The enhancements arrive after the acquisition of Messer Financial Software, a boutique capital markets fintech known for its multi-asset financing automation and reconciliation capabilities. “This newly enhanced and expanded set of capabilities allows our clients to own their data at the source, running full shadow NAV, reconciliation and other processes that asset allocators expect of them,” said Jonathan Cross, General Manager, EMEA at LiquidityBook.

Bryan Messer, Founder of Messer Financial Software, who is now the GM, APAC and Managing Director, Portfolio Management Solutions and Artificial Intelligence at LiquidityBook, highlighted the synergistic fit between the two companies. “Our functionality is essentially complementary, and with both companies following an API-first model, integration was straightforward,” he said.
Kevin Samuel, CEO of LiquidityBook, underscored the strategic importance of this development. “Our modular POEMS and FIX network architecture means our clients’ tech stacks can integrate various vendor and homegrown products, enabling differentiated, customized solutions and workflows,” he explained. “Bringing our firms together was the next logical step in this process.”
