Sony Life Selects SimCorp to Modernize Investment Platform and Strengthen Data Oversight
SimCorp, a global leader in financial technology, today announced that Sony Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (“Sony Life”), has selected SimCorp One as its core investment management platform, helping the insurer reduce complexity in its investment infrastructure.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Sony Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Financial Group. With approximately JPY 17 trillion in total assets as of the end of March 2026, Sony Life will use SimCorp One as its front-to-back investment infrastructure. The platform will provide its investment teams with centralized, real-time data and cutting-edge capabilities across the investment lifecycle, supporting Sony Life’s business requirements.
SimCorp One addresses key challenges facing insurers in the region, including increasing regulatory complexity, the need for operational efficiency, and demand for integrated solutions that support both public and private market investments. The platform’s unified data layer strengthens governance, auditability, and data integrity, while supporting Japan-specific accounting standards, including J-GAAP and IFRS.
“We are proud to partner with Sony Life,” said Edward Bee, Senior Managing Director, Head of APAC at SimCorp. “SimCorp One’s unified data layer delivers real-time insights, helping Sony Life make better decisions and operate with confidence.”
The platform will be deployed in Microsoft Azure data centers in Japan to meet local data residency, regulatory, and audit requirements. Delivery and ongoing support will combine SimCorp’s global expertise with strong local capabilities through its Japanese distribution and implementation partner, NS Solutions Corporation.
