COVERAGE
Knight endeavors to provide the most comprehensive trade execution
services and products to its broker-dealer and institutional clients.
Knight has solidified its sales and trading teams to better serve
institutions from West Coast to East Coast. Meanwhile, Knight’s
broker-dealer business is both pursuing improved penetration of regional
and New York full-service firms and going after more business from
online brokers, program trading desks and options market makers.
CAPITAL
When Knight receives a client order, it taps a deep liquidity pool
to execute that order. But when liquidity isn’t available, Knight
steps forward and does what ECNs can’t do. Knight takes risk
on behalf of the client. Knight can commit its own capital to make
sure the trade happens. Knight calls this “enhanced liquidity.”
Clients call it “getting on the tape.”
CONNECTIVITY
With links to all exchanges and ECNs, Knight’s access to liquidity
is expansive. If a client requires liquidity that’s not readily
available, Knight’s expert staff uses sophisticated systems
to go out and get it. This ability to access the other side of the
trade is a testament to Knight’s scale and the talent of its
technology team – who are already at work on the next generation
of institutional trading technology.
CONTENT
Knight makes every effort to aggregate resources to help clients make
the best decisions when it comes to executing their trades effectively.
The cash equity trading floor has been reorganized along industry
sectors. Sectorization allows traders to gather and share sector-
and stock-specific data in order to guide clients as they move in
and out of the market. |
