Execution quality andstrategic confidentiality.
Drovix delivers highest-grade execution for hedge funds and quant desks — zero market impact, discreet block execution, high fill rates and co-location hosting for latency-sensitive strategies, all under a single principal counterparty.
Execution engineered for size and secrecy.
Funds and quant desks come to Drovix for execution that protects alpha. All counterparties are subject to onboarding, KYB, suitability, credit and jurisdictional review.
Your size should never be public information.
Large orders are internalised through bespoke liquidity pools or worked discreetly as principal against aggregated liquidity — minimising information leakage, adverse selection and market impact on institutional clip sizes. Your footprint stays off the public tape.
Alpha survives only what execution doesn't take.
Smart order routing targets the deepest available book per ticket and is engineered to minimise last-look rejections. Every fill is benchmarked and reported — TCA evidence ready for investors and prime brokers, not our word for it.
Latency is infrastructure, not a promise.
A C++/Aeron core targets <1ms internal execution, with co-location and proximity hosting at Equinix NY3, LD4, SG1 and TY3 and native FIX 4.4, REST and WebSocket access for your EMS/OMS, signal engines and proprietary stack.
Under the hood
The life of an order, in under a millisecond.
From session to execution report — what happens between your order and your fill, exactly as set out in our Order Execution Policy.
Illustrative sequence and timings only — not a representation of any specific order, latency guarantee or execution outcome. Internal matching and routing target <1ms; client round-trip latency is network-dependent by location and venue. Execution follows the published Order Execution Policy.
Execution without footprint
Move size. Leave no trace.
Size is internalised where it delivers zero market impact — your footprint stays invisible to the wider market while fills are benchmarked and reported.
Equinix NY3, LD4, SG1 and TY3 proximity hosting against a C++/Aeron core targeting <1ms internal execution.
Operational parameters describe the Drovix execution framework. They are not guarantees of pricing, fill rates, latency or trading outcomes.
How execution works
Worked discreetly, as principal.
When a fund trades with Drovix, Drovix takes the other side as principal and works the resulting exposure through internalisation and bespoke liquidity pools — rather than exposing your size on a public venue. Smart order routing internalises or routes to third-party liquidity providers to maintain best execution under prevailing market conditions.

- Pre-trade checks validate limits, price collar and margin in real time.
- Drovix prices as principal and internalises for zero market impact.
- Residual exposure is routed discreetly to maintain best execution.
- Fills are reconciled and benchmarked into post-trade TCA.

Execute size without moving the market.
Eligible funds and quant desks can begin the counterparty review process via the portal, or speak with the execution desk first.
Leveraged OTC products, including Forex and CFDs, carry a high level of risk and a counterparty may lose more than its initial margin. The Drovix offering is directed exclusively at Eligible Counterparties and Professional Clients; Drovix does not provide services to retail clients.
Scope. Drovix is not a public exchange, multilateral trading facility (MTF), organised trading facility (OTF) or ECN. Internalisation and discreet execution occur bilaterally between Drovix, acting as principal, and approved institutional counterparties — not on a multilateral venue. Drovix may route flow to third-party liquidity providers to maintain best execution under prevailing market conditions.
No retail. Drovix does not provide execution or any related services to retail clients. Services are offered only to approved professional clients, eligible counterparties and institutional clients, and not in jurisdictions where Drovix is not authorised or permitted to provide them.
