Buy-Side Operations: Cutting through Complexity

In Q1 of 2018 SimCorp commissioned WBR Insights to conduct a survey of 100 Heads of Investment Operations based in Europe. The research prioritised firms on the buy side, including asset management firms and institutional investors. Respondents to the survey were Directors and Heads of Investment Operations, Heads of Derivatives Operations, Heads of Securities Operations as well as others of an equal standing. The survey was conducted by appointment over the telephone. The results were compiled and anonymised by the WBR Insights research team, and are presented here with analysis and commentary from the industry experts at SimCorp.
