Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
Item 4: Advisory Business
Raymond James (USA) Ltd (“RJLU”) operates as an investment adviser registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and as a full service broker-dealer registered with FINRA. Established in 1998, the
firm is a wholly owned Canadian based subsidiary of Raymond James Ltd, which in turn is owned and operated
by Raymond James Financial Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida (Ticker symbol: RJF). RJLU may provide fee-
based portfolio management services to individuals, corporate entities, trusts, high net worth clients, charitable
organizations, pension/profit sharing plans, and institutional clients. As a registered investment adviser, the
firm serves to actively manage a wide variety of investment portfolios. As part of the Raymond James family
of companies, the firm maintains access to some of the industry’s finest resources which include brokerage, in
depth market research services, an experienced management team, and a broad scope of service offerings.
Generally, there are several fundamental differences between brokerage services and advisory services, which
may vary depending on the characteristics of a particular service. Brokerage services primarily involve
assisting the client with the purchase and sale of securities, with the provision of investment advice being only
incidental to those services. Investment advisory services, on the other hand, primarily involve separately
agreeing with the client to provide investment advice to meet comprehensive long-term financial goals. While
providing advisory services, RJLU and its investment adviser representatives have a fiduciary duty to its
advisory clients, must put the client’s interests ahead of its own, and must treat all of its advisory clients fairly
and equitably.
Asset management services (Ambassador)
The firm provides asset management services on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. As discussed in
Item 16 of this wrap fee brochure, discretionary asset management means that the firm may act in the client’s
interest by placing trades in the client’s account without first obtaining client approval for each transaction.
The firm may not exercise discretion over a client’s assets without written authorization from the client.
The Ambassador Account utilizes a wrap fee advisory account, offered and administered by Raymond James,
in which the client is provided with ongoing investment advice and monitoring of securities holdings by their
financial advisor. Raymond James acts as a participant as a sponsor and portfolio manager to the wrap fee
program. The client’s financial advisor will supervise their account on a non-discretionary basis (or manage
on a discretionary basis, provided certain qualifications are met), according to the client’s objectives.
Ambassador offers clients the ability to pay an asset-based advisory wrap fee in lieu of a commission for each
investment transaction within the account.
Ambassador-Directed
The firm’s asset management services may include asset allocation recommendations to clients. The firm
provides advice on asset allocation, diversification, and long-term investments as the primary strategies for
pursuing investment objectives. Asset allocation entails the diversification of investments across various asset
classes. The firm typically refrains from making any recommendations towards the short-term holding of
3
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
investments. However, asset allocation and investment recommendations may cause the firm to recommend
the sale of investments which have been held for less than one year in certain cases.
In providing asset management services, RJLU will assist the client in completing suitability forms, including
a client questionnaire, in order to determine the client’s investment objectives, needs, and risk tolerance. Based
on information provided by the client, the firm will tailor its services to the individual needs of the client, using
investment strategies discussed in Item 8 of this wrap fee brochure. In the management of client assets, the
firm may invest, or recommend investment in, a wealth of investment products including, but not limited to,
mutual funds, stocks, bonds, options, interests in limited partnerships and other investments. Clients may
impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
Third Party Platform - Envestnet
RJLU may, when in the client’s interest, recommend that the client participate in the Private Wealth
Management Program offered by Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“Envestnet”), a third party platform
manager and investment adviser. Envestnet operates a technology platform on which the Private Wealth
Management Program functions and renders investment advice, including recommending an appropriate asset
allocation for the client and specific investment managers or investment products. In recommending the
services of Envestnet, RJLU remains an investment adviser to the client and assists the client with program
implementation, model and/or asset allocation selections, and provides continuous monitoring of the client’s
account. The client grants RJLU and Envestnet discretion in this program.
As of November 14, 2025, RJLU has approximately $2,300,000,000 in assets under management, of which
$500,000,000 is discretionary.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Raymond James (USA) Ltd. is compensated for the advisory services described in this wrap fee brochure. The
fee will be charged quarterly in advance, based on the amount of the assets managed by the firm as of the
opening of business on the last business day of each quarter. Fee schedules for the firm and account minimums
can be found in this section. Clients may negotiate asset-based fee with their financial advisor, and such a
decision is at the discretion of the financial advisor. Factors involved in this negotiation may include the nature
and size of the overall client relationship with the financial advisor, the level and type of advisory or other
financial services being or expected to be provided, and Raymond James’ or its affiliates’ policy with respect
to discounts. The client should understand that unless a lower rate has been negotiated, Raymond James will
charge fees based upon the applicable standard fee schedule detailed below for each advisory account program.
While the asset-based fees are negotiable, the standard fee schedule’s asset-level breakpoints and each
applicable fee rate may not be modified in any way. An inherent conflict exists in how Raymond James
handles billing variations from the applicable fee schedule as compensation adjustments can result in higher
compensation to the financial advisor from one advisory program to another. Clients may pay us more or
less than he/she might otherwise pay if the same services were purchased through another service provider.
Clients may negotiate fees with different breakpoints and as a result, may pay a higher fee than as listed in the
standard fee schedule detailed below (but not more than the program’s maximum fee) as a result of fluctuations
4
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements

in the client assets under management and/or account performance. The client is generally assessed an all-
inclusive wrap fee, set forth as follows:

Item 6: What Your Client Should Know About Fee-Based Accounts
By choosing to pay a fee based on assets rather than transactions, clients should understand that the fee may
be higher than a per transaction commission cost during periods of lower trading activity.
Clients should also understand the annual fee charged in advisory accounts is in addition to the management
fees and operating expenses charged by open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds. To the extent that
clients intend to hold fund shares for an extended period of time, these internal fund expenses should be added
to the annual advisory fee when evaluating the costs of a fee-based account. Additionally, certain mutual fund
families impose short-term trading charges (typically 1% to 2% of the original amount invested), which are
generally NOT waived for fee-based accounts.
Fees are prorated for such accounts beginning on any date other than a quarterly start date. All fees remain
negotiable, but at the sole discretion of the firm. Per written agreement/authorization, management fees will
be deducted by the firm from client accounts.
Clients may incur additional fees or expenses in addition to the management fees charged by RJLU. Accounts
with assets invested in mutual funds may incur expenses related to these investments, which may include
marketing and distribution charges. Further, fees may be charged by the brokerage firm and/or custodian
associated with the account for services provided to the account. Additional information about the brokerage
and custodial services recommended by RJLU may be found under Item 12 of this wrap fee brochure.
The firm’s investment adviser representatives may also be registered representatives of RJLU in its capacity
as a FINRA member broker-dealer. As such, these individuals are entitled to receive compensation, generally
in the form of commissions, for the sale of securities-related products, including mutual funds. Where one of
the firm’s investment adviser representatives makes a recommendation to a client, or transacts for a client on
a discretionary basis, that may result in receipt of commissions or other sales-related compensation. This
practice could potentially present a conflict of interest and gives the representative an incentive to recommend
investment products based on the compensation received, rather than on the client’s needs. Where available
and appropriate, RJLU’s investment adviser representatives will transact in, or recommend investment in, load-
waived or no-load mutual funds to avoid this conflict of interest.
5
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
In certain cases, the firm may reduce the amount of advisory fees charged where the receipt of commission-
based compensation presents fair and equal payment for services rendered. This determination remains the
sole decision of RJLU. In cases where portfolio assets pay a 12b-1 fee, the firm will have those fees credited
to the client account in essences reducing net advisory fees charged. Where the receipt of this additional non-
advisory-related compensation presents a conflict of interest, RJLU monitors the business activities of its
associated personnel to ensure that such persons refrain from favoring such incentive-based arrangements.
RJLU maintains its fiduciary obligation to clients by conducting regular oversight of such activities and
maintaining a policy of serving the clients best interests first.
Clients are advised that the services provided by RJLU and its affiliates may be found elsewhere at a reduced
rate, but at the exception of the professional services provided by the firm.
A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of written notice.
Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned,
unpaid fees will be due and payable. The client has the right to terminate an agreement without penalty within
five business days after engagement. All agreements remain non-transferable unless otherwise consented-to in
writing by the client.
Item 7: Performance-Based fees and Side-by-Side Management
RJLU’s investment management services are rendered on an individual basis in consideration for a percentage
of the assets under the firm’s management. Such services do not extend to the management of a pooled group
of funds or the implementation of any incentive or performance-based fees. RJLU provides its asset
management services exclusive of any private fund offerings.
Item 8: Types of Clients
RJLU’s service offerings currently extend to individuals, including high net worth individuals, and trusts.
RJLU may also service other types of clients, including pension/profit sharing plans, charitable organizations,
corporate entities, and institutional clients. RJLU requires a minimum initial investment of $50,000. Client
accounts may be aggregated to meet this minimum. RJLU may waive this minimum requirement at the
discretion of the firm.
Item 9: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
RJLU provides advice on asset allocation, diversification, and long-term investments, and employs several
methods of analysis using a wide variety of resources with respect to its investment management strategies.
The methods of analysis may include the following:
• Fundamental: Fundamental analysis is a general assessment based upon various factors including sale
price, asset value, market structure, and history. RJLU will analyze the financial condition, capabilities
of management, earnings, new products and services, as well as the company’s markets and position
amongst its competitors in order to determine the recommendations made to clients. The primary risk
6
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
in using fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good,
market conditions may negatively impact the security.
• Cyclical: Cyclical analysis is a time based assessment which incorporates past and present performance
to determine future value. The primary risk of using cyclical analysis is that past performance cannot
guarantee to future results.
• Charting and Technical: Charting consists of preparing a technical analysis using diagrams to illustrate
various patterns or progressions in market or account movement. Similar to charting, technical analysis
employs the use of statistical models and quantitative methodologies to evaluate performance and value
over a specified period of time. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than
specific company data in determining the recommendations made to clients, and may involve the use
of charts to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than
the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical
trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there
is no guarantee that CFA will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
The firm’s evaluation of mutual funds includes an analysis of portfolio holdings, investment policies,
management philosophy, historical performance, and the qualifications of advisers, sponsors and distributors.
Historical performance of investments is analyzed over periods that include several market cycles to identify
investments which have demonstrated consistent long-term performance. Clients must note that past
performance is not a guarantee of future results. Affiliates of RJLU may utilize other methods of analysis in
formulating recommendations and making investment decisions.
As RJLU maintains an affiliate relationship with a variety of investment related entities, the firm makes use of
information provided by such affiliates to better formulate its investment management strategies.
Where value and growth remains a mainstay of the firm’s overall investment management strategy, investing
in securities involves a certain amount of risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Where short term
trading methods are employed, the cost of more frequent trades can often incur more expense than that of a
more conservative or long term purchase approach. Questions regarding these risks and/or increased costs
should be directed to the firm and its representatives.
Item 10: Disciplinary Information
As a dually registered broker-dealer and investment adviser, RJLU is obligated to provide clients with
information regarding any legal or disciplinary events that a client may consider material in the evaluation of
RJLU’s advisory services and the integrity of its management. RJLU is currently required to report the
following disclosures:
As broker-dealer, RJLU was subject to a 2006 NASD violation of SEC Rule 17A-4. This Rule requires
brokerage firms to maintain electronic communications records for a period of three years or more. Without
admitting or denying the Association’s findings, RJLU paid a monetary fine of $50,000 to settle the matter
formally.
7
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
Also in 2006, Raymond James Ltd., RJLU’s parent company, settled with Market Regulation Services, Inc.
(“RS”), its Canadian regulator, and agreed to pay a total monetary fine of $525,000 for contravention of RS’
universal market integrity rules relating to client priority, failure to record client consent order making, and
audit trail on numerous occasions from February 2003 to February 2005 and for failing to comply with the
firm’s trading supervision obligations from July 2003 to February 2005.
Further information regarding these events may be found by visiting http://brokercheck.finra.org
Item 11: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
RJLU is a Canadian based wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond James Ltd. Raymond James Ltd. is owned
and operated by Raymond James Financial, Inc., a publically held entity in the United States. RJLU remains
under the control of its Canadian parent company, Raymond James Ltd, a Canadian broker-dealer. RJLU is
also indirectly affiliated with a variety of other investment advisers, brokerage entities, and other financial
institutions. However, the firm’s advisory and brokerage services remain the exclusive domain of RJLU and
RJLU’s advisory activities are in no way conducted or provided through its parent company or any other
affiliate of RJLU.
Item 12: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
As required by Rule 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, RJLU has adopted a Code of Ethics that
sets forth the basic policies of ethical conduct for all managers, officers, and employees of the firm. The Code
of Ethics describes the firm's fiduciary duties and obligations to clients, and sets forth its practice of supervising
the personal securities transactions of employees who maintain access to client information.
The firm, and related persons of the firm, including but not limited to, RJLU’s investment adviser
representatives, may invest in the same securities (or related securities, e.g., warrants, options or futures) that
RJLU or any of its related persons recommend to clients. Some of these investments may be placed at, or
about the same time as, the placement of client securities transactions. This presents a conflict of interest, as
the firm and its related persons may be incented to benefit from client transactions by placing their own
interests ahead of those of the firm’s clients. RJLU requires that client transactions in Reportable Securities
(as this term is defined in the Code of Ethics) be placed ahead of those of the firm or its related persons. Such
transactions remain under strict supervision and subject to regular review by the firm’s compliance staff.
The firm’s investment adviser representatives are also registered representatives of RJLU in its capacity as a
broker-dealer. In their capacity as registered representatives, these personnel may sell securities and receive
commissions for the sale of such securities. This creates an incentive for the representative, in his or her
capacity as an investment adviser representative, to recommend securities products based on the compensation
received rather than on the client’s needs. The representative may also be incented to trade heavily in client
accounts. However, all trading is supervised to ensure that each client’s investment objectives and goals are
being adhered to. Further, as stated in Item 5 above, in certain cases and at the discretion of the firm, RJLU
may reduce the amount of advisory fees charged where the receipt of commission-based compensation presents
fair and equal payment for services rendered. The firm conducts a regular review of all firm-client
8
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
communications and performs routine surveillance of its trading practices to ensure that clients receive the
best possible service overall.
The Code of Ethics is reviewed by the firm no less than annually for modifications and updates in keeping
with the latest securities regulations. A copy of the Code remains available for review upon request.
Item 13: Brokerage Practices
Ambassador-Directed Asset Management Services
All client accounts managed directly by RJLU are held with Pershing, LLC (“Pershing”), who also serves as
clearing agent and custodian. RJLU requires that all transactions be directed through RJLU as broker-dealer.
By directing transactions to a particular broker-dealer, the firm may be unable to achieve favorable execution
of client transactions, and this may cost clients more money.
Not all advisers require client transactions to be directed to a specific broker-dealer, and a conflict of interest
exists when the adviser requires transactions to be directed to its affiliated broker-dealer, as the affiliate will
benefit from the business directed to it. RJLU has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the firm’s
clients. As further discussed below, RJLU periodically evaluates the execution received from the broker-
dealer to ensure clients receive best execution.
Best Execution
The firm also maintains a fiduciary duty to seek the best execution pricing available for client transactions.
While best execution is difficult to define and challenging to measure, there is some consensus that it does not
solely mean the achievement of the best price on a given transaction. Rather, it appears to be a collective
consideration of factors concerning the trade in question. Such factors include the security being traded, the
price of the trade, the speed of the execution, apparent conditions in the market, and the specific needs of the
client.
RJLU’s primary objective when placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for client accounts is to
obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as price, size of order, difficulty of
execution, and broker skill. Based on these criteria, the firm may not necessarily pay the lowest commission
or commission equivalent, as specific transactions can involve specialized services on the part of the broker.
RJLU evaluates daily whether clients are receiving best execution to ensure the services provided by RJLU as
broker-dealer remain competitive and are in the best interest of the firm’s clients. While RJLU’s services are
priced at the most competitive rates available, clients are encouraged to weigh their options and review this
and all other disclosure materials carefully.
Item 14: Review of Accounts
Discretionary Accounts and Non-Discretionary accounts are monitored at least quarterly by the Compliance
Unit, which remains responsible for monitoring the advisers, the advisers’ client accounts, and for oversight
of the supervision process. Reviews include but are not limited to: suitability, concentration, and accounts
managed on a discretionary basis and non-discretionary basis. Branch Managers also conduct trade reviews
on a daily basis.
9
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
The custodian sends clients written statements on a monthly or quarterly basis depending on the level of
activity within the account. Such statements reflect the account value, the holdings within, and the activity
conducted over the previous period. Clients are encouraged to review their statements carefully and to contact
the firm with any questions or concerns regarding same. Clients must also contact the firm immediately with
any changes to their financial situation as such changes may impact the status of their investment account(s).
Item 15: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
RJLU may utilize the services of affiliated and/or unaffiliated firms as referral agents or solicitors to find and
assist with finding new clients and/or business opportunities. In consideration for such services, the firm may
compensate the solicitor with a negotiable percentage of the firm's management fee. In accordance with Rule
206(4)-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, any such arrangements will be in accordance with the terms
of a written agreement between RJLU and the solicitor, and certain disclosures will be made to each referral
client. When required, RJLU will also ensure proper delivery of disclosure documents and compliance with
applicable registration requirements.
Item 16: Custody
Other than the client authorized direct deductions of fees from accounts held by a Pershing, RJLU does not
maintain or accept custody of client funds or securities. All accounts are held in the custody of Pershing, as
qualified custodian. In its capacity as an unaffiliated third party service provider, Pershing serves to reconcile
each client-based securities transaction and operates primarily as the firm’s custodian for such accounts. As
stated previously, clients are encouraged to review their account statements carefully. Questions or concerns
regarding same may be directed to the firm and its personnel.
Item 17: Investment Discretion
Where authorized by the client in writing, RJLU maintains full discretionary authority over managed accounts.
Clients acknowledge same within a written agreement which contains all applicable limitations to such
authority. The firm’s discretionary management extends to the types and amounts of securities purchased or
sold, the timing of same, and the overall decision making authority with respect to following the client-defined
investment objectives and goals, including determination of the broker or dealer to be used and commission
rates to be paid to a broker or dealer for a client’s transactions.
Item 18: Voting Client Securities
RJLU will not vote, nor advise clients how to vote, proxies for securities held in client accounts. The client
maintains the authority and responsibility for the voting of these proxies. The firm and its clients agree to this
by contract. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from the transfer agent, qualified
custodian, or broker-dealer where applicable. Clients may contact RJLU if they have questions about a
particular solicitation.
10
Form ADV Part 2A/2B: Investment Adviser Wrap Fee Brochure and Brochure Supplements
Raymond James (USA) Ltd
FORM ADV Uniform Application for Investment Adviser Registration
Clients participating in the services of Envestnet or other third-party platform should be aware that the separate
account managers providing services to the client under such platform may have the authority to vote proxies
on the client’s behalf. Clients are encouraged to carefully review the disclosure brochures and written
agreements of third party providers and contact with RJLU with any questions regarding a third party’s
authority to vote proxies on the client’s behalf.
Item 19: Financial Information
Under Rule 206(4)-4 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, investment advisers are required to disclose
certain financial information about their business practices that might serve as material to a client’s decision
in choosing an adviser.
As of the date of this filing, RJLU does not require the pre-payment of any fees or maintain any financial
hardships or other conditions that might impair its ability to meet its contractual obligations to clients.
Item 20: Miscellaneous
Business Continuity: As a dually registered investment adviser/broker-dealer, RJLU maintains a business
continuity plan in the event of a disruption in business. Among other issues, the plan details how clients may
access their accounts in the event of an emergency. A copy of the plan is available for review by request.
Privacy: As reflected within the firm’s privacy policy, RJLU prohibits the public disclosure of any client
related nonpublic/personal information, except as required by law. Such client-related information is
maintained in a safe and secure manner at all times. Questions regarding the firm’s privacy policy may be
addressed to the firm and/or appropriate personnel.
