As a portfolio manager in Stifel’s Solutions Program, Steve adapts strategies designed to combine customized investment management with the ability to quickly react to market conditions for clients who choose discretionary advisory services. To qualify for this, he demonstrated a commitment to comprehensively addressing his clients’ individual investment needs, complementing investment knowledge and portfolio management skills, and maintaining an outstanding record of client service.

^{The Solutions program requires a minimum investment, which varies by strategy. Ask your Financial Advisor for a Disclosure Brochure, which further outlines the fees, services, exclusions, and disclosures associated with this program. Since all investment decisions in a Solutions account are made by the Financial Advisor without having to receive prior client approval, it is important that Solutions clients have detailed knowledge of the Financial Advisor’s individual investment philosophy and decision-making process before entrusting him or her with their portfolio. You should consider all terms and conditions before deciding whether the Solutions Program and any particular strategy are appropriate for your needs.}
