Asset Management

Jefferies Asset Management Ltd., the wholly owned asset management subsidiary of Jefferies (Switzerland) Ltd., was merged with the latter in mid-2005 and thus ceased to be a separate company. Following the merger, Asset Management is now a division of Jefferies (Switzerland) Ltd. By specialising in investment advice and asset management based on global convertibles since 1995, we have been able to build up a high-calibre client base both in Switzerland and abroad. Our first-class clientele comprises a number of major institutional investors, including the pension funds of leading Swiss companies and public-sector organisations.

The Jefferies Umbrella Fund, a globally and regionally invested convertible bond fund, offers all the advantages of a modular concept and is equally suitable for institutional and private investors. Investors in the fund not only have the choice of global, European and Japanese/Asian investment biases – the Global Convertible Bonds sub-fund also allows them to select the US dollar (with or without currency hedging), euro (with currency hedging) or Swiss franc (with currency hedging) as their investment currency.

The fund is registered for sale in Switzerland as well as in Germany, Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
