Jefferies Financial Group Inc. is a global investment banking and capital markets firm headquartered in New York.

Its core business includes advisory services for mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity underwriting, corporate lending, and wealth management. Jefferies also provides prime brokerage, equities research, and diverse trading services across fixed income and foreign exchange markets.
The firm transitioned from a diversified holding company, formerly known as Leucadia National Corporation, to a focused financial services entity in 2018.
