DASH's goal is to advance industry practices by constantly leveraging new technology. We are guided by core principles that differentiate us from more commoditized platforms. These core principles include:

TRANSPARENCY

Our glass-box approach to execution takes electronic execution to a new level, allowing client access and reporting to every attribute of an execution in real time.

SPEED

Built on the very latest fiber connectivity, the DASH infrastructure is extremely low latency ensuring lightning-quick execution to the exchanges.

EXECUTION QUALITY

Due to our expertise, speed and highly configurable / custom-designed algorithmic trading suite, DASH is confident that we provide a level above best execution for our client.

PRICE

Conscious that price is a major contributor to any decision, DASH is pricing their services highly competitively and offering cost-plus pricing across DMA, routers and algorithms.

WHITE-GLOVE SERVICE

While we pride ourselves on our immersion in the very latest technology, DASH clients are never left to face our technology alone, enjoying service and support in our very hands-on, concierge style.
