SimCorp has expanded its data collaboration with MSCI, giving buy-side firms using the SimCorp One investment management platform direct access to MSCI’s private market datasets and managed data collection services.
The partnership provides SimCorp clients with fund, asset, and deal-level private market data embedded directly within the platform, addressing longstanding challenges around fragmented disclosure and inconsistent reporting in private markets.

Users will also be able to use MSCI’s managed service for automated document collection and data management, including transaction data, to streamline workflows for fund financial documents.
The services are underpinned by MSCI’s private capital datasets and benchmarks covering nearly 28,000 funds and funds-of-funds across all private asset classes, including historical holdings, performance data and cash flow profiles.
“Despite the rise of AI technology, many clients are still searching for turnkey solutions that remove complexity from private market operations,” said Hugues Chabanis, head of SimCorp Alternatives.
“In their perpetual quest for efficiency, this continued collaboration with MSCI delivers exactly that, acting as an extension of their operations teams to handle everything from document processing to capital calls and reporting.”
The integration forms part of SimCorp’s broader partner ecosystem strategy, aimed at improving data connectivity, reducing adoption costs and accelerating time-to-value while limiting vendor lock-in.
Luke Flemmer, head of private assets at MSCI, explained: “By embedding MSCI data, indexes, and analytics into SimCorp One, we are equipping investors with powerful tools to better manage complexity, address regulatory demands, and drive better outcomes.”
