The Dorivo investment platform Execution & Liquidity Architecture
Dorivo Ltd, an FCA-registered entity (FRN 9XXXXX), was incorporated in London in 2018 to service a quantifiable gap in the UK's prime brokerage market for sophisticated counterparties. The firm operates on a pure agency execution model, holding zero proprietary positions and mitigating principal-agent conflict across all asset classes offered; capitalisation exceeds regulatory minimums by a factor of three.

Technical Architecture and execution
Our matching engine is co-located within the Equinix LD4 data centre, affording sub-250 microsecond internal latency for order processing. Client connectivity is established via dedicated cross-connects or through API endpoints utilising the Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol 4.4; WebSocket is available for market data streams. Order flow is routed through a proprietary Smart Order Router (SOR) that queries multiple tier-1 liquidity providers simultaneously for optimal price discovery and fill rates.
Zero requotes.
Fee structure and financial logic
Monetisation derives exclusively from a volume-based commission structure, tiered from 0.08 basis points down to 0.02 basis points for monthly volumes exceeding £500M notional. We do not internalise order flow nor do we receive payment for order flow (PFOF) from any execution venue. The core revenue stream is predicated on execution velocity and aggregated liquidity provision from our integrated prime-of-prime network, which directly informs the raw spreads visible to clients.
No markups.
Regulatory and Data Protection Protocols
Client data segregation and protection protocols adhere strictly to the UK's implementation of GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. All client-side and server-side communications are encrypted using TLS 1.3 with AES-256-GCM ciphers, while all data-at-rest is encrypted utilising the same standard. Reporting obligations under MiFID II and EMIR are fully automated, with transaction data submitted to the designated Approved Reporting Mechanism (ARM) without manual intervention.
Compliance is mandatory.
Mandatory Risk Warning
Trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and FX is speculative and carries a high level of risk that is not suitable for all investors. You may sustain a loss of some or all of your invested capital; therefore, you should not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose. The information provided is not investment advice.
