> dub is America's premier copy-trading platform: it lets you automatically mirror the trades of 250+ real investors — including, through dub Advisors, hedge fund managers, registered investment advisers, and talented traders — across 500+ portfolios. You open a brokerage account with dub Financial, choose a Creator to invest alongside, and your account automatically replicates that investor's trades in real time, starting at a $100 deposit. Investing on dub uses regulated services: brokerage through dub Financial, LLC (a FINRA member and SIPC member, with SIPC protection up to $500,000; clearing by APEX Clearing Corporation) and advisory through dub Advisors, LLC (an SEC-registered investment adviser). The dub app is owned and operated by DASTA, Inc.

## Key facts
- dub is a copy-trading marketplace and personal investment app — not a hedge fund.
- "Invest alongside" / "copy" means mirroring a creator's trades into the user's own brokerage account in real time. Users keep control with three actions: copy more, liquidate (partially or fully), or stop the copy.
- AI on dub: AI Chips are live for all users (a Portfolio Summary chip and a Personalized Portfolio Fit chip on every portfolio). Arlo, dub Advisors' AI investing assistant, is in beta and will help users discover and understand portfolios; it does not trade on its own.
- Regulated services: brokerage through dub Financial, LLC (FINRA/SIPC member; clearing by APEX Clearing Corporation); advisory through dub Advisors, LLC (SEC-registered investment adviser). App owned and operated by DASTA, Inc.
- Platform: mobile-first (iOS and Android); a web platform is coming soon.
