OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH

Raymond James

In 1962, Bob James set out to build a different kind of financial services firm. In the years since, that firm has grown to become a leader in its industry, dedicated to and driven by a focus on independence, integrity, conservative risk management, and always putting clients first.

Michael Englehart, in conjunction with Steward Partners, selected Raymond James as a custodian and platform provider given their strong commitment to best-in-class technology and deep reserve of human intellectual capital. Backed by their world-class resources and cultural alignment, we are able to fulfill our mission to serve select, ultra-wealthy clients with the core tenets of integrity and trust.
Our relationship with Raymond James allows us to consistently and conscientiously put you and your goals at the forefront of our work.

Our affiliation with Raymond James is an important part of how we serve our clients. Raymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in America, and helps support our business by providing access to leading investment research; surrounding our team with experts on a broad range of financial disciplines; offering operational and trading support to our team and clients; and enabling us to access market-leading technologies.
