Employee Ownership
At Jefferies, we believe that ownership alignment is the best motivator for long-term success. Employee ownership is up significantly in the past five years, with the Jefferies family owning a significant portion of the outstanding equity of the Firm. Through various stock ownership programs, all Jefferies employee-partners are encouraged to take part in the firm that we are building and the value we are creating together.
With nearly every individual at Jefferies being a stock owner, the employee-partners of this company treat the hiring, capital allocation, risk management, cost control and compliance decisions very seriously and personally. We believe that ownership by this group is one of the fundamental reasons why our Firm has thrived in both favorable and challenging times, and has contributed to high staff retention, as well as attracting new partners.
