Frequently asked questions
SimCorp Dimension scores F on the API Report Card. Documented REST, bulk, and streaming APIs exist on the thesim.dev portal with Swagger specs and example code. Access is limited to existing clients, certified Open Platform partners, and approved integrators. The young REST layer sits atop the Communication Server's file, FIX, and SWIFT messaging.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
SimCorp Dimension is an enterprise front-to-back investment management platform, since 2024 rebranded and re-architected as SimCorp One, that consolidates order management (OMS), portfolio management, the Investment Book of Record (IBOR), Accounting Book of Record (ABOR), investment accounting, NAV and fund accounting, performance measurement and attribution, GIPS reporting, risk and compliance, collateral management, data management/IMW (Investment Management Warehouse), client reporting (via Coric), and, with the 2022 Axioma acquisition rolled in, portfolio construction, optimization, and risk analytics.
Primary vertical: Financial Services (buy-side investment management technology). A large asset manager runs the full trade life cycle in SimCorp Dimension: portfolio managers and traders enter orders in the front-office OMS, compliance pre-trade rules are checked against the SimCorp compliance engine, executions are routed to brokers/FIX networks, post-trade allocations flow into the IBOR, the Communication Server message broker pushes trade and position data to custodians, market data vendors, and downstream accounting/regulatory systems, the back office runs daily NAV and fund accounting in the integrated accounting module, Axioma generates portfolio optimization and risk analytics, Coric produces client and regulatory reports, and the Investment Management Warehouse (IMW) feeds BI and analytics tools.
8/10 within global buy-side investment management technology. SimCorp Dimension is one of the two or three default front-to-back platforms, alongside BlackRock Aladdin and the SS&C stack (Eagle PACE + Geneva + Advent), at large asset managers and asset owners globally.
Yes, SimCorp Dimension is the system of record for the entire investment operations data plane at the firms that run it: every trade, every position, every cash movement, every NAV strike, every accounting journal entry, every compliance check, every collateral call, and every regulatory and client report.
Founded in 1971 in Copenhagen, Denmark. SimCorp Dimension launched in the late 1990s as an integrated front-to-back investment management platform and has been the company's flagship for 25+ years.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial SimCorp Dimension API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write SimCorp Dimension data. See the SimCorp Dimension integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/simcorp-dimension-api.
