Case Study: Lupus alpha achieves automated, accurate and scalable front-office operations with SimCorp Dimension

Satisfying client demands with a flexible front office solution

Lupus alpha, a Frankfurt-based asset manager, was struggling to scale after growing to roughly 2,000 trades per day: front-office work relied on error-prone spreadsheets, lacked front-to-back data synchronization, and strained IT and compliance processes. Facing regulatory pressure and the inability to grow trading volumes or support new asset classes, Lupus alpha reassessed its investment management system and selected SimCorp’s integrated solution (SimCorp Dimension, including the Front Office Suite and IBOR).

SimCorp implemented an integrated Front Office Suite and market-leading IBOR to deliver real-time, single-source investment data, straight-through processing and powerful simulation and compliance checks. The change automated front-office workflows, cut manual processing from over 30% to under 5% of staff time, sped client onboarding to under a week, enabled new asset classes and higher volumes without adding headcount, and materially reduced operational risk and costs.
