Case Study: Achmea achieves scalable, real-time market risk management with SS&C Technologies’ Algorithmics Workspace Analyzer and Portfolio Optimization

Achmea improves market risk management with SS&C Algorithmics Workspace Analyzer and SS&C Algorithmics Portfolio Optimization

Achmea, a Netherlands-based insurer with over 200 billion AUM and 16,000 employees, sought to improve market risk management and Solvency II reporting by running larger, faster simulations, proxying liabilities and aligning with a cloud strategy. To address this, Achmea worked with SS&C Technologies, leveraging the SS&C Algorithmics platform and specifically the SS&C Algorithmics Workspace Analyzer and SS&C Algorithmics Portfolio Optimization.

SS&C Technologies implemented the new Algorithmics ERM architecture—including AWA and APO—and moved it to production in October 2022 after parallel testing. The solution delivers high-performance aggregation, interactive dashboards, cloud-based optimizations and real-time reporting, enabling ad-hoc what-if analyses and stress tests; scalability has been proven (capable of handling a +500% increase in scenarios), empowering Achmea to make faster, risk-informed business decisions beyond mere compliance.
