Capital Intelligence

What Makes the Jefferies Capital Intelligence Team’s Approach… Intelligent?

The Jefferies Capital Intelligence team helps clients strategically position their businesses against competitors, build stronger institutions across a firm’s lifecycle and provide market color and strategic insights in real time. We are:

  • Data Focused: The team utilizes a proprietary, data-driven project management system, allowing us to aggregate allocator strategy demand in real time, produce timely trend analyses and execute on meaningful introductions
  • Thoughtful Investor Coverage: Targeted relationship building and a strategic focus on investors that may serve as a particularly enduring partner to Jefferies’ clients
  • Intros to Allocations and a Relentless Focus on Return on Time: A strategic, defined and repeatable process enables the team to more efficiently track the path from intro to allocation, prioritizing manager time, and often resulting in a higher conversion ratio
  • Quality Over Quantity: The CI team prioritizes efficiency and productivity, favoring a ‘rifle shot’ approach over a volume one to optimize manager/allocator interactions
  • Regional Coverage: We focus on specialists versus generalists, and have developed deep geographic expertise over time
  • Strategic Content: Thematic thought leadership and bespoke advisory focused on delivering insights to clients, not just more information
  • Enduring Institutional Partnership: The Jefferies Capital Intelligence team prioritizes 1,000 day outlook rather than a front loaded 100 day approach
