Jefferies Hires Middle East Trader
October 6, 2008
Jefferies & Co. has hired Kelly R. Holloway as a senior vice president in the firm's fixed income group, where he will focus on selling and trading U.S. agency bonds, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and other fixed income securities for institutional investors based in the Middle East.
Holloway joins the firm from Vining Sparks, a regional broker-dealer based in Memphis, Tenn., where he spent ten years. He most recently focused on selling U.S. agency bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities to foreign banks, largely in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
This is one of several additions to Jefferies’ fixed income group within the past six months. Others include four senior professionals added to the firm's emerging markets fixed income sales and trading unit; two senior hires to the high yield, distressed and loan sales and trading unit; the hire of Robert Harteveldt from Bear Sterns as chairman of fixed income and a member of the firm's executive committee; and the addition of an entire mortgage-backed securities team.
Jefferies' broader fixed income effort includes more than 150 professionals actively trading high yield, distressed and convertible securities, as well as bank loans, corporate bonds, U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds and emerging markets debt.
