The firm delivers industry-leading support, superior client service, and the financial planning and investment resources of a premier financial services company.

The firm’s culture of independence allows us to work closely with you to create custom solutions to your short- and long-term financial challenges.
We’re honoured to partner with a firm whose founding principles of client first, conservatism, independence and integrity remain refreshingly at the forefront, and especially appreciate the priority placed on supporting our relationships with our clients. Those values have helped Raymond James become one of the largest independent financial services firms in our industry, with a long-term track record of stability and growth.
