Case Study: Ilmarinen achieves improved risk control and operational efficiency with Misys FusionInvest

Ilmarinen executes alpha strategy and improves risk control firm-wide

Ilmarinen, Finland’s second-largest pension service provider, needed a more flexible way to build and run an in-house alpha strategy using complex instruments such as OTC derivatives, FX and commodities. Its legacy systems could not provide the pricing, valuation, reporting, and risk analytics required, so Ilmarinen turned to Misys and Misys FusionInvest to support the new fund.

Misys FusionInvest was implemented to integrate front-, middle-, and back-office processes, improve straight-through processing, and deliver transparent pricing, reporting, and aggregated risk management across portfolios. The results included lower manual effort and headcount needs, reduced errors and operational risk, stronger compliance reporting, and real-time visibility into firm-wide risk; over time, Misys FusionInvest was rolled out across Ilmarinen’s broader fund range.
