About Raymond James

In 1962, Bob James set out to build a different kind of financial services firm – one that put people, planning and principles first. And now, more than 60 years later, Bob’s different kind of firm is one of the leading independent financial services companies in the United States.

Raymond James has grown to become a well-respected, widely recognized multinational firm with distinct business units that serve a variety of clients, from individuals and small business owners to municipalities and major corporations.

Raymond James is committed to diversity and inclusion – to foster an environment where everyone feels valued and everyone can prosper, throughout the firm as well as the communities it serves.

Milestone spotlight

October 19, 1987: Black Monday. While other firms closed their trading desks to minimize internal losses, Raymond James kept its desks open to meet clients’ needs. Because of Raymond James’ agency-based business model and commitment to client service, this was our first, last and only unprofitable quarter since the firm went public.

We can be sure the markets will change over the next 25 years, and that our industry and firm will continue to evolve. What won’t change is our commitment to the values that have driven our success.

By the numbers*

  • 147 consecutive quarters of profitability1
  • Approximately 8,800 financial advisors
  • Approximately $1.57 trillion in total client assets
  • Stable outlook credit ratings of A-, A- and A3 from Fitch, S&P and Moody’s2

It’s been our privilege for more than 60 years to support the goals of our clients and to give back to the communities in which we live and work – and we look forward to continuing to do so for many, many years to come. To take a “scroll” down memory lane, explore our history at raymondjames.com.

Jim and Judy’s story

Jim and Judy were concerned about whether any of their adult children could or should serve as successor trustees or representatives of their estate when the time comes. We worked with Raymond James Trust, which helped them appoint an independent trustee to act on their behalf. They are now content that their family will be taken care of and that their wishes will be carried without the burden or responsibility falling on their children.

Edward’s story

Edward was the proud owner of a business that was doing very well. He thought it was an opportune time to open a second location, but he didn’t want to liquidate his current investments or interrupt his long-term financial plan. So we worked with Raymond James Bank to set up a Securities Based Line of Credit, providing a low-cost source of capital and new inspiration for his big plans.

A Securities Based Line of Credit may not be suitable for all clients. Borrowing on securities based lending products and using securities as collateral may involve a high degree of risk. Market conditions can magnify any potential for loss. If the market turns against the client, he or she may be required to deposit additional securities and/or cash in the account(s) or pay down the loan. The securities in the pledged account(s) may be sold to meet the margin call, and the firm can sell the client’s securities without contacting them. The interest rates charged are determined by the market value of pledged assets and Capital Access.
