Jefferies Hires From BofA, Cowen for Capital Markets

Jefferies Group Inc., the New York- based brokerage that specializes in mid-sized companies, hired Bank of America Corp.’s Ashley Delp to head its U.S. equity syndicate desk.

The firm also named David Bohn, former co-head of private placements at Cowen & Co., to lead equity financing for closely held companies, according to Mark Connelly, Jefferies’ global head of equity capital markets. Delp, 35, and Bohn are among 10 managing directors that will help Connelly, who joined in August from Zurich-based UBS AG, oversee the second-ranked arranger for health care-related offerings in the U.S. this year.
