When Stifel acquired KBW in 2013, we made a commitment to always remember the 67 KBW associates lost on September 11, 2001. As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, that commitment remains as strong as ever.
KBW's 25th Anniversary of 9/11 documentary honors their legacy by sharing the stories of the next generation. Through personal reflections from the children of those lost, the film highlights resilience, achievement, and hope, showing how lives shaped by tragedy have grown, thrived, and carried that legacy forward.
Featuring reflections from Tom Michaud and Ron Kruszewski, the documentary delivers a powerful message: from unimaginable loss emerged a generation that became The Light That Carries On.
Explore the stories behind the documentary through eight short vignette videos. Seven feature members of the next generation, the children of KBW associates lost on 9/11, who share their personal journeys, accomplishments, and reflections on carrying their loved ones' legacies forward. The series also includes a vignette from KBW CEO Tom Michaud, whose perspective highlights the firm's enduring commitment to remembering the 67 colleagues lost and honoring their legacy 25 years later.
Together, these stories provide a deeper look at the resilience, purpose, and hope that emerged from tragedy, illustrating how the Light That Continued On continues to shine through the lives it touched.
