Raymond James welcomes $125 million financial advisor in Herndon, Virginia
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James recently welcomed financial advisor Brad Blaisdell to Raymond James Financial Services (RJFS) – the firm’s independent advisor channel – according to Alex David, Northeast division director for RJFS.
Arriving from Edward Jones, Blaisdell previously managed approximately $125 million in client assets. As president of Blaisdell Wealth Management in Herndon, Virginia, he is joined by office manager Isabel Perez. The practice takes a prudent management approach to serving a variety of clients, who range from business owners, executives and corporate retirement plans to young families, pre-retirees and current retirees.
“First and foremost, my priority in this transition is to offer my clients more robust, sophisticated investment strategies and holistic financial guidance to help them achieve their goals under any market conditions,” said Blaisdell. “Raymond James also empowers me to own my practice and take full responsibility for its success and future growth, while having the freedom to incorporate more personal touches that my clients appreciate. Knowing that I have autonomy but maintain the support of a large firm and its resources is essential.”
Blaisdell offers 20 years of financial services experience and was affiliated with his previous firm for nearly a decade. His experience is backed by the Chartered Financial Consultant® professional designation and a bachelor’s degree in financial management from the Catholic University of America.
