Manaos’ and Sequantis’ users will have access to a suite of self-services and managed services to harmonize their asset managers’ fund inventories for full breakdown of their portfolios, calculate SCR, climate risks and create Tripartite Templates (TPTs).

The service brings together Manaos, a powerful platform for handling high volumes of complex data, and, Sequantis, through a highly skilled quantitative team and R&D department able to manage new regulations.

With this partnership, clients have the opportunity to reduce costs by mutualising data treatment, improve quality of reports, engage transverse teams around the use of the platform, and improve time to market for regulations evolution.

In practice, clients can delegate operations to Sequantis which will manage them on their behalf, or access to a hands-on experience to manage inventory collection and computation monitoring directly from Manaos’ interface for maximum flexibility and control.

Beyond look-through and SCR calculation features, the partnership also provides climate stress pilot exercises, including ACPR (Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution) 2023-R-01 and on-demand features such as ad-hoc reports including other Quantitative Reporting Templates (QRTs), Basel reports, customised outputs to Solvency II software, and even access to SCR simulation tool on Sequantis web application.

Nicolas Fournier, CEO of Sequantis, said: "Enabling investment portfolio look-through brings on two challenges: collecting all asset managers files on time and ensuring that the data is of high quality and, above all, consistent. The association of Manaos, for TPT collection, and Sequantis, for the quality and consistency of the data, provides a comprehensive response to asset owners, ultimately allowing a precise computation of the SCR or climate risk."

Franck Delbès, CEO of Manaos, added: "Sequantis is a well-recognised regtech for its cutting-edge analytics and risk services. We are very proud of this partnership to provide solvency capital calculation capacity to our clients, fully leveraging our look-through capacity. It is a key milestone in our journey to extend the scope of our services from extra financial to financial and risk data and reporting services to institutional investors, ensuring they efficiently manage regulatory and reputational risk.”
