Only 23% of investment managers are able to calculate the impact of market events within the trading day, according to a poll conducted by SimCorp, a provider of investment management solutions.
The study also found that 83% place high importance on the ability to perform intraday calculations from the impact of position driving events such as FX rate, collateral, securities lending, fees and corporate actions.

"It is a concern for the industry that close to 80% of those polled cannot or do not know if they can perform the necessary intraday calculations," comments Duncan Cooper, Director of Business Consulting at Sapient Global Markets.
"The inability to understand the impact of market events on the position of held securities has far-reaching effects such as errors in NAV calculations, inability to optimise collateral, erroneous cash positions, and investor exposures in the event of a market readjustment – all of which inevitably impacts investor confidence. In this continuing climate of increasing regulation and market observation, the IBOR, or the investment book of record, offers capital market firms the opportunity to differentiate from competitors and bolster stakeholder confidence."
"Our clients point to the IBOR to demonstrate the operational controls they have in place when securing new business," comments Marc Schröter, SVP and head of SimCorp’s research and product organization. "The ability to understand and report on the state of the business within the trading day will ultimately distinguish the leaders from the laggards in the industry."
