Case Study: PGGM achieves integrated, automated collateral management and regulatory-ready post-trade processing with SimCorp Dimension (SimCorp)

Taking an Integrated Approach to Collateral Management and Post-trade Processing

PGGM, a Dutch cooperative pension fund service provider managing EUR 259 billion and serving 4.4 million participants, faced increasing regulatory pressures (SFTR, UMR) and operational friction from spreadsheet- and email-based post-trade and collateral workflows. As an existing client of SimCorp using SimCorp Dimension as its Investment Book of Record (IBOR) since 2006, PGGM sought to modernize collateral management and post-trade processing to reduce manual intervention and meet forthcoming reporting and margining requirements.

PGGM chose an integrated approach with SimCorp, extending SimCorp Dimension (plus modules such as Asset Manager, Compliance Manager and Data Warehouse) and integrating with market platforms like AcadiaSoft’s MarginSphere®. SimCorp delivered a customized, agile solution—including support for centrally cleared repos—on time and on budget, retiring manual spreadsheet/email workflows, creating an auditable collateral trail, and enabling PGGM to be the first pension fund service provider to centrally clear repos at EUREX while better positioning the firm for UMR compliance.
