Pricing
Three plans and one published fee table. Nothing is priced on a call, and the pass-through charges are itemised rather than folded into a spread.

Before you fund
On plan subscriptions, futures and options commission, currency conversion and the spread the treasury sweep pays us, all of which are on the fee schedule. Vanta takes no payment for order flow, which is why routing can be optimised for price rather than for rebate.
Client assets are held in segregated custody at two banks and are not on the Vanta balance sheet. US accounts are covered by SIPC up to $500,000, of which $250,000 may be cash; UK accounts fall under the FSCS limit of £85,000. Neither protects against market losses.
Market, limit, stop, stop-limit, trailing stop, bracket, one-cancels-other, iceberg and time-weighted average price, on every venue that accepts them natively. Where a venue does not, Vanta simulates the type server side and says so on the ticket.
Eight years of consolidated tape at tick resolution on Active and Desk, and daily bars on Core. Backtests must declare a slippage and fee model before they run, so a result cannot be quoted without the assumptions that produced it.
Yes, including LLC, LP, corporate, trust and joint accounts, with documentation reviewed by onboarding within two business days. Desk plan clients can run up to twelve accounts under one login with per-account permissions.
In kind, through ACATS in the United States and through the equivalent transfer scheme in the United Kingdom, typically six to ten business days. Vanta pays the outgoing broker’s transfer fee up to $150 per account.
