NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jefferies Private Wealth Management, the wealth management division of Jefferies Financial Group, today announced its selection of +SUBSCRIBE as its new order management system for its custom alternatives investment platform.
"Jefferies' alternatives platform – a 'best ideas' selection of alternatives funds – has exploded in popularity over the past 24 months," shared Laurie Goodman, Managing Director and Global Head of Investment & Wealth Solutions at Jefferies. "Switching to +SUBSRIBE's automated solution will save us thousands of hours annually, and allow us to serve our clients with speed and efficiency as we continue to grow."

"Centralizing operations through +SUBSCRIBE does more than benefit our fast-growing alternatives team," says Robert Peyreigne, Global Co-Head of Jefferies Private Wealth Management. "It provides efficiencies at all levels of our investment team plus product management, compliance, and operations. It's a win for anyone responsible for part of the alts investment lifecycle."

One aspect of our strategic initiative is to drive innovation through technology. Implementing tech like this will help us stay at the forefront of the investment industry, and help ensure our advisors remain highly agile in providing the sophisticated, custom experience our private and institutional clients trust us to deliver."
Alternative investments at Jefferies Private Wealth have grown significantly for the past two years.

"We are pleased to be the solution of choice for Jefferies, and other leading institutional investors, to power their curated menu of alternative investment products across private equity, real estate, private credit, and hedge funds," said Rafay Farooqui, Founder and CEO at +SUBSCRIBE.
