Broker-Dealer [Abstract] |
Regulatory Requirements | Note 20. Regulatory Requirements Net Capital Jefferies LLC is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member firm of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (“Rule 15c3-1”), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, and has elected to calculate minimum capital requirements using the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1 in calculating net capital. Jefferies LLC, as a dually- registered U.S. broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (“FCM”), is also subject to Regulation 1.17 of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”), which sets forth minimum financial requirements. The minimum net capital requirement in determining excess net capital for a dually registered U.S. broker- dealer and FCM is equal to the greater of the requirement under SEA Rule 15c3-1 or CFTC Regulation 1.17. Accordingly, FINRA is the designated examining authority for Jefferies LLC and the National Futures Association (“NFA”) is the designated self- regulatory organization (“DSRO”) for Jefferies LLC as an FCM. Jefferies Financial Services, Inc. (“JFSI”) is registered with the SEC as a Security-Based Swap Dealer (“SBS Dealer”) and an OTC Derivatives Dealer (“OTCDD”) subject to the SEC’s SBS dealer regulatory rules and the SEC’s net capital requirements pursuant to Rule 18a-1. JFSI is also registered as a swap dealer with the CFTC and is subject to the CFTC’s regulatory capital requirements pursuant to the minimum financial requirements for swap dealers under CFTC Regulation 23.101. Additionally, as a registered member firm, JFSI is subject to the net capital requirements of the NFA. Accordingly, the SEC is the designated examining authority for JFSI in its capacity as an SBS Dealer and OTCDD, while the NFA is the DSRO for JFSI, as a CFTC registered swap dealer. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to capital adequacy requirements as prescribed by the regulatory authorities in their respective jurisdictions. This includes Jefferies International Limited which is subject to the regulatory supervision and requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the U.K. Jefferies International Limited’s’ own funds requirement represents the highest of the permanent minimum capital requirement, fixed overheads requirement and k-factor requirements set out in the Investment Firms Prudential Regime (“IFPR”) under the FCA’s MIFIDPRU sourcebook. At August 31, 2025, Jefferies LLC’s and JFSI’s net capital and excess net capital were as follows:
$ in thousands | Net Capital | Excess Net Capital
Jefferies LLC ................................................................. | $2,204,515 | $2,061,318
JFSI - SEC ...................................................................... | 310,701 | 290,345
JFSI - CFTC ................................................................... | 310,701 | 283,646
In addition, the equivalent capital requirement for Jefferies International Limited, on a consolidated basis, is a total capital of $2.02 billion and an excess capital of $1.15 billion at August 31, 2025. At August 31, 2025, Jefferies LLC, JFSI and JIL are in compliance with their applicable requirements. The regulatory capital requirements referred to above may restrict our ability to withdraw capital from our regulated subsidiaries. Customer Protection and Segregation Requirement As a registered broker dealer that clears and carries customer accounts, Jefferies LLC is subject to the customer protection provisions under SEC Rule 15c3-3 and is required to compute a reserve formula requirement for customer accounts and deposit cash or qualified securities into a special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. At August 31, 2025, Jefferies LLC had $875.6 million in cash and qualified U.S. Government securities on deposit in special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers. As a registered broker dealer that clears and carries proprietary accounts of brokers or dealers (commonly referred to as “PAB”), Jefferies LLC is also required to compute a reserve requirement for PABs pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3. At August 31, 2025, Jefferies LLC had $437.8 million in cash and qualified U.S. Government securities in special reserve bank accounts for the exclusive benefit of PABs. The qualified securities meeting the 15c3-3 customer and PAB requirements are included in Cash and securities segregated and Securities purchased under agreements to resell.
