About Me
Jim has more than 30 years of investment industry experience and joined Stifel in 2014. Prior to joining Stifel, he worked for UBS Financial Services, Huntington Investment Company, Bank of America Private Client Group, Barnett Investments, and First Union Brokerage Services.
Jim focuses his business practice in the areas of wealth management and wealth preservation strategies, alternative investments, and estate and tax planning strategies. He uses asset allocation as a risk management strategy and works with clients, along with their attorneys and accountants, on estate planning strategies and appropriate wealth transfer strategies.
Jim resides in Sarasota. He is an active member of Leadership Sarasota, is a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity, and enjoys University of Florida Gator football.
Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Alternative investments involve a high degree of risk, often engage in leveraging and other speculative investment practices that may increase the risk of investment loss, can be highly illiquid, are not required to provide periodic pricing or valuation information to investors, may involve complex tax structures and delays in distributing tax information, are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as more traditional investments, and often charge high fees, which may erode performance. An investment is appropriate only for investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. Stifel does not provide legal or tax advice. You should consult with your legal and tax advisors regarding your particular situation.
