RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS JULY 2016 OPERATING DATA
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - In an effort to provide timely information to investors about general trends in our major business segments, we are releasing selected operating data for July 2016. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.
Total securities commissions and fees of $300.0 million increased 2 percent compared to July 2015 and were essentially flat compared to June 2016. The favorable year-over-year comparison was attributable to growth in the Private Client Group segment and Fixed Income division. Compared to the preceding month, the benefit derived from starting the quarter with higher assets in fee-based accounts was offset by lower transactional commissions in both the Private Client Group and Capital Markets segments.
Client assets under administration reached a record $548.2 billion, up 9 percent over July 2015 and 3 percent over June 2016. Financial assets under management also reached a new record of $74.0 billion, increases of 4 percent and 3 percent compared to July 2015 and June 2016, respectively. Growth in client assets was driven by successful retention and recruiting of financial advisors as well as market appreciation.
“Institutional fixed income commissions and trading profits remained solid in July,” said CEO Paul Reilly. “While investment banking revenues were soft during the month, the M&A and underwriting pipelines are healthy.”
Total net loans at Raymond James Bank of $14.6 billion grew 18 percent over last year’s July but declined 1 percent compared to the preceding month, as payoffs/paydowns exceeded originations during the month.
“Our long-term focus on serving advisors and their clients enabled us to achieve new records for both client assets under administration and financial assets under management, which should provide a tailwind for our future results,” Reilly said.
