Recently, Jefferies successfully executed the largest sole managed high yield bond offering in more than 20 years, raising $2 billion for one of our long standing clients, Icahn Enterprises.

In addition, in the last 6 months Jefferies has executed numerous high yield bond offerings as lead left bookrunner, with other bulge bracket firms positioned to our right, including Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and UBS.

Clients are increasingly turning to Jefferies for the quality and strength of our global high yield franchise, which is highlighted by the following:

• One of the largest and most experienced high yield sales forces among all investment banks with 21 dedicated high yield sales professionals averaging over 17 years of experience;
• Among the broadest and deepest investor coverage in the industry, with coverage of over 400 high yield accounts and sales force relationships averaging more than 6 years;

We would like to thank our clients for entrusting their significant capital raising needs to Jefferies.
