Segment Information
Segment Information
Our operating segments consist of our consolidated businesses, which offer different products and services and are managed separately. Our reportable segments, based on qualitative and quantitative requirements, are Jefferies Group and Corporate. Jefferies Group is a global full-service, integrated securities and investment banking firm. 
Corporate assets primarily consist of financial instruments owned, the deferred tax asset (exclusive of Jefferies Group's deferred tax asset), cash and cash equivalents. Corporate revenues primarily include interest income. We do not allocate Corporate revenues or overhead expenses to the operating units.
All other consists of our other financial services businesses and investments and our merchant banking businesses and investments. Our other financial services businesses and investments include the Leucadia Asset Management platform, Foursight Capital, and our investments in Berkadia, HomeFed and FXCM. Our merchant banking businesses and investments primarily include Vitesse Energy Finance, JETX Energy, Idaho Timber and our investments in Spectrum Brands, National Beef, Garcadia, Linkem and Golden Queen. As a result of the announced transactions and our current operating strategy, we have made changes to the corporate segment to reflect the way we currently manage our business, and have reclassified the prior periods to conform to current presentation.
As discussed further in Notes 1 and 24, on June 5, 2018, we sold 48% of National Beef to Marfrig and deconsolidated our investment in National Beef. Results prior to June 5, 2018 are classified in discontinued operations and are not included in the table below. Our retained 31% interest in National Beef is accounted for under the equity method and results subsequent to the June 5, 2018 closing are included in All other in the table below.
Certain information concerning our segments is presented in the following table. Consolidated subsidiaries are reflected as of the date a majority controlling interest was acquired. As discussed above, Jefferies Group is reflected in our consolidated financial statements utilizing a one month lag.
