Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIH. “We are thrilled to complete this acquisition and look forward to supporting Dorman Trading in expanding its capabilities and the services it offers to customers.”

“Dorman Trading is proud of the service-oriented, customer-centric business model we have used to provide clearing services to our customers for the past 40 years,” said Daniel P. Dorman, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Dorman Trading. “We are excited to grow our capabilities and services as we embark on this next step in our history, combining Dorman Trading’s experience as an FCM with MIH’s resources and vision.”
