Automated regulatory reporting for asset managers and insurance companies: LPA cooperates with RegTech specialist Acarda

LPA , one of the world’s leading developers and consultants for technology-based capital market solutions (CapTech), is cooperating with RegTech specialist Acarda from April 2020. Acarda has developed its “arep” platform, a software as a service (SasS) solution that is highly relevant for asset managers, fund administrators and insurance companies. LPA customers can now take advantage of an offer which provides automated end-to-end handling of statutory reporting such as Solvency II, CRR, AIFMD, PRIIPs and MiFID II. The central data management and reporting software meets all security and business contingency requirements. All data and reports can be accessed and distributed via browsers and sFTP.  

In the first step of the cooperation, the LPA Group is providing acarda with international market access through its eleven international locations. The LPA Group has over 300 of the world’s largest banks as its customers and supports them with CapTech solutions and consulting services to transform their capital market business. Thanks to cooperation with acarda, LPA customers can now also cover their data and reporting activities in asset management or insurance from a single source.  

In the medium term, the LPA Group plans to combine Aacarda’s expertise with the technical capabilities of its own CapTech offerings to provide clients with the best possible automated regulatory and data management support. By linking to the multi-award-winning LPA CapTech Suite, Acarda and the LPA Group intend to successively develop their range of products.  

Stefan Lucht, co-founder and managing partner at LPA: “Working with acarda, we are now able to offer integrated reporting solutions to our customers, and also reach new customer groups in the form of asset managers and insurance companies. We look forward to combining acarda’s in-depth expertise in regulatory reporting with LPA’s CapTech know-how in future product innovations and translating that into a holistic offering.  

Gerhard Jovy, managing director of Acarda GmbH: “Cooperation with the LPA Group offers us the unique opportunity to roll out our global-ready products on the international stage and to supplement them with further regulatory reports. We are looking forward to taking this opportunity and sharing our portfolio.
