In 1962, Raymond James was founded as a different kind of financial services firm. While other organizations were simply selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning for the individual. This novel approach was one in which financial advisors based their investment decisions on a full understanding of each client's unique needs and goals, enabling informed choices to be made about investment alternatives that would help meet those specific personal objectives. Raymond James pioneered the first Client Bill of Rights - Your Rights and responsibilities as an Investor.
Since its modest beginnings in 1962, the firm has grown into one of the largest financial services firms in the United States, with 2,200 locations worldwide. Raymond James' stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (RJF) as the firm has become a respected, multinational company with distinct business units that serve a variety of clients, from individuals and small business owners to municipalities and major corporations.
