St. Louis, Missouri-headquartered Stifel serves middle-market clients, specializing in public M&A and equity deals under $1 billion. It also manages venture capital-backed IPOs. The bank also offers equity research. Three years ago, Stifel partnered with Israeli Bank Leumi’s investment banking arm Leumi Partners on a potential government tender. Stifel considers Israel a highly strategic market with robust growth in M&A and capital markets activity, Brad Raymond, Global Head of Investment Banking at Stifel, said in a statement.
