Knight Equity Markets International Limited, a subsidiary of Knight Capital Group, has selected QuantHouse to support its European-based Knight Link™ offering with QuantFEED and QuantLINK end-to-end low latency applications.
The Knight Link platform is hosted by QuantHouse and fed by QuantFEED ultra low latency market data feeds for all major Tier 1 European equity and futures / derivatives exchanges as well as MTFs. Orders are routed directly back to the exchanges leveraging QuantHouse proprietary fiber optic network for end-to-end speed of light performance.
Knight Link provides clients with rapid, electronic trade execution in a broad range of equities while helping clients reduce trading costs and limit market impact. Knight Link can accommodate a wide range of trading architectures and capacity requirements for easy integration into a firm’s smart order router, dark liquidity-seeking algorithms and/or OMS systems. Knight Link has developed innovative technologies using built-in anti-gaming logic designed to protect clients.
“QuantHouse excellence in planning and execution allowed Knight to execute its first orders in less than 8 weeks from date of contract signature, as part of its preparation for the launch of the Knight Link Pan European platform,” says Pierre Feligioni, general manager & co-Founder, QuantHouse.
“As we looked to expand Knight Link in Europe, we sought a provider with a track record and in-depth knowledge of the European markets,” says Kee-Meng Tan, managing director, head of Knight’s Electronic Trading Group, Europe. “QuantHouse’s end-to-end low latency solutions allowed us to reduce time to market and to provide our European clients with a unique, advanced platform for dark liquidity.”
