Knight Capital Company Description
A day trader is one thing, but a Knight trader is something altogether different. Knight Capital Group is one of the top market makers for US and foreign stocks, as well as futures, options, foreign exchange, and fixed income products, through subsidiaries such as Knight Equity Markets, Knight Capital Markets, Direct Trading, Hotspot, and Knight BondPoint. It executes approximately 3.5 billion trades per day. Customers include brokerages, institutional investors, and issuers of securities. Knight exited the volatile hedge fund business in 2009 when it sold its stake in Deephaven Capital Management to Stark & Roth for more than $7 million.
