All of us can read from the same book of record at the same time. This is huge - it allows us to make better investment decisions for our clients. Ultimately the main beneficiaries of the SimCorp IBOR are BMO Global Asset Management's clients."

"While many in the industry continue to debate the merits of the IBOR, BMO Asset Management is a step ahead and has substantiated the value of having a single book of record for the firm's clients," notes Klaus Holse, CEO at SimCorp. "The IBOR's ability to support exposure and performance measurement in near real-time is a key differentiator for institutional asset managers who have to demonstrate the risk controls in place when pitching for new clients. We are pleased that SimCorp was selected to provide our IBOR solution to a world class organization like BMO Global Asset Management."
