Clarity
When much is known by many, transparency thrives and ideas compete. Enter clarity: it creates order from chaos, giving shape to market direction and promoting trust.

We provide clients with a comprehensive view of the global capital markets, as well as the means to effectively source liquidity across fragmented markets and strive for best execution.
As a major market center, our sales and trading team regularly assists clients with price discovery and measuring the depth of the market, in particular, for thin or difficult-to-trade securities. EdgeTrade’s algorithmic suite, available through many platforms including Knight Direct, allows clients to source liquidity across fragmented markets and executes trades on an anonymous and cost-effective basis.
We bring a measure of clarity to otherwise opaque or less transparent markets. For example, we operate ECNs in fixed income and foreign exchange to create open markets that present high bid prices and low ask prices and anonymously match buyers and sellers.
Finally, in order to quantify trading effectiveness, we offer real-time transaction cost analysis tools that allow clients to conduct pre- and post-trade analysis and measure overall trading performance.
