Item
7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

On
September 14, 2010, Stifel Financial Corp. (the "Company") will present to
analysts at a meeting hosted by Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P.
The presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
The
slides are being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, and the information contained
therein shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated
by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in
such filing. 
The
presentation slides that are attached to this
Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 contain certain statements that may be deemed to be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All
statements in this report not dealing with historical results are
forward-looking and are based on various assumptions. The forward-looking
statements in this report are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by
the statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among other
things, the following possibilities: the ability to successfully integrate and
manage our acquired businesses; a material adverse change in the financial
condition; the risk of borrower, depositor and other customer attrition; a
change in general business and economic conditions; changes in the interest rate
environment, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition;
changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation
and regulation; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory,
geopolitical, and technological factors affecting the companies' operations,
pricing, and services; and other risk factors referred to from time to time in
filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date they are made. The Company
does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances
or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. The
Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking
statements.
