Equity sales, trading & syndicate

Syndicate

The Equity Syndicate Department coordinates marketing, distribution, pricing, and stabilization of Raymond James’ managed equity offerings. Our marketing objective is to generate strong demand through four broad distribution channels:

  • Retail System – More than 5,500 financial advisors.
  • Domestic Institutional Investors – More than 1,000 active domestic accounts.
  • International Institutional Investors – More than 800 active international accounts that invest in U.S. Securities.
  • Syndicate Group of Firms

Raymond James’ financial advisors and domestic and international salespeople target potential shareholders with long-term investment strategies. Our goals in the formation of a syndicate group are to:

  • Broaden awareness of the issuing company through our distribution capabilities.
  • Target syndicate members that have the potential to become additional market makers, and provide research coverage.
  • Work with company management teams to strategically price each offering in the best interest of the issuing company and its new retail and institutional investors.
  • Continue the relationship with the issuing company post-offering.
