Investment Banks. Beacon’s precursors include the proprietary platforms at some of the largest and most successful financial institutions in the world: SecDB at Goldman Sachs, Athena at JP Morgan, and Quartz at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Leveraging our experience in building and deploying these platforms, we designed Beacon to provide the right balance of rigorous controls needed in today’s regulatory environment and the flexibility needed to run a dynamic, quantitatively-focused market-making business. Unlike most vendors, who offer “black boxes” that cannot be extended on demand, we give clients access to our source code so that they can respond to business needs quickly in a controlled, collaborative, and scalable environment.
