Derivative Markets business segment, the sale of which was

business thrived against the backdrop of a mediocre fourth quarter
market that lacked volatility, volume and a typical year-end
rally," said Thomas M. Joyce, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Knight Capital Group. "Of all the factors leading to the
favorable results, our decision to dramatically boost automation in
our broker-dealer operations mid-2005 had the greatest impact on
profitability. Market share itself matters less and less to us in
the broker-dealer business. What matters is profitable market
share. Our clients' success is increasingly measured by execution
quality, and Knight's results are ever more driven by trading
efficiencies and our ability to provide top-flight client service.
"Among institutional clients, Knight's model continued to compete
well as demand for unbundled offerings grew," Mr. Joyce added. "We
incrementally increased our institutional market share and revenues
through both deeper penetration and new accounts. The performance
of our Asset Management segment in the fourth quarter moved into
positive territory in December, and Deephaven ended a challenging
year for all hedge funds with slightly higher blended returns than
in 2004. "Knight introduced more products and enhancements to our
offering in 2005 than in any other year of our history. Much of our
effort has been to better leverage our natural liquidity in small-
and mid-cap stocks, one of our greatest assets. We broadened access
to that liquidity through direct market access and ECN execution,
complementing our fundamental institutional sales, cash equity and
automated broker-dealer trading operations. In addition, Knight
believes that we, as a firm, provide great insight and experience
to the trading process, and so we added technical research to help
clients make better decisions. In the coming year, Knight will
continue its pursuit to become a valued, centralized source for
access to high-quality trade execution across asset classes." Q4
