Dorr Asset Management

What Dorr Asset Management does

Dorr Asset Management (DΛM) is a privately held proprietary trading firm founded in 2010 by brothers David Dorr and Brian Dorr and headquartered in George Town, Grand Cayman. The firm trades exclusively with its own capital across equities, fixed income, commodities, foreign exchange, and derivatives, operating as a direct principal counterparty to financial institutions and multinational corporations on 85+ exchanges and with 200+ counterparties worldwide. DΛM does not manage external funds, custody assets, or act as a broker, and generates revenue through proprietary trading profits and strategic investments funded by its own capital rather than fees or commissions. Every quoted price reflects the firm's net price to buy or sell the asset.

The firm owns and controls its entire technology stack end-to-end, from trading systems to banking infrastructure. This proprietary architecture enables accelerated clearing and settlement, reducing the traditional T+2 industry standard to same-day (T+0) settlement in many cases. DΛM is regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) as a Special Economic Zone Company under the Commodities & Derivatives Park framework, having been the first entity to establish operations within that zone in 2017 and the first to secure commodities and derivatives trading licenses under its dedicated financial innovation framework. The team operates across the Americas and the Caribbean with stated deep regional expertise in Latin American FX and commodities, and DΛM has pioneered liquidity provision in niche asset classes and emerging markets where other counterparties are less active. The firm also deploys proprietary capital into strategic investments in companies and intellectual property aligned with its core trading mission.
