Description

Company
Established in 1962, Jefferies, the global investment banking firm, has served companies and investors for nearly 60 years.

Headquartered in New York, with offices in over 30 cities around the world, the firm provides clients with capital markets and financial advisory services, institutional brokerage and securities research, as well as wealth management.

The firm provides research and execution services in equity, fixed income, and foreign exchange markets, and a full range of investment banking services including underwriting, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and recapitalization and other advisory services, with all businesses operating across the Americas, Europe and Asia.

On March 1, 2013, Jefferies merged with Jefferies Financial Group Inc, formerly known as, Leucadia National Corporation, effectively combining our investment banking firm with one of the world's largest and best-known investment companies.

As a result of the merger, Jefferies has been significantly strengthened and remains positioned for continued long term growth, with meaningful increases in scale and liquidity.

Jefferies Today

The last few years have truly been a pivotal time for Jefferies as the firm has gained market share and built significant momentum by capitalizing on strategic opportunities to expand and diversify on multiple levels and across all business lines across all geographies.

Jefferies' ability to emerge from the financial crisis positioned for growth and diversification can best be attributed to the firm's focus on a straightforward and transparent business model, a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity.

Jefferies has invested heavily in expanding across both products and geographies to better serve our global clients.

In addition to meaningfully increasing our offering in equities, the business upon which Jefferies was founded, Jefferies now offers deep and broad capabilities across fixed income and investment banking.

Significant investment in talented professionals has also resulted in a full-service European operation supported by 900 employee-partners across all major lines of business, and an ongoing build in Asia with more than 400 professionals, all of which complement the firm's strong U.S.

presence.

After nearly 60 years, our firm is among the top ten in virtually all of our businesses and is top five in many.

With continued growth and expansion, Jefferies remains focused on one key tenet:
serving clients.
