Jefferies LLC today announced that it has entered into an
alliance with BlueStar Indexes in Israel. Under the agreement,
Jefferies will distribute to its global base of institutional and
wealth management clients co-branded BlueStar market commentary on
the Israeli capital markets and provide access to the benchmark
BlueStar Indexes for Israeli equities and bonds. The initial
co-branded report will be distributed in early August and monthly
thereafter.
BlueStar Indexes is a leading provider of market analysis and
investment solutions for the Israeli capital markets, including
data and insights on the Israeli equity market and a family of
benchmarks that track Israeli companies listed worldwide.
BlueStar’s insights provide a unique global perspective on Israel’s
economy, its equity and fixed income markets, and the key sectors
driving investment performance in the Israeli market.
“This arrangement with BlueStar, a thought leader on the Israel
capital markets, will provide Jefferies’ clients with insights on
Israel’s economic outlook, macroeconomic policies and performance
of the stock market,” commented Peter Forlenza, Global Head of
Equities at Jefferies. “The distribution of such market
intelligence and access to Indexes will be very helpful to our
global institutional and wealth management clients seeking exposure
to a broadly-defined universe of Israeli technology companies and
related investment products.”
"BlueStar is thrilled to partner with Jefferies in disseminating
our unique Israel market intelligence, indexes and data to
Jefferies’ vast investor client base across the U.S., Europe and
Asia," said Steven Schoenfeld, founder and chief investment officer
of BlueStar Indexes. “Furthermore, we believe that our flagship
BIGI® and TA-BIGITech® Israel Equity benchmarks – already tracked
by two US-listed ETFs and five index funds in Israel – will be
valuable tools for Jefferies clients worldwide, and will help
clearly define the Israeli Technology sector.’
“Jefferies has a significant and growing business in Israel
across multiple product and business lines. We are excited to
leverage the focus and capabilities of the strong team at BlueStar
to help us continue to develop our strategic initiatives in Israel
by providing our investors thoughtful insight into this unique,
