Eagle Asset Management

Founded in 1976, Eagle Asset Management’s sole business is asset management. Eagle offers institutional and individual investors a broad array of equity and fixed income investment strategies crafted to meet long-term goals. Our clients, both global and domestic, entrust approximately $18 billion¹ to an investment philosophy designed to deliver superior, risk-adjusted returns over the long term via both separately managed account and mutual fund platforms.

At Eagle Asset Management, we employ active portfolio managers dedicated to performing hands-on, proprietary research designed to reveal strong companies with discernible competitive advantages and long-term potential. Our approach is underscored by proven long-term track records built by experienced and disciplined investment teams. Our portfolio managers build their respective teams and construct portfolios with a singular goal in mind: To add risk-adjusted alpha over full market cycles. Eagle’s cornerstone principles of intelligence, experience and conviction guide us as we strive to meet the high standards we believe clients expect – and deserve – from their investment managers.

For Raymond James’ corporate clients, we offer Enhanced Cash Management – a fully customized, ultra-short duration portfolio that offers investors a compelling alternative to money market funds and other forms of commingled investments. The primary objectives are preserving principal and maintaining high liquidity. Portfolios consist predominantly of high-quality commercial paper, agency discount notes and Treasury securities, but can involve every sub-sector of debt – including municipal securities. Enhanced Cash also affords investors the ability to extend maturities beyond money market fund limits. Securities are selected from a broad universe and meet specific criteria such as credit quality, interest coverage and stability of the obligor.
