Liquidity When It Matters Most

DAM is a proprietary trading firm with deep roots in global macro trading and investing. On one hand, markets are the most connected they have ever been in human history. On the other hand, they are also the most fragmented, most complex, and most vulnerable to extreme volatility caused by geopolitics, cyber attacks, and natural disasters.

When institutional investors need to transfer risk they need a skilled counterparty that's always there for them in all market conditions with robust technology that works when other market systems fail.

Our firm's DNA is built to thrive in complexity. DAM ethos is built on a meritocracy of confronting the biggest challenges in markets and being the first to solve them and win. And then do it again.

We are a team of technologists and institutional traders committed to enhancing the benefits that fair and transparent capital markets provide to society. We excel at transforming complex ideas into executable trades.

DAM is a financial institution headquartered in Cayman Islands and regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. As a proprietary trading firm we trade only DAM's capital at our risk. We do not have any clients or external investors. DAM does not manage, custody, broker, or execute trades on behalf of others nor act in any fiduciary capacities.

We have a deep background in global macro trading across multiple asset classes including equities, fixed income, commodities, FX, and derivatives. DAM has pioneered market making and liquidity provisioning in niche asset classes and emerging markets.

With an average of 25+ years experience in institutional trading and technology by our founders and managing directors, DAM enjoys a reputation as the go-to counterparty for liquidity and risk transfer in niche markets.

Who We Are

  • With team members across the Americas and Caribbean DAM enjoys a substantial edge in trading LATAM markets, especially FX and commodities. If you're a financial institution or commodity trading firm interested in accessing our liquidity please contact us.

  • To be the fastest and most reliable source of liquidity in the markets we trade to counterparties that demand excellence. To continue our legacy of pioneering innovation in cyber secure financial technology that financial institutions can depend on when it really counts and when no one else can deliver.

  • DAM was founded in 2010 by two traders and brothers David Dorr and Brian Dorr in the United States. DAM moved its headquarters to Cayman Islands in 2012 as its global trading rapidly expanded. In addition to being regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, DAM was the first regulated entity to move into Cayman Island's new special economic zone in 2017 and obtain licenses for commodities and derivatives trading within the special economic zone's commodities and derivatives park.

    Today in a fast moving world dominated by advancements in AI and quantum computing as well the quickly evolving economy in space, DAM is committed to leading the way through speed and innovation.

  • We make global markets more liquid, transparent, and stable. As a proprietary trading firm, with a background deploying bleeding edge technology, DAM is committed to improving capital markets for all participants.

  • DAM serves as a counterparty to financial institutions and multinational companies around the world. We buy and sell an array of asset classes on a direct principal basis. This gives our counterparties peace of mind knowing they are not taking the risk and costs associated with intermediaries. DAM does not charge any fees or commissions. Every price provided to a counterparty by DAM represents the net price at which DAM is willing to buy or sell a given asset.

  • As a leader in financial technology, DAM uses its proprietary tech stack to speed up clearing and settlement of trades. Often DAM is able to take the traditional industry standard of T+2 and reduce it T+0.

What We Do

With deep knowledge and expertise in market infrastructure and cross-border regulations, DAM generates proprietary liquidity in some of the most complex markets allowing our counterparties to transfer risk in all types of market conditions.

Strategic Investments

Adaptation to complexity is our specialty. As a firm rooted in pioneering new technology for capital markets, DAM is a vision focused strategic investor in companies and intellectual property that align with our mission. Without the constraints of operating like a venture capital firm that manages investor money and needs a defined exit horizon, DAM deploys its own patient and focused capital. Specifically we make investments related to advancements in our business of trading and that align with our directional global macro views where we can gain an asymmetric edge not readily available to express through tradable instruments.
