Exhibit 99.1
Stifel Reports November 2024 Operating Data
ST. LOUIS, MO, December 19, 2024 – Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported selected operating results for November 30, 2024 in an effort to provide timely information to investors on certain key performance metrics. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.
Ronald J. Kruszewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In November, total client assets under management climbed to a record $514 billion, including a record $197 billion in fee-based assets. This represents a 4% increase from the prior month, driven by strong equity markets and financial advisor recruiting. Client money market and insured product balances increased 3% from October as growth in sweep deposits and Smart Rate balances were comparable. The operating environment for our Institutional Group continues to improve as both client activity levels and investment banking pipelines increased.”
