Arcesium, a global financial technology provider serving institutional investors, has acquired Stockholm-based Limina, a provider of portfolio and order management systems.
By combining Limina’s P/OMS with Arcesium’s middle- and back-office capabilities, Arcesium says it is creating a full front-to-back operating platform designed to reduce fragmentation across the investment lifecycle and connect siloed data for asset managers, hedge funds, and asset owners.
Arcesium said the acquisition is intended to expand its platform into front-office workflows while strengthening its ability to deliver a connected, modular model that supports multi-asset operations and data-driven decision-making. The company positioned Limina’s cloud-native architecture and multi-asset coverage as a strong technical fit alongside Arcesium’s enterprise data management and post-trade technology, with the combined offering designed to improve scalability, intraday visibility, and workflow consistency across global markets.
As part of the transaction, the entire Limina team will join Arcesium and contribute to product development. Limina CEO Kristoffer Fürst will join Arcesium and report to Bryan Dougherty, Arcesium’s President, Product and Technology. Arcesium also said the deal supports its international growth strategy, including deeper penetration in Europe, following the opening of a Hong Kong office in January 2026 and the addition of a Lisbon office in 2024.
Support: Advisers on the transaction included OPCO Advisory Services for Arcesium and Zelig Associates for Limina.
