So far, 2018 has been very profitable for Simcorp. In August, the company's share price reached a record high of DKK 579 (EUR 78), having started this year at DKK 351.

The strong financial performance in the second quarter is not the only success for Simcorp this year. On 18 June, it was listed on Denmark's C25 equity index, a capped index of the most-traded shares on the Danish market.

"When we were listed on large cap about two years ago, it was amazing. In the meantime, some of the largest financial institutions in the world have chosen our products, and we have increased our value significantly. Needless to say, we're extremely proud," Klaus Holse, Simcorp's CEO, wrote in an email to AMWatch's siter site ITWatch.
