 Exhibit 10.1 

STIFEL FINANCIAL CORP. 

2001 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN 

(2018 RESTATEMENT) 

1. Background and Purpose. Stifel Financial Corp. (the “Corporation”) adopted the Stifel Financial Corp. 2001
Incentive Stock Plan (the “ISP”) at its annual stockholder meeting in 2001 and has amended it from time to time, with the consent of the Corporation’s stockholders, most recently in 2016. The Corporation adopted the Equity Incentive
Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “EIP”) at its annual shareholder meeting in 2000, and has amended it from time to time, with the consent of the Corporation’s stockholders, most recently in
2016. The Corporation now wishes to have a single equity incentive plan for key employees, directors, officers and consultants and has amended and restated the ISP into this 2001 Incentive Stock Plan (2018 Restatement) (as it may be further amended
from time to time, the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to encourage key employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Corporation as may be designated in the manner set forth in this Plan, to be granted benefits of the kind set
forth in this Plan on a basis mutually advantageous with the Corporation and thus provide an incentive for such recipients to continue to contribute to the success of the Corporation and align the with the interests of the stockholders of the
Corporation. 
 2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Administrator”). 
 The authority to select persons eligible to participate
in the Plan, to grant benefits in accordance with the Plan, and to establish the timing, pricing, amount and other terms and conditions of such grants (which need not be uniform with respect to the various participants or with respect to different
grants to the same participant), may be exercised by the Administrator in its sole discretion, or by any member of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors upon a specific recommendation from the Executive Committee of Stifel,
Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated. 
 Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have exclusive authority to
interpret and administer the Plan, to establish appropriate rules relating to the Plan, to delegate some or all of its authority under the Plan and to take all such steps and make all such determinations in connection with the Plan and the benefits
granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem necessary or advisable. 
 The Board of Directors in its discretion may delegate and assign
specified duties and authority of the Administrator to any other committee and retain the other duties and authority of the Administrator to itself. 

3. Shares Reserved Under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 12 (relating to adjustment for changes in capital
stock), the Plan shall reserve for issuance under the Plan an aggregate of 24,525,000 shares of common stock, $0.15 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Corporation (the “Initial Reserve”), which may be authorized but
unissued or treasury shares including shares reacquired by the Corporation such as shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions. However, subject to Section 12 (relating to adjustment for changes in capital stock), 900,000
shares of Common Stock in the Initial Reserve shall be reserved only for participants who are non-employee directors and no other portion of the reserve shall be utilized for such non-employee directors (the “Directors’ Reserve”). For clarity, each of the Initial Reserve and the Directors’ Reserve shall be inclusive of prior utilization under the ISP and ESP, respectively,
such that no additional shares shall be reserved under the Plan as under the ISP and ESP. 
 As used in this Section 3, the term
“Plan Maximum” shall refer to the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation that are available for grant of awards pursuant to the Plan with respect to the Initial Reserve or Directors’ Reserve, as applicable. Stock
underlying outstanding options, stock appreciation rights, or performance awards will reduce the Plan Maximum while such options, stock appreciation rights or performance 

  
 1 

 
awards are outstanding. Shares underlying expired, canceled or forfeited options, stock appreciation rights or performance awards shall be added back to the Plan Maximum. When the exercise price
of stock options is paid by delivery of shares of Common Stock, or if the Administrator approves the withholding of shares from a distribution in payment of the exercise price or tax withholding obligations relating to any award, the Plan Maximum
shall be reduced by the net (rather than the gross) number of shares issued pursuant to such award, regardless of the number of shares surrendered or withheld in payment. If the Administrator approves the payment of cash to an optionee equal to the
difference between the fair market value and the exercise price of stock subject to an option, or if a stock appreciation right is exercised for cash or a performance or other award is paid in cash, the Plan Maximum shall be increased by the number
of shares with respect to which such payment is applicable. Restricted stock issued pursuant to the Plan will reduce the Plan Maximum while outstanding even while subject to restrictions. Shares of restricted stock shall be added back to the Plan
Maximum if such restricted stock is forfeited or is returned to the Corporation as part of a restructuring of benefits granted pursuant to the Plan or otherwise. When shares of Common Stock are transferred in satisfaction of a stock unit, the Plan
Maximum shall be reduced by the net (rather than the gross) number of shares issued, regardless of the number of shares withheld in payment of tax withholding obligations. For purposes of applying the foregoing, awards granted under the ISP or EIP
shall be treated as if they were granted under this Plan. 
 4. Participants. Participants will consist of such officers,
directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation or any designated subsidiary as the Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine. Designation of a participant in any year shall not require the Administrator to designate such person
to receive a benefit in any other year or to receive the same type or amount of benefit as granted to the participant in any other year or as granted to any other participant in any year. The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems
pertinent in selecting participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective benefits. 
 5. Types of
Benefits. The following benefits may be granted under the Plan: (a) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (b) restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”); (c) performance awards (“Performance Awards”); (d) incentive
stock options (“ISOs”); (e) nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”); and (f) Stock Units, all as described below. In all events, the per-share exercise or purchase price of
any SARs, ISOs or NQSOs granted under the Plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the award, provided that the per-share exercise price of
any ISOs granted to individuals described in Code Section 422(b)(6) (relating to certain 10% shareholders) shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the option. 

6. Stock Appreciation Rights. A SAR is the right to receive all or a portion of the difference between the fair market value of
a share of Common Stock at the time of exercise of the SAR and the exercise price of the SAR established by the Administrator, subject to such terms and conditions set forth in a SAR agreement as may be established by the Administrator in its sole
discretion. At the discretion of the Administrator, SARs may be exercised: (a) in lieu of exercise of an option, (b) in conjunction with the exercise of an option, (c) upon lapse of an option, (d) independent of an option or
(e) each of the above in connection with a previously awarded option under the Plan. If the option referred to in (a), (b) or (c) above qualified as an ISO pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, the related SAR shall comply with the
applicable provisions of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder. At the time of grant, the Administrator may establish, in its sole discretion, a maximum amount per share which will be payable upon exercise of a SAR, and may impose
conditions on exercise of a SAR. At the discretion of the Administrator, payment for SARs may be made in cash or shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or in a combination thereof. SARs will be exercisable not later than ten years after the date
they are granted and will expire in accordance with the terms established by the Administrator. 
 7. Restricted Stock.
Restricted Stock is Common Stock of the Corporation issued or transferred under the Plan (other than upon exercise of stock options or as Performance Awards) at any purchase price less than the fair market value thereof on the date of issuance or
transfer, or as a bonus, subject to such terms and conditions 

  
 2 

 
set forth in a Restricted Stock agreement as may be established by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In the case of any Restricted Stock: 

(a) The purchase price, if any, will be determined by the Administrator. 

(b) The period of restriction shall be established by the Administrator for any grants of Restricted Stock; 

(c) Restricted Stock may be subject to (i) restrictions on the sale or other disposition thereof; (ii) rights of the
Corporation to reacquire such Restricted Stock at the purchase price, if any, originally paid therefor upon termination of the employee’s employment or the participant’s service to the Corporation or its subsidiaries within specified
periods; (iii) representation by the participant that he or she intends to acquire Restricted Stock for investment and not for resale; and (iv) such other restrictions, conditions and terms as the Administrator deems appropriate. 

(d) The participant shall be entitled to all dividends paid with respect to Restricted Stock during the period of restriction
and shall not be required to return any such dividends to the Corporation in the event of the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock. 

(e) The participant shall be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock during the period of restriction. 

(f) The Administrator shall determine whether Restricted Stock is to be delivered to the participant with an appropriate legend
imprinted on the certificate or if the shares are to be issued in the name of a nominee or deposited in escrow pending removal of the restrictions. 

8. Performance Awards. Performance Awards are Common Stock of the Corporation, monetary units or some combination thereof, to be
issued without any payment therefor, in the event that certain performance goals established by the Administrator are achieved over a period of time designated by the Administrator, but not in any event more than five years. The goals established by
the Administrator may include return on average total capital employed, earnings per share, increases in share price or such other goals as may be established by the Administrator. In the event the minimum corporate goal is not achieved at the
conclusion of the period, no payment shall be made to the participant. Actual payment of the award earned shall be in cash or in Common Stock of the Corporation or in a combination of both, as the Administrator in its sole discretion determines. If
Common Stock of the Corporation is used, the participant shall not have the right to vote and receive dividends until the goals are achieved and the actual shares are issued. 

9. Incentive Stock Options. ISOs are stock options issued to employees to purchase shares of Common Stock at not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the shares on the date the option is granted, subject to such terms and conditions set forth in an option agreement as may be established by the Administrator in its sole discretion that conform to the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code. Said purchase price may be paid: (a) by check or (b), in the discretion of the Administrator, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation owned by the participant, or (c), in the discretion of the
Administrator, by a combination of any of the foregoing, in the manner provided in the option agreement. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time an option is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the
first time by an optionee during any calendar year (under all option plans of the Corporation and its subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000 (and any options granted in excess of this amount will be NQSOs). 

10. Nonqualified Stock Options. NQSOs are nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock at purchase prices
established by the Administrator on the date the options are granted, subject to such terms and conditions set forth in an option agreement as may be established by the Administrator in its sole discretion. The purchase price may be paid:
(a) by check or (b), in the discretion of the Administrator, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation owned by the participant, or simply by delivering to the participant upon exercise of the option only the net number of
shares of Common Stock with a value equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares subject to the option and the exercise price of the option, or (c), in the discretion of the Administrator, by a combination of any of the
foregoing, in the manner provided in 

  
 3 

 
the option agreement. NQSOs granted after the date of stockholder approval of the Plan shall be exercisable no later than ten years after the date they are granted. 

11. Stock Units. A Stock Unit represents the right to receive a share of Common Stock from the Corporation at a designated time
in the future, subject to such terms and conditions set forth in a Stock Unit agreement as may be established by the Administrator in its sole discretion. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, a Stock Unit may be paid in cash or shares of
Common Stock, or a combination thereof. The participant generally does not have the rights of a stockholder until receipt of the Common Stock. The Administrator may in its discretion provide for payments in cash, or adjustment in the number of Stock
Units, equivalent to the dividends the participant would have received if the participant had been the owner of shares of Common Stock instead of the Stock Units.  

12. Adjustment Provisions. 

(a) If the Corporation shall at any time change the number of issued shares of Common Stock without new consideration to the
Corporation (such as by stock dividends or stock splits) or pay any extraordinary cash dividend on shares of Common Stock, the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, the number of shares covered by each outstanding benefit
and/or the exercise price thereof (if applicable) shall be adjusted so that the aggregate consideration payable to the Corporation, if any, and the value of each such benefit shall not be changed. Benefits may also contain provisions for their
continuation or for other equitable adjustments after changes in the Common Stock resulting from reorganization, sale, merger, consolidation, issuance of stock rights or warrants, or similar occurrence. 

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and without affecting the number of shares reserved or available
hereunder, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance or assumption of benefits in connection with any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, or reorganization upon such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate. 

13. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of the Corporation, as defined below, the vesting of all outstanding
SARs, shares of Restricted Stock, ISOs, NQSOs and Stock Units shall be accelerated only to the extent set forth in the applicable agreement established by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 

“Change in Control” means: 

(a) The acquisition by one person, or more than one person acting as a group, of ownership of stock of the Corporation that,
together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Corporation; 

(b) The acquisition by one person, or more than one person acting as a group, of ownership of stock of the Corporation, that
together with stock of the Corporation acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group, constitutes 30% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Corporation; 

(c) A majority of the members of the Board of Directors is replaced during any twelve-month period by directors whose
appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors before the date of the appointment or election; 

(d) One person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on
the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or group) assets from the Corporation that have a total gross fair market value (determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets) equal to or more than 40% of the total
gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Corporation immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. 
 Persons will not be
considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. However, persons will be 

  
 4 

 
considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the
Corporation. 
 This definition of Change in Control shall be interpreted in accordance with, and in a manner that will bring the definition
into compliance with, the regulations under Section 409A of the Code. 
 14. Nontransferability. Each benefit granted
under the Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, NQSOs granted under the Plan may be transferred, without consideration, to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below).
Benefits granted under the Plan shall be exercisable, during the participant’s lifetime, only by the participant or a Permitted Transferee. In the event of the death of a participant, exercise or payment shall be made only: 

(a) By or to the Permitted Transferee, executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased participant or the person or
persons to whom the deceased participant’s rights under the benefit shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution; and 

(b) To the extent that the deceased participant or the Permitted Transferee, as the case may be, was entitled thereto at the
date of his death. 
 For purposes of this Section 14, “Permitted Transferee” shall include: (i) one or more members of the
participant’s family, (ii) one or more trusts for the benefit of the participant and/or one or more members of the participant’s family, or (iii) one or more partnerships (general or limited), corporations, limited liability
companies or other entities in which the aggregate interests of the participant and members of the participant’s family exceed 80% of all interests. For this purpose, the participant’s family shall include only the participant’s
spouse, children and grandchildren. 
 15. Taxes. The Corporation will be authorized to withhold from any amounts payable or
shares deliverable under the Plan, amounts due under applicable federal or state income, social security, payroll, withholding or other tax laws or regulations (and may withhold such greater amount as is permissible under applicable tax, legal,
accounting and other guidance), and to take such other action as the Administrator may deem advisable to enable the Corporation to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any amounts payable or
shares deliverable under the Plan, and to defer such payment or delivery until indemnified to its satisfaction in respect of such obligations. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive shares or other property and to make cash
payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of such tax obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis in the discretion of the Administrator. 

16. Tenure. A participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve the Corporation and its subsidiaries as a director,
officer, employee, consultant or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a participant under the Plan. 

17. Duration, Interpretation, Amendment and Termination. No benefit shall be granted after August 6, 2028. The terms and
conditions applicable to any benefit granted within such period may thereafter be amended or modified by mutual agreement between the Corporation and the participant or such other person as may then have an interest therein. Without the prior
approval of the Corporation’s stockholders, the Corporation will not effect a “repricing” (as defined below) of any stock options or other benefits granted under the terms of the Plan. For purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, a “repricing” shall be deemed to mean any of the following actions or any other action having the same effect: (a) the lowering of the purchase price of an option or other benefit after it is granted; (b) the canceling
of an option or other benefit in exchange for another option or benefit at a time when the purchase price of the cancelled option or benefit exceeds the fair market value of the underlying stock (unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in
connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other similar corporate transaction); (c) the purchase of an option or other benefit for cash or other consideration at a time when the purchase price of the
purchased option or benefit exceeds the fair market value of the underlying stock (unless the purchase occurs in connection with a merger, acquisition, spin-off or other

  
 5 

 
similar corporate transaction); or (d) an action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles. To the extent that any stock options or other benefits which
may be granted within the terms of the Plan would qualify under present or future laws for tax treatment that is beneficial to a recipient, then any such beneficial treatment shall be considered within the intent, purpose and operational purview of
the Plan and the discretion of the Administrator, and to the extent that any such stock options or other benefits would so qualify within the terms of the Plan, the Administrator shall have full and complete authority to grant stock options or other
benefits that so qualify (including the authority to grant, simultaneously or otherwise, stock options or other benefits which do not so qualify) and to prescribe the terms and conditions (which need not be identical as among recipients) in respect
to the grant or exercise of any such stock option or other benefits under the Plan. 
 The Board of Directors may amend the Plan from time
to time or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no amendment of this Plan shall be made without stockholder approval if stockholder approval is required by law, regulation, or stock exchange rule. Further, no amendment of the Plan
shall, without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, (a) increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the Plan or increase the amount or type of benefits that may be granted under the Plan; or (b) modify the
requirements as to eligibility for benefits under the Plan. No action authorized by this paragraph shall reduce the amount of any existing benefit or change the terms and conditions thereof without the participant’s consent. 

18. Effective Date. This 2001 Stifel Financial Corp. Incentive Stock Plan (2018 Restatement) shall become effective as of the
date it was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, August 7, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), provided that the issuance or distribution of any shares of Common Stock under this Plan is subject to approval of this Plan by
the Corporation’s stockholders in accordance with the Corporation’s organizational documents, applicable exchange listing requirements and applicable law and no such issuance or distribution shall occur prior to such approval.
