Raymond James names Horace Carter co-head of Fixed Income Capital Markets

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James announced today that Horace Carter has been appointed co-head of the firm’s Fixed Income Capital Markets division effective Jan. 1, 2019. Carter previously served as managing director and head of the firm’s Fixed Income Trading group. In his new role, Carter will work alongside current head of Fixed Income Capital Markets Kevin Giddis to guide day-to-day management of the division’s sales, trading, research and underwriting operations, which support institutional and retail clients.

Carter joined Raymond James in 2012 as part of the firm’s acquisition of Morgan Keegan, where he began his fixed income career in 1993. During his more than 25 years in the division, Carter has held a number of positions, spending the last 11 years as head of Fixed Income Trading.

“Horace is a respected leader and skilled market observer who will continue to strengthen Raymond James’ position as a leader in fixed income capital markets,” said John Carson, president of Raymond James. “His 25-plus years of experience provide broad industry and institutional knowledge that will serve him well in his new position. Horace has the full support of Kevin and me as they partner to lead our highly-regarded team of professionals.”    

“Kevin has been a tremendous leader and mentor, and I’m thrilled to join him in heading the Fixed Income team,” Carter said. “Our top priority remains best serving the interests and needs of our clients, which starts with retaining and recruiting the industry’s top talent and keeping Raymond James Fixed Income as a recognized leader in the space.”
