The offering uses natural language for stress testing, a tool used by portfolio and risk managers to understand how their investment portfolios may perform under extreme but plausible market conditions. 

At a time when geopolitical and other events have roiled markets, this is an example of how AI could help wealth managers to manage portfolios more effectively. The SimCorp offering is an example of the kind of use cases proliferating in AI. 

“Accelerating stress testing workflows can be a game changer for investment teams,” Ian Lumb, head of risk and performance product management at SimCorp, said. “When stress test configuration takes hours, risk teams cannot respond to events in real time. We are removing that bottleneck with AI-powered stress testing.”
