Beacon Front Office Suite

Beacon by Clearwater is a cloud-native, Python-native platform for institutional investment risk, portfolio analytics, and quantitative modelling. It brings trading positions, market data, valuation models, and performance information into one environment so investment professionals can make decisions using consistent calculations. Unlike systems that refresh exclusively overnight, Beacon supports intraday value at risk, profit and loss attribution, stress testing, and scenario analysis across multiple asset classes. Its coverage includes equities, fixed income, foreign exchange, credit, rates, commodities, alternatives, and structured products. Quantitative developers can build, test, version, and deploy proprietary models within an extensible development environment, connecting established libraries and existing systems instead of rebuilding entire technology stacks. Portfolio managers and traders can evaluate proposed trades, review exposures, and monitor portfolio changes during market hours. Insurance firms can assess assets and liabilities together, while banks and investment managers can consolidate analysis across desks and investment strategies. The platform also offers regulatory and investor reporting, elastic cloud computing, and emerging agentic AI tools for model validation and exposure analysis.
