RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS OCTOBER 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 October 2016. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.
Total securities commissions and fees of $317 million increased 10 percent compared to October 2015 and were essentially flat with September 2016. Securities commissions and fees in the month benefited from higher Private Client Group asset balances in fee-based accounts at the start of the quarter, which were partially offset by lower institutional fixed income commissions.
Client assets under administration of $599.5 billion were up 19 percent over October 2015 but down 1 percent compared to September 2016, as the S&P 500 index declined 2 percent during the month. Financial assets under management of $75.6 billion increased 10 percent over October 2015 but declined 2 percent compared to September 2016.
Total net loans at Raymond James Bank of $15.2 billion grew 16 percent over last year’s October and were essentially flat compared to September 2016, as loan production was offset by elevated payoffs during the month.
“In the Capital Market segment, investment banking revenues were soft in October following a very strong month in September, but activity levels remain robust. Trading profits were solid during the month, but have since been challenged by the abrupt increase in bond yields following the presidential election. The S&P 500 index, as well as trading volumes, in both equities and fixed income, have surged post-election,” said CEO Paul Reilly. “The transition of a new presidential administration always creates some uncertainty, which we expect will result in higher levels of market volatility over the next several months. However each of our businesses is well-positioned for any potential volatility, and we will continue to focus on providing advisors the best possible support, so they in turn can continue to serve their clients well.”
