LiquidityBook Redefines Trading Technology Again with Release of LBX PMS 2.0; Accelerates Multi-Asset Capabilities via Acquisition of Messer FS

Bryan Messer joins LiquidityBook as General Manager APAC, Managing Director of Portfolio Management Solutions and AI NEW YORK and HONG KONG and LONDON, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LiquidityBook, a leading provider of cloud-native buy- and sell-side trading solutions, announced today the general availability of LBX PMS 2.0, its newly enhanced Portfolio Management and Accounting System. The addition of in-demand functionality — including robust accounting and reconciliation workflows woven into both the LBX Buy-Side and LBX Sell-Side products, as well as full ABOR/IBOR, AUM and shadow NAV capabilities — has elevated the LBX suite to the definitive Portfolio, Order and Execution Management System (POEMS) with an embedded FIX network, while maintaining the firm's trademark modularity. Clients can continue to utilize any or all components of the stack. Portfolio management functionality has been available via the LBX suite since LiquidityBook's founding in 2005. Since then, the firm has steadily delivered enhancements and new features, driven equally by the team's internal product roadmap and by client request. Functionality such as real-time and historical P&L, compliance reporting, rebalancing workflows, multi-asset/multi-prime capabilities and reconciliations have served as the foundation for LBX PMS 2.0, which has recently been further enhanced by the acquisition of Messer Financial Software, Limited, a boutique capital markets fintech provider renowned for its multi-asset financing automation and reconciliation capabilities. With the addition of new features and the integration of Messer functionality, LiquidityBook has enabled industry-leading capabilities including financing automation for products such as swaps and many credit instruments (e.g., ABS, CDS and loans), and powerful reconciliation tools and dashboards for both buy- and sell-side clients. "Our clients range from startup hedge funds and large, established asset managers to broker-dealers, outsourced trading desks and software vendors," said Jonathan Cross, General Manager, EMEA at LiquidityBook. "With regard to our buy-side clients, and especially newer or smaller funds, time and again we hear their need to shadow their fund admins or manage their own books and records. With this newly enhanced and expanded set of capabilities, our clients can own their data at the source, running full shadow NAV, reconciliation and other processes that asset allocators expect of them." "We've been working together for over a year, and what struck us from the beginning of our partnership was how similar the technology, culture and evolution of the two organizations are," said Bryan Messer, Founder of Messer Financial Software and now General Manager, APAC and Managing Director, Portfolio Management Solutions and Artificial Intelligence at LiquidityBook. "Our functionality is essentially complementary and with both companies following an API-first model, integration was straightforward. We are excited to now be part of LiquidityBook and for the opportunities it offers our combined client base." "LiquidityBook continues to build upon our core value proposition: one code base, every use case," said Kevin Samuel, CEO of LiquidityBook. "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. We are also thrilled to bring aboard Bryan Messer and his team, and are excited to unveil the results of a product integration partnership and work that has been ongoing for over a year. The Messer financing engine fit smoothly into LBX's services-based architecture, enabling a seamless integration. Bringing our firms together was the next logical step in this process."

Microsoft launches digital sustainability guidelines to advance Singapore’s position as a leading innovation hub in Southeast Asia

Today, Microsoft and Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) announced digital sustainability guidelines to accelerate education and awareness among businesses and developers, as they build sustainable applications by design. Created with support from the Green Software Foundation (GSF), the guidelines are part of a global private-public partnership between IMDA and Microsoft that will drive the development of green software solutions by design for a sustainable digital future from Singapore to the world. According to GitHub, developer communities have grown massively, with over 85 million software development projects kickstarted globally in 2022. Meanwhile, findings from the United Nations indicate that the software industry is responsible for nearly three percent of global carbon emissions – almost similar to the aviation industry. As the carbon footprint of the software industry continues to grow alongside the demand for technology in today's digital age, carbon-efficient software that minimizes emissions by design is becoming more crucial than ever. "Nurturing the foundations of a resilient, digitally inclusive future is a shared responsibility. These guidelines represent a collective drive to create a positive impact on the environment, by equipping developers with principles and tools to build applications that are inherently more sustainable. Providing developers with practical means of tracking and reporting emissions ensures that we are not simply embracing sustainability as an aspiration but actively working towards our net-zero targets," said Jeth Lee, Chief Legal Officer, Microsoft Singapore. The digital sustainability guidelines provide educational information and actionable insights for businesses and developers committed to reducing carbon emissions through their work and creating long-term sustainable impact at scale. The guidelines clarify the relationships between hardware and software sustainability principles and measurements. It provides straightforward guidance on integrating energy efficiency, carbon awareness and hardware efficiency into software engineering and development processes. Applying these principles ensures that applications and solutions are energy-efficient and carbon-aware by design. For example, this may include running software testing and updates for an application at a time of day that may draw less power from the grid and consume less embodied carbon. Beyond the applicability of principles, the guidelines also provides tools and solutions to help businesses and developers track, report and reduce carbon emissions or greenhouse gases (GHG) created during the creation, running and maintenance of any application or solution, reducing the embodied carbon, GHG and carbon emissions in their lifespan. Some of these measurement tools and solutions include the GSF's Carbon Aware software development kit (SDK) and the Microsoft Sustainability Manager. "The launch of these guidelines will help advance Singapore's efforts in becoming a leading digital sustainability hub in this region. Greening the ICT sector is important to IMDA and we will continue to work closely with partners such as Microsoft, Green Software Foundation to enable developers and businesses the ability to understand energy efficiency, carbon awareness and green software development. We will continue to drive a positive change to our environment, in Singapore and beyond our shores", said Chee Wei Nga, Director, Emerging Technology Office, BizTech Group, IMDA. "We're focused on impact-first solutions that give makers of software a clear path forward toward decarbonization and energy efficiency. With the Digital Sustainability Guidelines, practitioners have one more informative resource to produce sustainable outcomes," said Asim Hussain, Executive Director and Chairperson of the GSF. The paper will be available from Microsoft here and on the IMDA website and Green Software Foundation. These jointly developed guidelines were applied through the Singapore GreenTech Challenge where developers co-innovated to develop carbon-efficient solutions. Evercomm, WeavAir and ReClimate emerged as winners of the challenge. In collaboration with IMDA, Microsoft diagnosed problems that industries face and crowd-sourced solutions through IMDA's extensive network of start-ups, technology providers, and research institutes. Trialed by winners and participants, the Challenge unveiled an array of new principles and tools enabling organizations to better address today's pressing sustainability issues. Recognizing the urgent need to drive positive climate change for the world's carbon problem, Microsoft is committed to becoming carbon-negative by 2030, and removing all the carbon that the company has emitted directly or through electricity use since its inception in 1975, from the environment.
