflows from the front office, through the middle office and to the back office. However, functional coverage is not everything when evaluating competitors and alternatives to SimCorp One.

SimCorp was founded in 1974 and is built to service the world’s most sophisticated and largest asset managers and asset owners.

Competitors include equally complex systems like BlackRock's Aladdin and CRD. Other vendors with broad scope, and that services smaller managers includes SS&C Advent and Enfusion (built for hedge funds).

The holy grail is a system that is both simple to understand and use - while at the same time sophisticated enough for your needs. No workarounds should be needed. We're probably biased when we say Limina is such a system :-)
