Jefferies announced today that it will hold a Global Trading Day
on January 16, 2025, to raise funds for organizations supporting
first responders and those impacted by the fires.
Jefferies will donate 100% of net global commissions on January
16 for all trading in equities and fixed income by the Firm’s
clients. Jefferies will also make a $1 million donation and
encourage its nearly 6,000 employees to personally support relief
efforts. During the month following this Global Trading Day,
contributions will be carefully allocated to qualified charities to
ensure the proceeds go directly to support the people and
communities most in need.
Rich Handler, CEO, and Brian Friedman, President of Jefferies,
said: “We are heartbroken by the wildfires causing unfathomable
destruction in the Los Angeles area. Our firm was founded in Los
Angeles 62 years ago, and it has always been a resilient community,
full of dynamism, opportunity and strength. Our hearts go out to
all those affected, and we stand with them in this difficult time.
As charities and civic groups mobilize to provide urgent relief,
Jefferies will support their critical work with direct donations as
well as the proceeds from our Global Trading Day. We encourage our
employees and clients worldwide to join in this effort.”
Jefferies has previously held Global Trading Days at times of
need, which raised more than $60 million just in the past five
years for charities responding to humanitarian crises and natural
disasters.
