Operations
Feltl and Company employs a highly capable and efficient operations staff in its Minneapolis headquarters. Because of their many years of experience, they possess a depth of industry knowledge that few firms can match. And they haven’t forgotten how to use common sense, either.
In addition to its in-house operations staff, Feltl and Company has the resources and strength of its clearing brokerage firm, RBC Correspondent Services (“RBC CS”), a division of RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBC CM”) – one of the largest and most sophisticated investment firms in the world. RBC provides technological systems, programming, and operational capabilities that are second to none. Through RBC, Feltl and Company’s customers may access their investment accounts online 24 hours a day through a RBC program called “Investor Connect“.

In 2000, Stockwalk Group, Inc. acquired R.J. Steichen & Company and merged it with Miller, Johnson & Kuehn and John G. Kinnard and Company to form Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard, Inc. (MJSK). Mr. Feltl was a member of Stockwalk’s Board of Directors, as well as Principal of Capital Markets for MJSK. He left those firms in 2002 to start Feltl and Company.
