Raymond James Financial (NYSE-RJF) is a Florida-based diversified holding company providing financial services to individuals, corporations and municipalities through its subsidiary companies. Its three wholly owned broker/dealers (Raymond James & Associates, Raymond James Financial Services and Raymond James Ltd.) and Raymond James Investment Services Limited, a majority-owned independent contractor subsidiary in the United Kingdom, have a total of more than 4,750 financial advisors serving approximately 1.6 million accounts in 2,200 locations throughout the United States, Canada and overseas. In addition, total client assets are currently near $215 billion, of which approximately $37.1 billion are managed by the firm’s asset management subsidiaries.

The company, which is based in St. Petersburg, Florida, began in 1962 as Robert A. James Investments. The current name is the result of the 1964 merger of Robert A. James Investments and Raymond and Associates. Since going public in 1983 (NYSE - RJF), the company has continued to grow with the acquisitions of Roney & Co. in 1999 and Goepel McDermid Inc. in 2000.

In 1998, Raymond James purchased the naming rights purchased to Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium® home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL team. The rights have been extended through 2015.

The Raymond James Financial Center in St. Petersburg is home to the Tom and Mary James/Raymond James Financial Art Collection, one of Florida’s largest private art collections, with over 1,850 pieces including original paintings, sculptures, prints and posters.[1] Salvador Dalί, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol are among the most famous artists on display, but James prides himself in collecting the art of living artists in an effort to boost their popularity. The collection is perhaps most noteworthy due to the abundance (over fifty percent of the collection) of Western /Wildlife pieces.[2]
