                  The Reporting Person is the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of Jefferies Group, Inc. ("New Group"), a publicly held
company (trading symbol "JEF") engaged in investment banking, securities
brokerage and trading, and other financial services.

                  During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar
misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment,
decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.

                  The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
- -------  --------------------------------------------------

                  The Reporting Person paid no consideration to acquire the
Common Stock of New ITG in connection with the Spin-Off and Merger (as described
below).

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
- -------  -----------------------

                  On April 27, 1999, Jefferies Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Old Group"), completed the tax-free distribution of 100% of the
shares of New Group to the shareholders of Old Group (the "Spin-Off"). Prior to
the Spin-Off, Old Group had transferred to New Group all of the assets of Old
Group, including the brokerage and investment banking businesses conducted by
Old Group's subsidiaries other than Investment Technology Group, Inc. ("Old
ITG"), except for the capital stock of Old ITG. At that time, Old Group owned
more than 80% of the capital stock of Old ITG, with a substantial portion of the
remaining shares of Old ITG being held by the public. Immediately after
completion of the Spin-Off, Old ITG merged with and into Old Group (the
"Merger"), with Old Group thereupon changing its name to Investment Technology
Group, Inc. The Spin-Off and Merger effectively resulted in the complete
separation of the New Group business and the ITG business.

                  The Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of approximately
6.7% of the outstanding Common Stock of Old Group immediately prior to the
Spin-Off and Merger. In the Merger, his beneficial ownership of those shares
continued, now representing beneficial ownership of shares of New ITG.

                  The Reporting Person was a director of Old ITG and continues
to be a director of New ITG.

                  The Reporting Person is holding his shares of New ITG for
investment, and has no plans or proposals of the type referred to in Item 4(a)
through (j) of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person retains the right to change
his investment intent, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock from time to
time (possibly including as compensation for services in his capacity as a
director of New ITG) or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him in any manner permitted by law.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
- -------  -------------------------------------

                  The Reporting Person beneficially owns 1,569,439 shares of New
ITG Common Stock at May 6, 1999, representing approximately 5.1% of the
outstanding class at that date. (Information as to the number of shares
outstanding was furnished by New ITG.) The Reporting Person's beneficial
ownership includes the following: 9,026 shares held as custodian for his
children's accounts; 34,900 shares beneficially owned as a participant under a
trusteed employee benefit plan of New Group, under which participants have sole
voting power and no dispositive power over shares; and 298,008 shares
beneficially owned as a participant under a trusteed employee benefit plan of
New Group, under which participants have sole voting power and limited
dispositive power over shares.

                  The number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Reporting
Person has sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to
direct the vote, sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, or shared
power to dispose or direct the disposition is set forth on the cover page to
this Schedule 13D, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

                  The shares reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting
Person exclude shares of New ITG Common Stock held by the Jefferies Group, Inc.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). Based on the number of shares of
Old Group held by the ESOP at December 31, 1998, the ESOP would hold 2,074,165
shares of New ITG Common Stock, representing 6.7% of the currently outstanding
class. The terms of the ESOP provide for the voting rights associated with
shares held by the ESOP to be passed through and exercised exclusively by the
participants in the ESOP to the extent that such securities are allocated to a
participant's account. The ESOP and the Trustee of the ESOP (Wells Fargo Bank)
may be deemed to have shared dispositive power over the shares held by the
ESOP but no voting power. The Reporting Person is one of four members of a
committee, appointed by the Board of Directors of New Group, which serves as
the Plan Administrator of the ESOP. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial
ownership of the shares held by the ESOP, except to the extent of the shares
allocated to his ESOP account as described above.
