The international connection

Jefferies, an independent, full-service global securities and investment banking firm, has served companies and their investors for more than 45 years. Headquartered in New York City, with offices in more than 25 cities around the world, Jefferies provides clients with capital markets and financial advisory services, institutional brokerage, securities research and asset management. The firm provides investors with fundamental research and trade execution in equity, equity-linked, and fixed income securities, including corporate bonds, high yield bonds, US government and agency securities, repo finance, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, whole loans and emerging markets debt, as well as commodities and derivatives. Jefferies offers companies capital markets, merger and acquisition, restructuring and other financial advisory services.

Jefferies & Company, Inc. is the principal operating subsidiary of Jefferies Group, Inc. ((listed on the NYSE, symbol: JEF, www.jefferies.com). Due to the company's rapid expansion, Jefferies International Limited was formed in 1985 with its registered office in London as the springboard for all non-US-domiciled activities. This paved the way for today's global business – a business based on proximity to local clients and in-depth knowledge of regional markets.

The Jefferies Group employs more than 2,200 people worldwide, all committed to the corporate credo that underpins the way we think and work: proven professionals with sound knowledge of their specialist fields and a strong client focus.
