Commenting on the financial performance of the bank Jefferies Group chairman and CEO Richard B Handler said the current nine-month period results were the best in the company’s history, in spite of the turbulent conditions.
"Our equity base of $3.7 billion has never been more robust, and our balance sheet and liquidity have never been stronger. The Jefferies brand and our competitive position versus our competitors have also never been better," Handler commented.
