Investment management and risk software for insurance institutions
Conning is a century-old investment management firm serving insurance companies and institutional investors across asset management, risk modeling, and pension solutions. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-centric (Azure, Office 365, Teams, SharePoint) with Bloomberg and SimCorp Dimension for core trading and portfolio management — typical of traditional asset management shops. Active infrastructure modernization projects (disaster recovery, hybrid cloud, infrastructure-as-code) paired with a Workday adoption signal operational maturity work underway; the finance and data hiring mix reflects scaling for reporting automation and client data delivery rather than product engineering.
Founded in 1912, Conning provides investment solutions, risk modeling software, and research to insurance companies, pension funds, and institutional investors globally. The firm operates investment centers across Asia, Europe, and North America and is part of the Generali Group. Core offerings span liability-driven investing, investment accounting and reporting, and risk analytics. The current project portfolio centers on modernizing reporting infrastructure, implementing new financial systems (Workday), and hardening disaster recovery and business continuity — operational priorities reflecting a legacy-heavy business moving toward cloud-hybrid operations.
Conning's primary stack is Microsoft (Azure, Microsoft 365, Office, Teams, SharePoint, Exchange) supplemented by Bloomberg, SimCorp Dimension, SQL, and VBA for trading and portfolio analytics. The company is adopting Workday for financial operations.
Active projects include Workday financials implementation, disaster recovery modernization, infrastructure-as-code for hybrid environments, device lifecycle automation, and streamlining data extraction for client reporting and research delivery.
