Founded in 2018 by industry veterans, Clear Street is “an independent, non-bank prime broker working to solve the industry’s most neglected problem: legacy technology.”

The firm’s goal is to create “a single-source platform to serve all investor types, across all asset classes, globally.”
Clear Street does “not provide investment, legal, regulatory, tax, or compliance advice. Consult professionals in these fields to address your specific circumstances.”
