BarmeniaGothaer Completes Front-to-Back Investment Platform Overhaul with Bloomberg and Clearwater — Clearwater Analytics Holdings, Inc.

Event summary

BarmeniaGothaer Asset Management AG, a top 10 German insurance asset manager with €50B+ in AUM, has fully integrated Bloomberg’s buy-side solutions and Clearwater Analytics’ middle- and back-office platform.
The merger of Barmenia and Gothaer in 2024 triggered the need to unify two distinct technology environments, leading to this front-to-back investment transformation.
Clearwater’s cloud-native platform will serve as the new foundation for accounting, reconciliation, regulatory reporting, performance, compliance, and risk capabilities across public and private assets.
Bloomberg’s solutions, including AIM as the Investment Book of Record (IBOR) and PORT Enterprise for risk and attribution analysis, will provide a holistic view across the portfolio.

The big picture

The move reflects a broader industry trend among large insurers to consolidate fragmented investment systems into cloud-native, AI-driven platforms. With €50B+ in AUM, BarmeniaGothaer’s transformation highlights the strategic imperative for asset managers to enhance transparency, automation, and scalability in response to dynamic capital markets and regulatory pressures. The collaboration between Bloomberg and Clearwater underscores the growing demand for best-in-class, end-to-end investment solutions.
