Urdorf, 6 March 2018 | HM Trust AG (HMT) is strengthening its portfolio and risk management with XENTIS from Profidata. The asset manager, which belongs to the HanseMerkur Insurance Group, is using the Swiss provider's investment management solution to standardise both its internal work processes in portfolio and risk management and its external trading and coordination channels.

With the completion of the implementation project, HMT has succeeded in significantly optimising its investment processes, particularly in the front and middle office, and making them more efficient. The availability of up-to-date portfolio data in the XENTIS front office, which continuously takes into account all events such as trading transactions, corporate actions and price changes (IBOR), proved to be a central cornerstone of the successful implementation.

HMT manages the mandates with the help of model portfolios and overlays, which, among other things, ensure compliance with fund price floors, whereby the net asset values are subjected to stress tests in simulations using various market scenarios. For optimal exposure management, HMT uses the XENTIS Excel module to map the quantitative model, which enables simple and efficient data exchange between XENTIS and Excel. All trading decisions undergo pre-trade compliance checks before being automatically transferred to order routing. The Bloomberg EMSX and TSOX trading platforms are connected via FIX, while communication with brokers, CSDs and custodians is primarily handled via SWIFT. HMT also uses the XENTIS reporting module and the XENTIS Data Warehouse for high-quality, customised reporting.

When asked about the choice of XENTIS, Raik Mildner, CEO of HM Trust AG and member of the Executive Board of the HanseMerkur Insurance Group, explained:
"The implementation and expansion of our business model requires a modern and flexible software solution. After evaluating a number of alternative systems, we therefore decided on XENTIS as the central application for HMT's investment management. The excellent partnership during the project and the successful implementation within the budget constraints confirm our impression that, in XENTIS and Profidata, we have found not only the right solution but also the right partner."

"At Profidata, we are delighted that XENTIS meets HMT's complex portfolio and risk management requirements thanks to its broad functionality and high configurability. With HMT, we are successfully continuing our sustainable growth course in the asset management and insurance market segment."
said Roger Wildi, CEO of Profidata AG, who is delighted to welcome HM Trust AG as another renowned asset manager.
