Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, American Century Investments replaced
its legacy accounting platform with SimCorp Dimension to support expansion of
the firm's institutional and international business. 'After two years in
production, the investment operations team has greatly benefited from the
operational efficiency SimCorp offers,' notes Merele May, Senior Vice
President, Investment Operations at American Century Investments. 'However, the
real winners are our portfolio managers who are confident they have a system in
the back office that will support any new client or product they bring to the
table.' 

American Century Investments has realised numerous benefits from implementing
SimCorp Dimension, including: 

  --  Support of firm's investment strategy which has resulted in growth of
     assets under management from $88 to $118 billion
  -- Reduction in time to market for new securities
  -- Ability to manage 286 portfolios with a lean team of five accountants and a
     manager
  -- Centralisation of position-keeping provides a single authoritative source
     of data for accurate positions, cash projections, performance calculations
     and reporting

'Firms like American Century Investments are true innovators in the use of
technology to fuel growth and inspire investor confidence,' comments David
Kubersky, Managing Director, SimCorp North America. 'This asset manager did not
wait for something to 'break' before deciding to examine the very
infrastructure that supports the firm's solvency. By creating a central
repository of critical financial data, American Century Investments is in the
enviable position to respond expediently to any change in the market.' 

American Century Investments consolidates all position data in SimCorp
Dimension and uses the platform's integrated functionality for portfolio
accounting, performance measurement and client reporting.
