Advisor Bill of Rights
At Raymond James, we trust you to determine the best course of action for your business. We trust you to create investment plans that will meet your clients’ financial goals and help their dreams come true. Our strong commitment to professionals like you led to the creation of the firm’s Financial Advisor Bill of Rights.
- You own your client base, including the right to sell it.*
- You develop and operate your practice with our assistance, not constraints.
- You’re free to work with any retail client, while respecting existing Raymond James advisor-client relationships.
- You have access to world-class resources within a regional firm environment that puts the focus on you.
- You can count on our financial strength to support your business, even when the marketplace is challenging.
- You benefit from the stability of our firm, a subsidiary of an independent, public company traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
- You are never influenced to do anything that’s not in your clients’ best interests – no sales quotas, account size restrictions, product pushes or ticket charges designed to influence your decisions.
- You’re entitled to enthusiastic support from associates throughout the Raymond James family.
- You will be fairly compensated, and can expect a consistent pay schedule without haircuts on insurance and annuities or holdbacks on dealer allowances.
*While book ownership is offered through most of Raymond James’ affiliation options, is not the typical arrangement with advisors who affiliate through the Bank & Credit Union Division, as books are essentially comprised of the financial institution’s clients. However, certain exceptions may apply.
