Divisional Director Bill Roney

While rising through the ranks of Roney & Co. – a firm founded by my grandfather, William Roney – I recognized that we would have to look outside our firm to assure our financial advisors had the “critical mass” (products, services, technology) necessary to meet future client needs. I am proud to note that our 1999 merger with Raymond James & Associates gave us these resources, comparable to the largest firms on the street, while still preserving the client-first mentality and the high level of service for which we had been known since our founding in 1925.

The management team of Raymond James & Associates and our back office associates firmly believe that our financial advisors are our clients. Tom James, our chairman has often said, “Those who don’t produce at our firm work for those who do.” Renato Jamett, our branch manager in Dearborn, has been able to reinforce this idea among the financial advisors and support staff with whom he works.

Since joining our firm from a wirehouse in 2000, Renato has created opportunities for everyone to develop relationships with people throughout the firm. This has served the financial advisors in his office well. Among other things, he has been able to bring his branch to the leading edge of our industry’s technology. In addition, he is a valuable advocate for the branch when dealing with matters affecting clients and associates.

I hope you will take some time to visit Renato at our branch located next to the Ritz Carlton in Dearborn.

Sincerely,

Bill Roney
Senior Vice President
