Item
7.01  Regulation FD Disclosure.

Stifel Financial Corp. (the
"Company") recently participated in a survey conducted by the publication On
Wall Street and, in doing so, provided previously undisclosed financial
information about the Company, which will be included in the July 2012 issue.
The Company is filing this report to provide certain financial information about
its primary broker-dealer subsidiary, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated
("Stifel Nicolaus"), to conform to the intention of the On Wall Street
article and to accurately reflect the separate results of Stifel Nicolaus.

The financial information of
Stifel Nicolaus provided below has not been made publically available and
therefore, this report serves to make this financial information available to
those who do not have access to the information included in the July 2012 issue
of On Wall Street.
