SENSOR platform named Best Buy-Side Algorithmic Product and Dash360 analytics suite named Best Broker-Supplied Tool/Technology in WatersTechnology’s signature buy side awards

Dash Financial Technologies, the industry’s leading capital markets technology and execution provider, today announced that it collected a pair of awards at WatersTechnology’s 2018 Buy-Side Technology Awards. Dash’s SENSOR^™ algorithmic trading and routing suite was named “Best Buy-Side Algorithmic/DMA Product or Service” and its Dash360^™ analytics and transparency platform was named “Best Broker-Supplied Tool/Technology” at an awards ceremony held November 2nd in London.

Now in their 12th year, the Buy-Side Technology Awards seek to recognize the leading technologies and firms helping the buy side excel. Winners are selected by nine judges: five buy-side-focused technology consultants and four of WatersTechnology’s most experienced journalists.

SENSOR is Dash’s signature multi-asset routing solution, allowing institutional users to shape their experience to precisely meet their performance goals. The Dash360 analytics suite provides clients full routing and cost transparency and a comprehensive suite of tools to visualize all aspects of their orders before, during, and after the execution. Used in tandem, the two products provide an unmatched level of performance, transparency, and visualization.

Commenting on the award wins, Dash CEO Peter Maragos said: “We appreciate the industry’s recognition, which is a testament to the tremendous effort and craftsmanship put forth by the incredibly talented team we have here at Dash.”

He continued: “MiFID II’s impact has been global, creating a massive tailwind globally for technology-driven agency solutions firms like Dash. With a growing list of clients hungry to derive alpha through the execution process, it is with tools like SENSOR and Dash360 that we help them do this, and we are especially proud that they were both rewarded in this way.”

The BST award wins are the latest for the firm, which has received numerous accolades since its launch in 2011. Most recently, Dash received two Markets Choice awards in April, with the firm being named “Best Algorithmic Trading Provider” and co-COO Tim Miller a “Rising Star” at Markets Media’s signature event. Also in April, Dash CEO Peter Maragos was named to Institutional Investor’s Trading Technology 40 list, the third consecutive year he’s received the honor.
