Trading ETFs with DRW
To achieve best execution and minimize risk, it’s imperative that institutional investors diversify the group of market makers from which they source their pricing. Currently, 71% of the notional traded volume in Equity ETFs are provided by five liquidity providers, and 72% of the notional traded volume in Fixed Income ETFs are provided by only two.* DRW adds value by providing institutional investors and ETF issuers with more options, better prices and less dependency.
