STIFEL SERVICES

Services Available Through Stifel

Estate/Wealth Management Services:

  • Portfolio Review. We provide a complete analysis of your investments and help develop a plan designed to suit your objectives and risk tolerance to help you pursue your goals.  This may include the consideration of alternative investment strategies if appropriate for the client. 
  • Estate Planning Analysis.  We will work with your attorney to review current wills, trusts, property titling, gifting strategies, charitable bequests, and other planning techniques, with potential recommendations to reduce federal estate taxes.  This includes long-term care analysis and college funding strategies.
  • Insurance Review and Analysis.  We will review your life insurance and disability income policies to provide a concise look at the benefits to you and your family.  We will help make sure that the beneficiary designations are properly drafted and that the ownership of the contracts is tax-efficient.  We will also verify with the insurance carriers that the proper riders and guarantees are in effect to make sure these benefits are there for your lifetime and that the premiums are contractually guaranteed for lowest cost.  (Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.)
  • Retirement Plan Analysis.  By studying your accumulation and distribution strategies, we can assist in developing a plan to help maximize your current assets and tax deferrals while minimizing potential estate taxes and costs to your heirs.  We specialize in deferred compensation and defined benefit plans, which have greatly increased our clients' allowable pretax contribution to qualified retirement plans.
