LIQUIDITY
Knight is an important source of liquidity in the fragmented U.S. equity market.
The firm pools order flow from retail and institutional investors to generate deep, in-house liquidity. Knight applies sophisticated trading
technologies to the trade execution process. The firm continually seeks to meet client-defined measures for best execution. Clients also benefit
from reduced trading friction and high fulfillment rates.
When liquidity isn't immediately available Knight can commit capital as a market maker or provide facilitation capital on an agency basis. In
addition, the firm is connected to more than 100 exchanges, ECNs, dark pools, ADFs, MTFs and other brokers.
