Super Bowl Trivia: Who Is Raymond James?

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — As thousands of
Super Bowl fans pour into Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, the eponymous
financial services firm answers the question, just who is Raymond James?

No, Raymond James isn’t a football player or coach, not a former mayor of
Tampa, nor a men’s clothing line, and not even the founder of the firm that
carries the name. It comes from a merging of companies run by Robert A. James and Edward Raymond in the 1960s.

Today, Raymond James, which has been led since 1970 by Robert’s son, CEO

Tom James, has grown into one of the nation’s largest independent financial
services firms, with 2,200 locations worldwide. The firm is widely recognized
for both its conservative management and developing customized solutions for
clients, from individuals and small business owners to municipalities and
major corporations. In 2008, Raymond James was ranked #1 in investor
satisfaction and #1 in employee advisor satisfaction by J.D. Power and
Associates. To learn more visit raymondjames.com.
