Your Career, Your Success, Our Support
Welcome to the Red Bank Branch of Raymond James & Associates.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our branch and to introduce you to our firm, Raymond James & Associates. If you’ve ever considered making a move, you’ve doubtlessly heard time and again about how different things are here. I can personally attest to that difference.
We have a unique culture at Raymond James – one that focuses on creating an intimate relationship with the financial advisor. Here, our number one priority is the people, not the product. We understand how important your clients are to you, and we recognize that many in our industry do not necessarily share our position that the advisor is owner of his or her own book. Among other things, you’ll enjoy:
- Book ownership – We recognize that you own the book of business you’ve worked hard to build – not us. If you decide to leave Raymond James, you’ll take your book with you, and we won’t attempt to solicit your client relationships.*
- Attractive retention bonuses – For advisors who meet specified five-year production requirements, generous grants of restricted stock are made to ensure you share in our success.
- Industry-leading payouts – Our payouts are designed to compensate you simply, fairly and competitively. According to the March 2009 issue of On Wall Street, our payout rates put us on top of virtually every regional wirehouse.
- Freedom – We believe that you are in the best position to determine how your practice should be run. Therefore, you’ll always have complete freedom to run it as you see fit.
- Comprehensive support – As a full-service wealth management firm, we provide you the support you need to successfully grow your business, as well as the freedom to run your practice your way. Our support staff is among the best in the industry, and we humbly serve our advisors with an attitude of gratitude. We seek nothing less than excellence in how we work as a team, and in how we serve our clients.
- Experienced management – With 25 years of experience in the industry, 17 years of which have been as a branch manager, I understand the challenges you face every day. I’m always here to help. I personally believe a branch manager’s role is to serve his or her advisors – not the other way around.
- Award-winning service – In the June 2009 SmartMoney Annual Broker Survey, Raymond James clinched first place among full-service brokers, receiving top ratings for customer satisfaction and account statements.**
- Cutting-edge technology – Nearly 800 information technology associates work to provide reliable, advisor-centric solutions and support to help your practice run as smoothly as possible.
- Advisor retention – Our unique culture and platform attributes to one of the highest employee retention rates in the industry. In 2008, Raymond James was ranked “Highest in Employee Advisor Satisfaction Among Financial Investment Firms in a Tie” in the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Financial Advisor Satisfaction StudySM.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our branch and our firm. I believe you’ll find that we are indeed different from the rest, and that our unique environment is the perfect place to help you take your career to the next level.
I encourage you to contact us in confidence to learn more about the unique opportunity available with our firm.
