Raymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the United States. Since its beginning in 1962, it has always been a different kind of company – embracing long-term planning and methodical decision-making while staying uncompromisingly client focused. When other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning to help individuals reach their goals. It was the first firm to pioneer that concept – and today it supports its advisors with access to a full range of comprehensive resources, helping them to do the same. As of December 31, 2019:

• Founded in 1962; public since 1983
• Approximately $896 billion in client assets
• RJF shareholders’ equity of $6.8 billion
• Market capitalization of approximately $12.4 billion
• More than two times required regulatory capital
• 128 quarters of consecutive profitability*
• Approximately 8,100 financial advisors
• Top-10 municipal underwriting firm**
• Equity research coverage of nearly 1,100 companies

Raymond James Financial was named the best full-service broker in the 2011 SmartMoney Annual Broker Survey for the third time in four years – ranking above Edward Jones, Wells Fargo, UBS, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
