What We Can Do For You

For over a third of a century, we have assisted many individuals and families in mitigating risks to hard-earned assets with comprehensive tax and estate planning strategies.  In addition to our experience, we draw upon both Stifel’s in-house associates and professionals outside the securities industry, in particular, your accountant and family attorney.  As a result, we have structured and implemented many new investment programs, including retirement plan rollovers and Roth IRA conversions.   We invite you to take full advantage of all the financial services our team offers, putting our collective more than two-thirds of a century of experience in the securities field to maximum benefit for you; especially if your financial needs and objectives have changed or if you are retiring or making a job change.  Please e-mail or give us a call at (314) 292-6212.

  1. Review of total assets for estate planning structuring
  2. Income and estate tax planning review
  3. Asset allocation review (stocks, bonds, cash, and alternatives)
  4. Investment performance review and prospects on an overall portfolio basis

Decisions to roll over or transfer retirement plan or IRA assets should be made with careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages, including investment options and services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and your unique financial needs and retirement planning.  Neither Stifel nor Stifel Financial Advisors provide recommendations with respect to rollovers from an employer-sponsored retirement plan.  Once you inform your Stifel Financial Advisor that you have chosen to roll your retirement assets to an IRA with Stifel, your individual investment needs can be addressed.  Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.  Stifel does not offer or provide tax or legal advice.  You should consult with your tax and legal advisor regarding your particular situation as it pertains to those matters.
