We’re constantly adding investment products and account types

Through DriveWealth, partners can offer their customers the full breadth or a limited subset of our investment products, account types and services. In addition, we are constantly looking to expand the kinds of accounts and assets we support. There’s always more to come because we’re more than brokerage.

DriveWealth is truly end-to-end embedded investing solution

Other providers may claim to be full service, but they route orders to market makers. DriveWealth owns execution down to the point of sale and routes orders for best execution, so that your customers can get the best possible price for their transactions.

Our Fracker™ system* carries an inventory of every security that is traded on our platform. Every fractional share order is executed in real time on a principal basis at the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO). If your customer buys more than our inventory holds, we can execute streetside via DWI.

DWI’s uniquely configured digital infrastructure offers great flexibility in the routing and execution of order flow, which is critical in volatile or unprecedented market conditions, and provides retail investors with execution quality and price discovery previously available only to institutions and ultra-wealthy investors. DWI can provide our partners with execution and performance reports that offer full transparency in strategy visualization, venue performance, benchmark performance and trade expense.

API stands for application program interface. An API specifies how software components should interact. Our suite of APIs allow our partners to build applications that connect to our brokerage platform.

Embedded investing refers to the ability to access investment products and services through a non-native financial services company’s app.

* Fracker technology is DriveWealth’s proprietary order management system which allows for real-time fractional share trading
