About

Raymond James & Associates, Inc. is a large, dually registered broker‑dealer and SEC‑registered investment adviser overseeing roughly $501 billion in assets and supported by a nationwide adviser force. The firm serves a broad client base—individuals (including HNW clients), institutional and pension/profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, and state and municipal entities—and offers financial planning, non‑discretionary investment consulting through its Wealth Advisory Services Program, sponsorship of wrap fee advisory programs, and institutional consulting via its Institutional Fiduciary Solutions division.

Advisors at the firm deliver tailored plans based on fact‑finding interviews, risk profiling, and software‑driven analyses (including deterministic and probability modeling), but planning and consulting relationships are generally non‑discretionary with implementation decisions left to the client. RJA and its advisers draw on a range of portfolio management styles and affiliated research and sub‑advisers (equity, fixed income, and alternative strategies), and they supplement advice with firm research and model manager options described in the Brochure.

Noteworthy for a firm of its size, RJA provides municipal advisory services and is affiliated with a municipal advisor while also acting in market‑making and execution roles in municipal and government bonds—an arrangement that is less common among peers. The Brochure also highlights the firm’s SIMPLE IRA Employer Advisory & Consulting Services Program (SIACS), which targets small employers with plan‑level oversight and customizable menus (including American Funds and a QDIA option), and describes the extensive affiliate ecosystem (banks, trust companies, insurance agencies, and in‑house asset managers) and related conflicts that the firm manages through disclosures and supervisory policies.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
