Leucadia Investments is part of the merchant banking arm of Jefferies Financial Group. FXCM has benefited from the scale and breadth of the Jefferies family of companies. Firmly committed to FXCM's success, Leucadia/Jefferies Managing Director, Jimmy Hallac, is the Chairman of FXCM Group, while Rich Handler and Brian Friedman, Jefferies' CEO and President respectively, both sit on the FXCM Board of Directors. Our customers, employees and stakeholders benefit greatly from the Leucadia/Jefferies affiliation.
