Plans for Growth

Letter from Dennis Zank, President, Raymond James & Associates

Having been with Raymond James for 29 years now, I am well aware of the challenges facing our financial advisors – tests they have been able to meet successfully through their own hard work and expertise.

Since our founding in 1962, we have focused on people, not products. We work diligently to cultivate a culture that values freedom and we are proud of what we believe to be the longest average tenure of branch managers in our industry. We value the contributions of our advisors and respect the relationships they have cultivated with their clients, which is manifested in our practice of acknowledging title of your book to you, the financial advisor.

This holds true for our Chicagoland complex. We are expanding in the area and are interested in speaking with experienced senior producers and producing managers who would like to learn about the opportunity to build new branches for Raymond James & Associates.

Certain production levels are required before we open a new branch and exemplary regulatory records are a must. That said, if your practice is located within this area, I encourage you to meet branch manager, Brian Lampsa, and I look forward to meeting you when you visit our international headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Sincerely,

Dennis Zank President Raymond James & Associates
