Case Study: AIMCo cuts costs by CAD 500K annually and strengthens risk management with SimCorp Dimension

Fulfilling Client-Centric Goals With Maximized Risk-Adjusted Returns

AimCo, one of Canada’s largest and most diversified institutional investment managers with around CAD 80 billion in AUM, faced legacy operating systems that could not support its move to more complex, data‑driven investing. To modernize its platform and improve data accuracy and risk reporting, AimCo partnered with SimCorp and implemented SimCorp Dimension as its core operating system.

SimCorp implemented SimCorp Dimension to centralize data management and risk analytics, enabling AimCo to reconcile a single transaction across three accounting frameworks and support more sophisticated investments. The deployment delivered measurable benefits — about CAD 500K in annual cost savings without increasing headcount, improved decision‑making for risk‑adjusted returns, and industry recognition via SimCorp’s 2014 Excellence Award.
