Knight Capital

A day trader is one thing, but a Knight trader is something altogether different. Knight Capital Group performs electronic and voice-activated trade execution services for US and foreign stocks, as well as futures, options, foreign exchange, and fixed income products. Following its 2010 purchase of the specialist operations of Kellogg Capital Markets, Knight Capital also makes markets for more than 1,000 stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on NYSE exchanges. Active in the US, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, the company can handle up to 20 million trades per day. Customers include brokerages, investment advisors, institutional investors, private wealth managers, and corporate issuers of securities.
