No. 01The Coverage Gap

The question is not who performs.
It is whether the entire book is covered.

Across 380 professionals and $1.4B in advised volume, the real exposure is whether every relationship is served, every account stays inside the firm's fiduciary standard, and operational risk surfaces while it is still small.

Risk 01

The quiet 80 percent

Attention flows to the largest accounts. The rest drift, and both revenue and fiduciary exposure compound quietly month after month.

Risk 02

Documentation debt

Reg BI and Form CRS demand proof that the advice fit the client. Hand-built files do not scale past a few hundred professionals.

Risk 03

Disconnected systems

Several custodians, separate tools and no single picture of where the firm actually stands on any given morning.

No. 05The Oversight Grid

Oversight that protects the firm.

Fiduciary

Reg BI & Form CRS

Documentation that proves the advice fit the client, written automatically at scale. The hardest standard to satisfy by hand, handled by default.

Fee Accounts

Reverse-Churning Watch

Flags fee-based accounts with too little activity to justify the fee, before an examiner finds them first.

Markets

Trade Surveillance

Suitability under FINRA 2111, employee-trading monitoring, front-running detection and restricted-list enforcement.

Records

Books and Records

Every message, trade, approval and review held to the 17a-4 standard. Examination-ready across roughly 46,000 transactions a year.

No. 09The Firm

Built by operators, for operators.

Beacons Strategic Capital was founded by Adrian Calloway and Marcus Wren to build the software, oversight and security layer that capital firms actually run on: registered advisers, broker-dealers, private funds and family offices.

"Regulation never stops moving. A firm deserves a partner that builds the risk framework and holds the line on security at the same time."
