CANFIELD, Ohio – Now in its 135th year in business, it’s safe to say that Stifel is thriving.
With more than 400 offices and 2,300 financial advisers nationwide, Stifel offers a suite of services that address the needs of high-net-worth individuals, affluent families, institutions, municipalities, corporations and more. All services are delivered with the personal attention of a boutique firm, according to Stephen VanSuch, managing director/investments and manager of the Canfield office.
Stifel’s philosophy on investing is grounded in Midwestern values and a tradition of trust, understanding and solid, studied advice, VanSuch says.
Stifel’s growth trajectory from boutique firm to one of the nation’s leading wealth management and investment banking firms began in earnest early this century, with a series of acquisitions that included the 2008 purchase of Butler Wick & Co. – a Youngstown brokerage firm.
The Canfield office has been expanding as underlined by a multitude of hires in the past two years, VanSuch says. The firm is looking to expand its footprint in the Mahoning Valley in the years to come in both office space and workforce.
“Our office’s growth rate in the past two years continues a trend of progress and expansion that we’ve been experiencing for over a decade. In the months to come, we expect to continue to expand our workforce and our office footprint,” says VanSuch.
“We are excited to be considered a leader in the wealth management industry in Youngstown and the surrounding area. This is an exciting time to be affiliated with Stifel for both our associates and our clients.”
