By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 31 - Jefferies Investment Bank has hired Trond Rokholt as a managing director for Jefferies Finance LLC, the firm's associated direct lending company, according to a press release.

Rokholt was previously head of the U.S. loan syndication group at Fortis capital and focused on energy transactions. He was also head of energy investment banking at BancBoston and a managing director in the natural resources group at ING.

"Trond Rokholt has impressive transaction experience in the structuring, underwriting and distribution of non-investment grade energy-related loans," said Andrew Booth, president of Jefferies Finance, in a written statement. "His approach mirrors that of Jefferies, pairing deep product knowledge and superb industry expertise."

Jefferies, based in New York, is a global investment bank and institutional securities firm. The firm's broader leveraged finance team completed more than 60 high yield and bank loan deals last year, raising nearly $15 billion.
