The Results of Our Efforts are Important and Gratifying

Team Jefferies,

We are grateful for your incredible level of competence and overwhelming passion to help build our firm by delivering for our clients and stakeholders.  We would like to share some hugely gratifying results we received over the last few days in respect of four of the most important and competitive offerings that we at Jefferies have been working so long and hard to build. 

JEFFERIES RANKS #5 IN GLOBAL ADVISORY (M&A)

M&A and advisory services are near and dear to clients’ hearts and minds as they choose an advisor.  Jefferies has become a trusted advisor to so many of our clients and we thank them for their confidence and trust in us. 

JEFFERIES RANKS #5 IN GLOBAL EQUITY CAPITAL MARKETS

Similarly, when clients consider who to entrust with their IPO or other needs in Equity Capital Markets, Jefferies increasingly is among the first couple of names that come to mind.  Our entire firm works together to deliver for our clients. 

JEFFERIES RANKS #4 IN U.S. EQUITY RESEARCH 

For several decades now, we have been building our global equity research effort to support our sales, trading and equity capital markets offerings.  We are pleased and proud that our team is recognized as being among the best advising and serving clients today. 

JEFFERIES RANKS #1 IN GLOBAL ELECTRONIC TRADING OF EQUITIES

Always innovative and forward-thinking, Jefferies has invested over the past two decades to deliver leading edge technology solutions to our clients in equities trading.  We are pleased to be recognized in the latest Coalition Greenwich Survey as the best in overall service quality, algorithmic strategies, market structure services and algo customization.  

We could have gone around the firm and listed many other efforts that have comparably impressive market positions.  We pride ourselves for respecting each other, prioritizing our clients and always maintaining the right balance of confidence and humility.  November is the thankful season and as each of you reflect on what you and your families are grateful for this November, please join us in taking great pride and appreciation in the incredible progress Jefferies continues to make all around the globe.  The good news is that there is scope and opportunity for further progress and improvement in everything we do, but this November, we would just like to thank all 6,000 of you for building our special firm, and as we look around our firm, we all know exactly how much we all mean to each other and how important our home is to every one of us.

In awe of all of your competence, drive and humility,

Rich and Brian
