Consolidated Financial Investments, Inc.
Consolidated Financial Investments, herein termed CFII,
is a privately owned discount brokerage firm located in
Clayton, Missouri.
Alan Stiffelman and Norm Tice established CFII in 1988
with the goal of offering individual investors high
quality customer service by providing low cost access to
the financial markets.
Alan Stiffelman, president of CFII, has been in the
securities business for over 20 years. He was
previously associated with Merrill Lynch, Paine Webber
and Blunt Ellis & Loewi, prior to founding CFII.
Norm Tice was involved in the banking and financial
services industry for over 40 years where he has served
as an officer of and currently serves on the board of
directors of several public agencies, private
corporations and charitable organizations.
CFII provides the tools for individuals who are
comfortable making their own investment decisions. As a
Discount Broker, we do not give advice or stock
recommendations. Rather, our company makes available a
variety of financial products and services to meet your
investment needs.
Securities in customer accounts carried by CFII are well
protected. J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. serves as
our Clearing Agent and is custodian for all cash and
securities. CFII and J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp.
are members of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection
Corporation), which was created by Congress to protect
customers of securities brokers and dealers and to
promote public confidence in the US securities markets.
The protection provided by SIPC is relevant only in the
event the broker-dealer that carries a customer's
account becomes insolvent and is liquidated. SIPC
protects accounts against such a shortfall for up to
$500,000 per account (of which up to $100,000 may be for
cash claims). In addition to the coverage provided by
SIPC, J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp. has obtained an excess
securities bond (the "Excess SIPC Bond"), which will be
available to satisfy any remaining shortfall in the
return of securities and cash to customers. The Excess
SIPC Bond, which provides protection in addition to the
primary protection payable by SIPC, is issued by
Customer Asset Protection Company ("CAPCO"), which
enjoys a credit and financial strength rating of A+ from
Standard & Poor's. If the SIPC Fund proves insufficient
to satisfy customers' claims, SIPC can draw upon a $1
billion line of credit that it has with the SEC, which,
in turn borrows from the US Treasury. Of course, neither
the SIPC nor J.P. Morgan Clearing Corp.’s private
insurance protect against losses from the rise or fall
in market value of your investments.
We are also members of the American Association of
Individual Investors (AAII). AAII is a
comprehensive on-line guide to investing, developed to
assist individuals in becoming effective managers of
their own assets.
