RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS JANUARY 2024 OPERATING DATA

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) today reported selected operating data for January 2024, in an effort to provide timely information to investors about monthly developments in certain key performance metrics. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.

“Record client assets under administration of $1.38 trillion were attributable to strong advisor retention and recruiting results as well as equity market appreciation,” said Chair and CEO Paul Reilly. “Clients’ domestic cash sweep and Enhanced Savings Program (ESP) balances grew 3% year-over-year, but were down compared to December, as cash sweep balances declined to $42.7 billion and ESP balances increased to $14.8 billion. While pipelines remain healthy, investment banking activity continues to be challenged.”
