The year in review

Change can be a challenge, but from a position of steady strength, it can also be a choice. Because the purpose and principles of Raymond James are firmly planted, we can weather uncertainty, but more important, we can determine the ways we grow into the future – how fast, how far, how broadly and with whom.

In 2024, we announced and implemented changes rooted in nearly 55 years of the firm’s history.

Reinforcing our roots

To take sure steps into the future, we looked to the strength of our past.

Choosing change

Evolution was a team effort as we empowered a new generation of leaders.

Growing into our future

While succession took center stage, our steady, strategic growth continued unabated.

In his message to shareholders, outgoing chair and CEO Paul Reilly reflects on the succession and successes that shaped 2024.
