Expanding our distribution in Germany required a reporting setup we could rely on from day one. SolvencyAnalytics enabled us to meet the specific requirements of German savings banks without building internal infrastructure or adding dedicated local resources.
Head of Institutional Distribution, global asset manager
Client & Goal
A global asset manager expanding its institutional fund distribution in Germany needed to establish CRR, GroMiKV, and KVG-Schnittstellenreporting for German savings banks and related counterparties. The objective was to enable scalable market access while streamlining the reporting process, improving data quality, and reducing manual coordination across multiple stakeholders.
The client was looking for an efficient operating model that would support ongoing reporting obligations in Germany without requiring additional internal infrastructure or building in-house resources for local regulatory reporting.
Challenge
A key challenge during onboarding was coordinating a broad set of internal and external stakeholders across CRR, GroMiKV, and KVG-Schnittstellenreporting — including internal and external data preparation teams, financial.com, WM Daten, the CRR auditor, and the direct alignment of acceptance criteria with German savings banks.
In addition, the strict validation rules across the KVG-Schnittstelle demanded exceptionally high data coverage and robust fallback logic. These validation and mapping rules had to be carefully aligned with both the client and their investors to ensure reporting consistency, accuracy, and compliance with German and European regulatory requirements.
Solution
SolvencyAnalytics implemented a comprehensive managed service that included:
- Interface setup to multiple data sources, including fund administrators, WM Daten, and other relevant providers.
- CRR analytics as well as GroMiKV and KVG field mapping to ensure accurate and consistent data alignment across all reporting requirements.
- Filing through financial.com’s KVG interface and WM Daten, including the management of all validation feedback and stakeholder follow-up.
- Coordination of attestations with the CRR auditor to ensure ongoing compliance.
- Alignment of analytics and report content across CRR, GroMiKV, and KVG-Schnittstellenreporting to ensure consistency across all reporting outputs.
Results
The client launched ongoing CRR, GroMiKV, and KVG-Schnittstellenreporting across multiple German counterparties through a scalable reporting framework operated end-to-end by SolvencyAnalytics, supporting the client’s institutional fund distribution in Germany.
By leveraging SolvencyAnalytics’ managed service, the client avoided building internal reporting infrastructure and did not need to build in-house specialist capacity to manage German reporting obligations. Operational involvement was significantly reduced, with SolvencyAnalytics coordinating reporting workflows, validation feedback, CRR attestations, and investor queries directly.
This provides the client with a reliable and scalable reporting setup for the German market while giving German savings bank investors confidence that all applicable European and national regulatory requirements are fully met — a critical foundation for the client’s continued expansion ambitions in Germany.
