Dorivo: Quantitative Execution Protocols for CH Markets
Company Background
Founded in Zug in 2018, Dorivo focuses exclusively on providing high-frequency liquidity and algorithmic trading tools for the professional sector. Our operations aim to minimize slippage in large-volume block trades and serve family offices, hedge funds, and prop trading desks. Each client relationship is validated through rigorous KYC/AML processes that exceed FINMA minimum standards; the company structure is designed as an AG (public limited company) and is subject to Swiss law.
No Retail Clients.
Technical Architecture and Execution
Our matching engine is collocated on dedicated servers in an Equinix data center (ZH4) in Zurich, enabling cross-connects to primary liquidity providers with sub-millisecond latencies. Order entries are processed via a FIX API (Version 4.4) or a proprietary WebSocket interface: The Smart Order Routing (SOR) logic aggregates liquidity from over a dozen dark and lit pools. This entire infrastructure is designed for 99.99% uptime and secured by redundant failover systems in Geneva.
Latency is non-negotiable.
Fee Structure and Financial Logic
The dorivo revenue model is based on a variable maker-taker fee scheme linked to 30-day trading volumes (in CHF). Taker fees start at 8 basis points and decrease to as low as 1 basis point for volumes over CHF 50 million. Maker orders receive volume-dependent rebates directly from the liquidity pool, while spread arbitrage is actively managed as a secondary revenue source by our internal market-making desk.
Volume dictates costs.
Regulatory and Data Protection Protocols
All customer data is stored exclusively on servers in Switzerland (Tier-IV certified) and is subject to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). Data transfer is secured end-to-end with AES-256 encryption, while cold storage wallets utilize a multi-signature architecture (3-of-5 scheme). As an SRO member, Dorivo is subject to anti-money laundering regulations, which are regularly audited by a FINMA-recognized auditing firm.
Compliance is a zero-tolerance zone.
Mandatory Risk Disclosure

Expert Q&A
We guarantee a maximum slippage of 15 basis points for the top-of-book based on aggregated order books. The exact execution quality depends on the volatility of the respective time window.
Our proprietary algorithms utilize machine learning models to predict short-term liquidity fluctuations and minimize market impact, going beyond standard TWAP/VWAP.
Our SOR is logically separated from our market-making desk; an internal information barrier (Chinese Wall) prevents front-running and conflicts of interest and is documented through audit logs.
Reliability is defined by technical uptime (99.99%), cold storage security architecture, and compliance with Swiss AML legislation as an SRO member. Market regulation is an external factor.
No. Hedging against counterparty and systemic risks is solely the client's responsibility, as we only provide the execution infrastructure.
