Knight Financial Investments

Knight Financial Investments provides discretionary portfolio management to individual clients, with a primary focus on equities and the use of mutual funds and ETFs where appropriate. The firm constructs customized portfolios, monitors and rebalances accounts on an ongoing basis, and requires clients to grant discretionary trading authority; it does not participate in wrap fee programs.

The firm's stated investment methods include fundamental analysis and long-term purchases, and allocations are tailored to each client's objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon; tax efficiency is not the primary consideration and clients are encouraged to consult tax professionals. The brochure also outlines IRA rollover considerations and discloses the conflict that can arise when rollovers are recommended into accounts the firm will manage.

Noteworthy in the brochure is an affiliation with an accounting/CPA practice and a disclosure that the firm may recommend using that affiliate’s services, which creates a potential referral conflict of interest. The firm operates with a small advisory team, recommends a specific custodian platform (Interactive Brokers), does not combine multiple client orders for block trading, and does not vote client proxies — operational features that may affect trade aggregation, execution, and proxy voting compared with many peers.
