The consensus where I work is that Stifel tends to cause chaos when it makes an acquisition. While I'm unsure what the basis for this view is, that is what people are saying. My personal view is that Stifel's wealth management business is likely to benefit from the acquisition, while investment banking and equities are likely to be hurt, as Stifel is stating that this part of the company will be operated as a standalone business until it can be sold or spun off. Overall, I believe that Stifel needs to do a better job of integrating the companies that it acquires. As a result of non-integration it currently offers investment banking services under the Stifel, KBW, and Miller Buckfire names, and is now going to have these Sterne Agee remnants operating off to the side as well. Not the best example of a company realizing synergies from its acquisitions.
I would probably wholly agree with you on the lack of synergies. Stifel, in my opinion, seems like it has really struggled with integrating brands.
Missed out on Morgan Keegan, was still looking to expand. Stern the next in line, it seems.
Good for Sterne. Stifel's MM FIG dominance continues....
There was trouble integrating KBW into Stifel which is why a lot of top guys as well as analysts at KBW left for Sandler O'Neill and Sterne. Now they're acquiring Sterne to integrate with KBW which is still getting used to being a part of Stifel? I'm scratching my head.
