About Raymond James
Raymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the United States. Since its beginning in 1962, it has always been a different kind of company – embracing long-term planning and methodical decision-making while staying uncompromisingly client focused. When other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning to help individuals reach their goals. It was the first firm to pioneer that concept – and today it supports its advisors with access to a full range of comprehensive resources, helping them to do the same.
- Approximately in 5,400 financial advisors in 2,400 locations throughout the United States, Canada and overseas
- More than 2 million client accounts
- $270 billion in client assets
- $35 billion managed by its subsidiary asset managers
