London, New York, Singapore, 22 November 2023 – Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC), the specialist UK pension insurer, has chosen FINBOURNE Technology to provide investment data management capabilities, to help drive their data strategy.
Following an in-depth market review, PIC, who manage a portfolio of ~£45 billion and provide guaranteed pensions to over 300,000 people in the UK, will use FINBOURNE’s cloud-native financial data management platform, LUSID, and specialist financial data virtualization engine, Luminesce. The solution will enable PIC to consolidate private asset, ESG, market, reference, pricing, analytics, ratings and trading data from multiple sources into a single view, streamlining operational processes.
Improved data accuracy and availability across the enterprise
FINBOURNE’s flexible, API-first data management capabilities will enable a seamless migration to a standardised data model. The solution will increase accessibility and provide timely access to data across a wide range of enterprise users, giving them confidence in data quality and accuracy.
The scalable platform will adapt and integrate with new and complex data sets, providing the foundation for more accurate and transparent financial reporting. It will also help drive their purposeful investment strategy, to meet the evolving needs of their expanding stakeholder and policyholder base.
Streamlined data consolidation across internal and external sources
PIC will leverage FINBOURNE’s off the shelf integrations to key external sources and providers, to help consolidate and validate multiple data sets. PIC will be able to consolidate data, applying complex rules based on multiple fields and sources, to automatically validate data from internal and external sources. This includes private markets and fixed income data within the organisation, as well as securities master data, ESG, pricing, transactions, positions and cash balances from external data providers.
With a streamlined data flow across the enterprise, PIC will capture clear data lineage and improve end-to-end transparency, to drive data-driven investment decisions.
Angela Pearce, Chief Data Officer at Pension Insurance Corporation comments: “Our purpose is to pay the pensions of our current and future policyholders, and a robust data strategy is critical to achieving this. By selecting FINBOURNE’s data management solution, we are confident that we will drive our investment strategy forward, with an enhanced platform supporting our operations, now and in the future.”
