Our Founder Bryan Messer started Messer because he saw the mismatch between the amount of investment made by financial professionals into technologies in the market and the amount of investment still required for their own technology. Expensive systems are often augmented by spreadsheets and do not take into account local regulatory and operational risks outside of the US. In 2013, as a CTO of a large hedge fund in Hong Kong, Bryan identified this pain point and set out to help investment professionals invest proportionately in their own technology not by increasing spend, but by increasing quality and flexibility. At Messer, we provide state-of-the-art order management, portfolio management, and reconciliation systems that streamline workflow and understand localised risks such as restricted currencies, ID markets and QFII for investing and operation professionals from the buy-side, such as hedge funds, asset managers, family offices and private equity firms. We do this to create a work paradigm where workers spend 90% of their time making and executing decisions and only 10% time automating the rest, at 0% of the risks.
