Our financial ratios are strong, positioning us well for the future. We have:
- A stable and growing balance sheet with $3.6 billion in shareholders' equity
- A low leverage ratio of 6.8x
- Equity capital ratios well in excess of regulatory requirements
Defying the industry trend of bank-owned investment firms, Stifel instead acquired a bank in 2007, expressly to support the needs of private clients. As of June 30, 2020, assets at Stifel's banks were $18 billion.
Stifel's public finance practice helps improve communities across the country. We are a leader in:
- Underwriting bonds for K-12 public school systems across the U.S.
- Financing housing projects that serve low- and moderate-income families
- Assisting state and local government entities in raising capital to improve infrastructure and other projects
- Working with institutions of higher education of all sizes around the country
Figures are as of December 31, 2019, unless otherwise stated.
