JERSEY CITY, New Jersey and LONDON, November 11 - Knight Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NITE) today announced the official
launch of Knight Link in Europe, an innovative trading model for European
equities which provides institutional and retail broker-dealers with access
to Knight's unique liquidity.

"We are very excited to be launching Knight Link in Europe," said
Kee-Meng Tan, Managing Director, Head of the Electronic Trading Group in
Europe. "Knight Link is designed to bring European clients quality executions
with high fulfilment rates and low cost on a low-latency platform."

Knight Link is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Service
Authority as a Systematic Internaliser, in accordance with the Markets in
Financial Instruments Directive. Knight Link helps clients to achieve
MiFID-mandated best execution requirements through a combination of
high-quality stock execution and low transaction costs.

"Knight Link is customisable to each client's needs and preferences," Mr.
Tan added. "We accommodate a wide range of trading architectures and capacity
requirements based on our leading technology, extensive market-making
operation, and connectivity to the full range of trading venues in Europe."

Knight introduced Knight Link to a handful of institutions with European
operations in January 2009, and Knight Capital Europe Limited commenced
business as a Retail Service Provider in the U.K. in June 2009. Knight also
will begin offering its market-making services on the Equiduct regulated
market shortly, bringing best execution to the continental European retail
market. Knight Link offers rapid order execution in a broad and growing range
of pan-European large- and mid-cap equities, bringing together execution of
institutional and retail flow. Since early 2009, Knight Link has added both
institutional and retail broker-dealer clients, regularly trading more than
US$100 million (euro 67 million) daily.

Knight Link in Europe is based on the highly successful model Knight
developed for trading in the U.S. equity markets. In the U.S., Knight Link
provides access to one of the largest sources of off-exchange liquidity in
the marketplace with 129 million U.S. equity shares traded daily in October
2009
.

Knight provides clients with voice and electronic access and trading in
Europe through our London-based trading operations. Knight is a direct member
of more than 20 European exchanges and multilateral trading facilities
(MTFs).
