PROSPECTUS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                             JEFFERIES GROUP, INC.

                                 438,492 SHARES

                                  COMMON STOCK

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         This Prospectus relates to an aggregate of up to 438,492 shares (the
"Shares") of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of
Jefferies Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), which may be
offered for sale from time to time by any or all of the selling stockholders
(the "Selling Stockholders") named herein.  The Shares will be purchased by the
Selling Stockholders from the Company under the terms of certain agreements
entered into by each of such Selling Stockholders with the Company, Investment
Technology Group, Inc.  ("ITG") and, in some cases, Jefferies & Company, Inc.,
in connection with the termination and modification of certain compensatory
arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries relating to ITG and its
predecessor.  ITG is a subsidiary of the Company which, on May 11, 1994,
consummated an initial public offering of shares of its common stock; the
Company currently owns 80.2% of the outstanding ITG common stock.  Jefferies &
Company, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

         The Selling Stockholders and any brokers executing selling orders on
behalf of the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" for
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in
which event commissions received by such brokers may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.  See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
The Company will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale of the
Shares to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters,
dealers or agents.  The Company and its subsidiaries will receive none of the
proceeds of this offering.

         There is no assurance that any of the Selling Stockholders will sell
any or all of the Shares.  The Company's Common Stock trades in the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol JEFG.  On June 28, 1994, the closing price of
the Company's Common Stock was $36.00 per share in the NASDAQ National Market.

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
           SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
             COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMIS-
               SION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UP-
                ON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.
                     ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
                              A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

            --------------------------------------------------------


         No person has been authorized in connection with the offering made
hereby to give any information or to make any representation not contained in
this Prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representation must
not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company or any subsidiary
or any underwriter.  This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities offered hereby to any
person or by anyone in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such
offer or solicitation.  Neither the delivery of this Prospectus nor any sale
made hereunder shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that the
information contained herein is current as of any date subsequent to the date
hereof.


            --------------------------------------------------------


         One or more supplements to this Prospectus may be filed pursuant to
Rule 424, or otherwise, under the Securities Act to describe any material
arrangements for sale of the Shares differing from the arrangements described
herein, if such arrangements are entered into by the Selling Stockholders.

         The date of this Prospectus is June 30, 1994.

         Under the agreements pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders will
purchase the Shares from the Company, the Company is obligated to cause the
Shares to be registered under the Securities Act.  Such agreements also provide
that each Selling Stockholder shall not sell or otherwise dispose of more than
10% of the Shares purchased by such Selling Stockholder in any calendar
quarter, beginning with the calendar quarter ended June 30, 1994, with any
amount permitted to be disposed of in a calendar quarter but not so disposed of
carried forward to succeeding calendar quarters.  The restriction on the amount
of Shares that may be disposed of in a calendar quarter will not apply in the
event of a change of control of the Company, a tender offer for Company stock,
or a merger of the Company with or into an unaffiliated entity.

         The agreements pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders will
purchase the Shares from the Company also provide that, if prior to the
issuance of the Shares the number of authorized shares of Common Stock are
increased, decreased or exchanged for a different number or kind of security,
or additional shares or new or different shares or other non-cash assets are
distributed with respect to such shares or other securities (whether by reason
of recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse
stock split or other similar transaction), then, in order to prevent dilution
or enlargement of the Selling Stockholders' rights under the agreements, the
Company's Board of Directors will make appropriate and proportionate
adjustments in the number of Shares to be issued and sold under each agreement.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders
(or by their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest).  In addition to any such amount sold hereunder, the Selling
Stockholders may, at the same time, sell any shares of Common Stock owned by
them pursuant to the exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
regardless of whether such shares are Shares covered by this Prospectus.

         Such sales may be made in the Nasdaq National Market, otherwise in the
over-the-counter market, on one or more securities exchanges, or otherwise at
prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current
market price or in negotiated transactions.  The Shares may be sold by one or
more of the following methods, without limitation:  (a) a block trade in which
the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may
position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transactions; (b) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers; (d) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such
exchange; and (e) face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchases
without a broker-dealer.  In effecting sales of the Shares, broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for the participation of other
broker-dealers.  Broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling
Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.  Such
broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of
Shares positioned by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.

         Sales may be effected on behalf of one or more Selling Stockholders by
Jefferies & Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In such
case, Jefferies & Company, Inc. will do no more than execute the order or
orders to sell the Shares as agent for each such Selling Stockholder, and will
receive no more than the usual and customary broker's commission.  The amount
of such sales, if any, is not currently determinable.

         Once the Company has been notified by a Selling Stockholder that any
material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of
Shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary
distribution or a





                                     - 8 -


<PAGE>   9
purchase by a broker-dealer, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed, if
required, pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, disclosing (a) the
name of each such Selling Stockholder and the participating broker-dealer(s);
(b) the number of Shares involved; (c) the price at which such Shares were
sold; (d) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such
broker-dealer(s), where applicable; (e) that such broker-dealer(s) did not
conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by
reference in this Prospectus (as supplemented); and (f) other facts material to
the transaction.

         There is no assurance that any of the Selling Stockholders will sell
any or all of the Shares offered hereby.

         The Company will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale of
the Shares to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters,
dealers or agents.


                                INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's
Bylaws provide for the indemnification under certain conditions of directors,
officers, employees or agents.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
ByLaws or otherwise, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

             Not applicable.


Item 6.      Indemnification of Directors and Officers

             The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended,
provides that no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the
Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary
duty as a director, except for liability:  (i) for any breach of the director's
duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law (involving certain unlawful dividends or stock repurchases) or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The
Certificate of Incorporation further provides that if the Delaware General
Corporation Law is hereafter amended to authorize the further elimination or
limitation of the liability of a director, then the liability of a director of
the Company shall be further eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.  The
Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any amendment, repeal, or
modification of such provisions shall not adversely affect any right or
protection of a director of the Company for any act or omission occurring prior
to the date when such amendment, repeal or modification became effective.

             Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (i)
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
(ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no
reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.  In actions brought by
or in the right of the corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
except that no indemnification





                                     II - 2


<PAGE>   12
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in
which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for
such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court shall deem
proper.  To the extent that such person has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defending any such action, suit or proceeding referred to above or
any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she is entitled to indemnification
for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection therewith.  Expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the
corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or
officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145.
Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and
agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of
directors deems appropriate.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses
provided for, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 is not exclusive of any other
rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and a corporation
may purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities asserted against any
former or current director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a
person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise whether or not the power to indemnify is provided by
the statute.

             The Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws") provide that the Company
is required to indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law
any current or former director or officer (or his testator or intestate) made
or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative, or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of
the Company or is or was serving, at the request of the Company, as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise.  Subject to applicable law,
the Company may indemnify an employee or agent of the corporation to the extent
that and with respect to such proceedings as the board of directors may
determine in its discretion.

             The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
to insure its directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur
while acting in such capacities.  The

Item 9.      Undertakings

                 (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:

                 (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;

                (ii)  To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising
             after the effective date of this registration statement (or the
             most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
             or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
             information set forth in the registration statement; and

               (iii)  To include any material information with respect to the
             plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
             statement or any material change to such information in the
             registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
this registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.

                          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

<PAGE>   15
                          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

                 (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                 (h)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
