The two companies will form a “middle-market investment bank” that will beef up their combined research and wealth management capacity.

Thomas Weisel is an investment bank based in San Francisco that is focused on “growth sectors,” especially technology, health care and energy.

“There is virtually no overlap in investment banking and less than a 10 percent overlap in research coverage,” Thomas W. Weisel, head of the bank, said.

Thom Weisel, 69, took the role of Stifel’s co-chairman last month after the company bought his old firm, Thom Weisel Partners Group Inc., for almost $200 million. His new job: parlaying his connections into more underwriting and advisory deals for his employer.

Stifel Financial Corp. and Thomas Weisel Partners Group, Inc. today announced that they have reached a definitive agreement to merge operations. The deal, an all-stock transaction, is valued at more than $300 million.
