Clearwater Analytics, a comprehensive technology platform for investment management, announced it has completed its acquisition of Beacon Platform, a provider of enterprise risk analytics and developer infrastructure. The deal enhances Clearwater’s capabilities in complex portfolio management across public and private markets, including structured products, private credit, and derivatives.
Strategic Rationale: For years, institutional investors have faced a tradeoff between advanced analytics and operational efficiency, navigating legacy systems, endless manual processes, and disconnected data. And these fragmented environments slow down decision-making, elevate risk, and obscure a clear, consolidated view of portfolios.
Clearwater is addressing this by integrating Beacon’s cross-asset risk modeling with front-office capabilities and alternative asset intelligence from the acquisitions of Enfusion and Blackstone’s Bistro platform, respectively. Clearwater will offer a unified platform that spans the full investment lifecycle, from trading and modeling to accounting and regulatory reporting.
This single architecture eliminates silos across the front, middle, and back office, providing real-time data, transparency, and scale for institutional investors operating across public and private markets. And the platform will enable clients to act on insights in near real-time, without legacy software and infrastructure constraints.
Beacon’s Modular Infrastructure: Beacon’s modular infrastructure offers real-time analytics, scenario modeling, and custom development environments are used by some of the world’s most sophisticated asset managers and banks, including PIMCO, Blackstone, hedge funds, and energy and commodities traders. And once integrated, these capabilities will support next-generation solutions for portfolio construction, risk management, and stress testing, fully embedded within the Clearwater platform.
KEY QUOTES:
“With Beacon, we’ve expanded our platform to deliver end-to-end support across the entire investment lifecycle—from front-office modeling to middle- and back-office operations. Together, along with Enfusion and Bistro, we’re transforming a fragmented industry landscape with a unified platform built for today’s institutional investors—streamlining complexity, accelerating decision-making, and driving performance across public and private markets.”
Sandeep Sahai, Chief Executive Officer at Clearwater
“Beacon’s mission has always been to bring transparency and control to the most complex parts of financial markets. By joining Clearwater, we can now deliver these capabilities at scale. Together, we’re helping investors move beyond reporting to real-time action, with the infrastructure global institutions need to succeed.”
Kirat Singh, President, Risk & Performance at Clearwater and former CEO and Co-Founder of Beacon
