Company Information

Get to know Knight

Founded in 1995, Knight Capital Group grew to become one of the largest market makers in U.S. equities, handling a significant volume of the daily trading on the NYSE and NASDAQ. The company provided liquidity and trade execution services to a vast client base of broker-dealers, institutional investors, and corporations. Its business was heavily technology-driven, relying on high-frequency trading algorithms. The firm is famously remembered for a 2012 trading software glitch that resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $440 million, leading to its subsequent acquisition and rebranding.

License

A Grade License

Issued by globally renowned regulators, these licenses ensure the highest trader protection through strict compliance, fund segregation, insurance, and regular audits. Dispute resolution and adherence to AML/CTF standards further enhance security.

B Grade License

Granted by respected regional regulators, these licenses offer robust safety measures such as fund segregation, financial reporting, and compensation schemes. Though slightly less strict than Tier 1, they provide dependable regional protection.

C Grade License

Issued by regulators in emerging markets, these licenses offer basic protections such as minimum capital requirements and AML policies. Oversight is less stringent, so traders should exercise caution and verify safety measures.

D Grade License

From jurisdictions with minimal oversight, these licenses often lack key protections like fund segregation and insurance. While attractive for operational flexibility, they pose higher risks to traders.
