Chartis Research, the leading provider of research and analysis on the global market for risk technology, has named Beacon Platform as the best quant management framework in their inaugural STORM50 rankings. Exploring the growing importance of algorithmic engineering in the financial services industry, the STORM50 analysis examines leading providers of statistical techniques, optimization frameworks, and risk models. The report uses multiple lenses, categories, and classifications to make sense of the broad range of options available.
“In our research, and our interactions with financial institutions, vendors and consultants, we have sensed a growing demand for a ranking that focuses on the computational infrastructure and algorithmic efficiency of the vast array of technology tools used across the financial services industry,” said Sid Dash, Research Director at Chartis.
The Chartis STORM50 report provides a detailed look at the evolution of models and analytics within financial services, and the technology building blocks that are enabling these innovations. “Within the broader trends that are shaping the evolution and development of algorithms, three main technology drivers stand out,” according to the Chartis report. Briefly, these three are:
- Hardware and computation
- Mathematically friendly languages
- Open-source tools
“In some ways, in fact, the ideal configuration is a combination of databases, classical middleware and emergent hardware stitched together by an efficient quantitative framework based on a computationally ‘friendly’ programming language,” according to Chartis.
“Beacon is proud to have been named by Chartis as the 2021 winner of the quant management framework category,” said Kirat Singh, CEO and Co-Founder of Beacon Platform. “Beacon’s combination of enterprise-scale cloud computing, modern data warehouse, collaborative developer tools, next generation quant technology, and transparent source license are a leading example of this ideal configuration.”
