JEFFERIES TO HOST INAUGURAL FINANCIAL SERVICES CONFERENCE JUNE 20 IN NEW YORK CITY

NEW YORK -- June 14, 2007 --Jefferies & Company, Inc., the principal operating subsidiary of Jefferies Group, Inc. (NYSE: JEF), today announced that the Firm will host its inaugural Financial Services Conference on June 20, 2007 in New York City. Senior industry executives and investors will gather to discuss the latest developments and the future of the industry. This forum will include discussions within the context of credit outlook and uncertainty of the interest rate environment, as well as the political and regulatory dynamics given a new Congress.

"We are excited to be hosting Jefferies' first Financial Services Conference. Six months into 2007, we are in an unprecedented economic environment. There are tremendous opportunities in the sector, but risks are increasing, favoring savvy investors who know how to dig in and find the very best companies,” commented Richard Shane, Managing Director and Group Head of Specialty Finance Equity Research at Jefferies. “Jefferies’ Financial Services conference is an opportunity for investors to directly connect with a diverse group of management teams in a focused one-day setting."

"Finance companies face increasing uncertainty,” added Dan Fannon, Senior Equity Research Analyst at Jefferies. “The winners and losers will be determined by which companies do the best job managing credit and liquidity. Picking the right strategy is imperative, so we’ve designed the conference to be a forum where investors can interact with the senior executives who are making these key decisions."
