ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF) today reported selected operating results for October 31, 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, "Total client assets and fee-based assets increased 22% and 28%, respectively, from the same period a year ago, as we benefitted from strong market appreciation and our recruiting efforts. However, both metrics declined 1%, versus September 2024 levels, due to market declines. We continue to see positive trends in client cash levels, as client money market and insured product balances increased 2% in October, driven by growth in both Smart Rate and Sweep balances."
