DRW

Follow

DRW is a diversified trading firm with decades of experience bringing sophisticated technology and exceptional people together to operate in markets around the world and across many asset classes. We value autonomy and the ability to quickly pivot to capture opportunities, and so we operate using our own capital and trading at our own risk. Headquartered in Chicago with offices in the U.S. and Canada as well as Europe and Asia, we trade all the things you’d expect from a leading firm, including Fixed Income, ETFs, Equities, FX, Commodities and Energy. We also have leveraged our expertise and technology to expand into three non-traditional strategies: real estate, venture capital and cryptoassets. We operate with respect, curiosity and an open mind, and the people who thrive here share our belief that it’s not just what we do that matters but also how we do it. It’s a place of high expectations, integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge consensus. Learn more at www.drw.com.
