Conservative, pragmatic and proud of the way we do business
Raymond James Ltd. (RJL) proudly stands as Canada’s largest independent financial services firm—dedicated to helping Canadians turn their dreams into reality and build lasting legacies for generations. We are firmly committed to our values of putting clients first, thinking long-term, acting with integrity and valuing independence.
As a firm, we were founded on the idea of goals-based financial planning, at a time when other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds. This continues to resonate today, where our advisors deliver unbiased, personalized advice that serves clients more effectively than institutions tied to traditional bank ownership.
