Capabilities

Extensive Distribution Capabilities.

At the heart of Raymond James' distribution capabilities are nearly 170 experienced institutional sales people servicing over 5,000 accounts. These professionals are extremely fluent with taxable and tax-exempt municipal bonds and have expertise with all types of bond structures and credits under all market conditions. In addition, our trading and underwriting professionals on our seven municipal desks average more than 20 years in the business.

Our investor coverage includes:

• Retail
  With approximately 8,700 financial advisors serving approximately 3.5 million client accounts in the U.S. and abroad, we have one of the largest retail distribution networks in the country by number of locations and registered representatives.
• Institutional
  Our institutional fixed income sales and trading force of more than 300 professionals is among the 10 largest in the nation*, and has well-established relationships with the major institutional investors and bond funds.
• Middle Market
  Our sales and trading force covers many smaller and regional investors often overlooked by other firms. Access to these second-tier institutional investors allows us to maximize the distribution and pricing efficiency of bonds. We cover the entire spectrum of retail investors, not only high-net-worth individuals, to allow for increased retail participation.
