Pros
- Registered broker dealer with FINRA and SEC oversight, not just a marketing label
- Offers real direct market access instead of a simulated funded account
- Runs its own ANVIL trading software and a proprietary dark pool
- Long history in the industry, tracing back to 2003 as Prescient Securities
Cons
- Public information on current pricing and account minimums is hard to find
- bestforex.io previously mislabeled Assent as a prop trading challenge firm
- Better suited to experienced active traders than casual beginners
- No confirmed public FINRA CRD number could be verified during this review
Assent LLC started in 2003 under the name Prescient Securities. It grew into a broker dealer built for active and professional equity traders, offering direct market access rather than a simple retail app. The firm is a member of FINRA and is registered with the SEC as a broker dealer.
The core product is direct access to US equity markets through Assent's own ANVIL trading software, smart order routing, and FIX protocol connections. Assent also runs its own dark pool, called the Assent ATS, for larger orders. This setup suits day traders, trading groups, and small trading firms more than casual beginners.
bestforex.io previously listed Assent as a prop trading firm with a profit split and a challenge model. That framing understates what Assent really is, a licensed broker dealer rather than a funded trading challenge company. Anyone interested should confirm current fees and account terms directly with Assent, since public retail style pricing pages are limited.
