Raymond James provides personalised wealth management solutions for clients and their wealth managers.
We believe you should have the ability to provide clients with personalised solutions that meet their individual needs. We offer three operating models, so you can select the solution that best suits your needs and those of your clients.
We deliver our services in an open-architecture environment, enabling you to select the products and solutions that meet your clients’ specific needs in the most cost-effective manner. You’ll have access to a broad range of assets and tax wrappers, with no requirement to use in-house products, ensuring investment selection remains unbiased.
Raymond James is an LSE member firm with direct market access to 25+ global exchanges. This means we can provide rapid and cost-effective trade execution for listed securities and ensures you pay no broker fees for UK-listed investments, with up to 15 retail service providers polled to ensure best price.
We strive to ensure that you have all the tools and information that you need at your fingertips, so that your branch is kept running smoothly – whichever way you choose to work with us.
Every transition to working with Raymond James is well planned in consultation with you every step of the way, and working at a pace that suits you.
Your Relationship Management team will work in partnership with our head office teams, making sure your experience is smooth and seamless.
Towards the end of your transition, we’ll arrange a comprehensive training plan to introduce you to the wider Raymond James team, our processes and procedures, as well as our systems in depth. We always try to customise where we can, ensuring your specific needs are met.
We typically cover areas such as:
After your first accounts are opened and funded, we’ll arrange a follow-up training session at your office, giving you a extra opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the systems you’ll be using.
In the background, you’ll also have access to full head office support by phone, Zoom or email, so help will be on hand at all times.
The key to a successful transition, in our experience, is in getting your clients’ assets transferred across as quickly as possible. To make that happen, we provide you with a dedicated resource in our Onboarding & Asset Transfers team, with conference calls to keep you informed.
Your relationship management team will guide you through your transition and support you at every stage of your journey.
In the UK, we support over 100 wealth management practices through three operating models:
Our employed affiliation option empowers wealth managers to run their own practice while benefiting from the security of employment. Raymond James takes responsibility for managing office space, hiring and HR support, whilst allowing the wealth manager to fully concentrate on clients and developing their practice.
Wealth managers that choose to work with Raymond James as an independent contractor enjoy all the rewards of running their own practice alongside the resources of a full-service, global financial services firm.
Unlike employed affiliates, our independent contractors are responsible for choosing their office space, hiring, and management of their teams.
If you’re a firm authorised by the FCA seeking a platform partner that understands and can support your investment management offering, our Investment Management Platform offers a highly competitive solution with optimal efficiency and control.
