#DRWat25: Jenis

I’ve had many days at DRW – I’ve been here for over 15 years – and no two days are the same. I remember how uncomfortable I felt on my first day. I had a lot ahead of me – not only learning how to trade, but also navigating my first professional experience out of college. It was daunting, but I figured my only choice was to give it my all.

Why our diversification matters

At DRW, we describe our trading as diverse – we trade asset classes and instruments using various strategies and we execute on an array of exchanges. This means we’re taking risk where we see opportunity, provide liquidity, and participate in latency sensitive trading – all at the same time, in markets around the world.
