BROKER–DEALERS: Fewer Than 1,000 Advisors Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

STIFEL INDEPENDENT ADVISORS

Growth Program

Stifel Independent Advisors’ effective approach to recruiting high-end financial advisors from underrepresented groups, including racial minorities and women, is part of an ongoing thought leadership program on DEI that began when CEO Alex David was appointed to lead the firm. In the past 18 months, SIA’s thought leadership has evolved into an important strategy that informs the firm’s philosophy of valuing, respecting diversity in all its forms, as well as removing systemic issues that do not

align with inclusivity goals. SIA’s thought leadership is about frank conversations with advisors across the firm and with the industry through media publications. It is a strategy combining passion with purpose – enabling the firm to weave DEI into the company’s fabric, while enabling advisors to pursue better outcomes.

Stifel Independent Advisors is a premier independent broker-dealer providing financial advisors with a deep platform of products and services, and a bespoke business model allowing them to grow their business as they see fit. Backed by Stifel, a leader in the financial industry since 1890, and led by President, Alex David, Stifel Independent Advisors can expect a culture that promotes creativity, entrepreneurial thinking, and extensive resources.
