Raymond James was founded by Bob James because he believed that his clients needed more than just investment advice. They also required financial planning that took into account their whole picture. The client-focused approach is still in place today. Client accounts are served by approximately 8700 financial advisors across the United States and Canada. The company also serves municipalities, corporations, and institutions through its extensive capital markets, asset management, and banking services. We are focused on you and your financial health. We believe that planning and advice must go beyond asset allocation. Planning and advice should be about managing your whole life. It's all the ups and downs. Raymond James' financial advisors can help you put it together by providing sophisticated advice and creating a plan that will last for the long term.
