Trading
DRW Trading Group trades in a diverse set of asset classes and instruments, both domestically and internationally. These include fixed income, energy, agricultural and equity index futures and options. Our trading strategies and methods vary greatly. Certain of our operations focus on liquidity provision, while in others we interact with the markets as liquidity takers. Some of our operations are heavily dependent on technology and use complex algorithms, while others transact in more traditional ways on trading floors or over the phone. In short, we are diversified as to strategies, asset classes, types of instruments and geographic presence.
The great majority of our trading is done in centrally cleared instruments, thus eliminating the counterparty exposure associated with OTC/bilateral trading. DRW is an active participant on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, the New York Mercantile Exchange, the Intercontinental Exchange, Eurex, LIFFE and several other exchanges and trading venues.
Our trading strategies are often highly active and add significant amounts of liquidity to markets.
