2020 was a solid year for investment banking fees in general - but Jefferies posted another record year with IBD leading the charge.
Where does Jefferies stand moving forward? They seem to be happy in the UMM M&A space and continuously gaining LevFin market share.
The growth story has been pretty impressive. Just wondering if WSO thinks they’ll keep it up.

WSO has always hated Jefferies for some reason.
interested to know more about their top groups
HC, Tech, and Industrials for sector coverage. M&A is easily their best product group followed by LevFin.
Healthcare is miles above all of their other groups though. Apparently they have an entirely separate compensation pool for just the HC teams
I have heard the same thing about their energy group as well (separate bonus pool than the rest of IB). Any views on that? Have heard its one of the top Houston groups.
HC/Energy/LevFin
how are the exit opps and pay for these groups?
any thoughts on their real estate coverage group? Recent open posting for intern in CLT
I think people sell them short but putting them in the MM box. I’m not saying they’re a BB but they definitely punch above their weight class and compete successfully against BBs on occasion. Particularly HC and Tech
Would energy also be a part of that group?
