Liquidity When It Matters Most

DAM is a proprietary trading firm with deep expertise in global macro trading and investing. Today’s markets are more interconnected than ever—yet also more fragmented, complex, and vulnerable to shocks from geopolitical events, cyber threats, and natural disasters.

When institutional investors need to transfer risk, they require a counterparty that is reliable in every market environment—supported by resilient technology that performs even when others falter.

At DAM, we are engineered to thrive in complexity. Our culture is rooted in meritocracy and defined by our drive to tackle the toughest challenges in global markets—solve them first, win decisively, and repeat.

We are a team of technologists and institutional traders committed to strengthening the role of fair, transparent capital markets in global society. Our edge lies in transforming complex ideas into structured, executable trades.

DAM is a Cayman Islands–headquartered financial institution regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. As a proprietary trading firm, we trade exclusively with DAM’s capital, at our own risk. We do not manage external funds, custody assets, or act as brokers, fiduciaries, or agents.

Our background spans global macro trading across asset classes—including equities, fixed income, commodities, foreign exchange, and derivatives. DAM has pioneered liquidity provision and market making in niche asset classes and emerging markets where others hesitate.

With an average of 25+ years of experience in institutional trading and financial technology among our founders and managing directors, DAM is recognized as a trusted counterparty for liquidity and risk transfer in complex and underserved markets.

Who We Are

  • With team members based across the Americas and the Caribbean, DAM brings deep regional expertise and a significant edge in Latin American markets—particularly in FX and commodities.

    If you are a financial institution or commodity trading firm seeking access to our liquidity, we invite you to contact us.

  • To be the fastest and most reliable source of liquidity in the markets we serve—trusted by counterparties who demand excellence. To continue our legacy of pioneering innovation in cyber-secure financial technology that institutions can rely on when it matters most—and when no one else can deliver.

  • DAM was founded in 2010 in the United States by two brothers and traders, David Dorr and Brian Dorr. As the firm’s global trading operations rapidly expanded, DAM relocated its headquarters to the Cayman Islands in 2012.

    In 2017, DAM became the first regulated entity to establish operations within the Cayman Islands Special Economic Zone. It was also the first to secure regulatory licenses for commodities and derivatives trading under the zone’s dedicated financial innovation framework.

    Since its founding, DAM has remained focused on advancing institutional trading through speed, precision, and resilience—serving as a trusted counterparty in complex and evolving markets.

  • DAM enhances global market liquidity, transparency, and stability. As a proprietary trading firm built on cutting-edge technology and global macro expertise, DAM is committed to strengthening capital markets for the benefit of all participants.

  • DAM acts as a direct counterparty to financial institutions and multinational corporations worldwide. All trading is conducted on a principal basis—buying and selling a range of asset classes with DAM’s own capital.

    This structure eliminates the risk, cost, and opacity often associated with intermediaries. DAM does not charge fees or commissions; every price quoted reflects the firm’s net price to buy or sell the asset.

  • DAM leverages its proprietary technology stack to accelerate the clearing and settlement of trades. In many cases, DAM reduces the traditional industry standard of T+2 to same-day settlement (T+0), enabling faster risk transfer and improved capital efficiency.

What We Do

DAM provides institutional counterparties worldwide with deep liquidity, competitive pricing, and accelerated clearing and settlement. The firm owns and controls its entire technology stack—from trading systems to banking infrastructure.

With deep expertise in market structure and cross-border regulatory frameworks, DAM generates proprietary liquidity in complex and often fragmented markets—enabling seamless risk transfer across a wide range of conditions.

Strategic Investments

Adaptation to complexity is core to DAM’s identity. As a firm rooted in pioneering capital markets technology, DAM is a vision-driven strategic investor in companies and intellectual property that align with its mission.

Unlike traditional venture capital firms bound by investor mandates and exit timelines, DAM invests its own capital—patiently and with focus. These investments are closely tied to advancements in DAM’s core trading business and are informed by directional global macro views, allowing the firm to capture asymmetric opportunities not easily expressed through conventional financial instruments.
