Built on the principle of putting clients first
When Bob James founded Raymond James, he did so based on a belief that clients deserved more than help with investment decisions, they needed advice that considered their entire financial picture.
Today, that client-focused approach serves clients through 8,482 financial/investment advisors in Canada, the United States, and overseas, collectively managing US$1.18 trillion in client assets. Further, the company has expanded through the years to serve corporations, institutions and municipalities through significant capital markets, banking and asset management services.
Raymond James is one of North America's leading independent full-service investment dealers with an extensive presence across Canada and the United States. Raymond James Ltd. is the Canadian subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, Inc. Established in 1962, our parent firm made its initial public offering in 1983 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange using the ticker symbol RJF.
Raymond James was founded on the principle of always putting the needs of clients first. Our predecessor companies in Canada were doing the same for more than 80 years, and our 3Macs division has a respected legacy of helping individuals and families with their wealth management needs going back to 1849. Today, this principle remains the foundation on which we continue to build our company.
The greatest strength of our firm is our people. Our Canadian executive team provides leadership based on their broad range of expertise and industry experience. Over 1,500 employees and agents across Canada work together in establishing Raymond James as Canada's premier independent investment firm.
We offer a wide-range of services for individual and institutional clients and corporate issuers. Our Advisors have access to a complete offering of high quality investment products and services, providing them with the resources to customize wealth management solutions for their clients. Our Equity Capital Markets division provides expertise in Investment Banking, Research, Corporate Finance, and Institutional Sales & Trading.
