Institutional Distribution System
Raymond James’ municipal and taxable bond institutional sales and trading operations rival those of any Wall Street firm. Our 44 municipal bond professionals are located in our St. Petersburg, Florida, headquarters and regional offices across the nation, including New York, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and Los Angeles. Our institutional sales professionals have well-established relationships with all major institutional investors and bond funds. In addition, our sales force covers many smaller and regional investors often overlooked by other firms. Raymond James has developed a dedicated healthcare trading and underwriting team, which has made our firm the market leader in trading hospital bonds rated “A” or below. Our secondary market strength assures the best possible pricing in the new issue market, as institutions prefer to purchase bonds from a firm like Raymond James that will provide them with liquidity going forward as markets change.
