Direct Access Partners expands technology in new corporate offices

New York, NY July 27, 2010 – Direct Access Partners LLC, the institutional agency-only brokerage firm providing multi-asset trade execution and support services, announced today that it has moved to its corporate headquarters to the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street. The new location has been built-out with a more robust technology platform and will include new asset class trading capabilities.

The new, larger location has enabled Direct Access Partners to enhance its technology platform with the aim of providing smoother international routing capabilities. Clients will also benefit from a more robust options trading operation and the recent addition of futures trading. The firm has recently added memberships in key options and futures exchanges including the NYSE Amex Options, NYSE Arca Options, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, ISE, CBOE and BOX.

“From our clients’ perspective they can access multi-asset classes around the world with a single interaction,” said Ben Chinea, CEO of Direct Access Partners. “Our technology and our service offerings are based on the need we see within the institutional community.”

“In addition to the enhanced technology platform, the new space will give Direct Access Partners the ability to continue to expand service offerings,” said Chinea. “Since our inception in 2002 we have been fortunate enough to experience a steady and strategic growth. In the past year alone we have almost doubled both in size and scope with the addition of services such as global multi-prime brokerage, international trading, fixed income and futures trading as well as capital raising capabilities.”

The new location is steeped in history serving as the headquarters for John Mulheren until 2003.
