January 15, 2025 – NEW YORK – Beacon Platform is delighted to announce its recognition in the Chartis BuySide50 report, securing a top 25 placement. The report highlights Beacon’s performance and expertise in buy-side risk management architecture, positioning the company as a leading provider of innovative solutions that are customizable for many types of investment products and asset managers.

In a volatile and evolving investment landscape, asset managers need the ability to leverage a broad range of investment instruments to hit their risk/return targets. This demands a core technology platform that rivals those of the major banks and brokers in scale and scope, including high-volume time-series data ingestion, scalable backtesting, and high-capacity “what-if” analysis. But with the ease-of-use and customizability of spreadsheets, and supportable while operating with much smaller technology teams.

“Beacon’s top 25 position reflects the strength of its development environment, which enables buy-side organizations to build sophisticated, comprehensive trade management and analytics platforms,” said Sidhartha Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis.

Beacon Platform’s success in the BuySide50 report showcases its commitment to delivering a customizable risk management platform that can adapt to complex instruments. For example, defining the varying contract terms and lifecycle evolution of private credit instruments that are resulting from ongoing structural changes in the credit market. Investment analysts and portfolio managers get accurate and timely views of their risk and exposure across all assets at any level, from custom books to the firm’s total portfolio.
