RAYMOND JAMES LTD. RANKS HIGHEST
IN J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATES 2009 CANADIAN
FULL-SERVICE INVESTOR SATISFACTION STUDY

TORONTO – Raymond James Ltd., a subsidiary company of Raymond James Financial (NYSE-RJF) ranked highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Full Service Canadian Investor Satisfaction Study^SM. “This outstanding result is really a tribute to the efforts of our Financial Advisors and other colleagues across the country who consistently focus on putting their clients interests first,” says Paul Allison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Raymond James Ltd. “We are both grateful and humbled by this honor that our clients have made possible and for the faith they continue to place in our people and our firm.”

The study measures overall investor satisfaction with full-service investment firms based on six factors (in order of importance): advisors; investment performance; convenience; cost; account set-up and offerings; and account statement. Raymond James Ltd. ranks highest among full service investment firms with a score of 747 on a 1,000 point scale and performs particularly well in the advisors; investment performance; account statement; and account set-up and offerings factors.

“To be so positively rated by our clients during such difficult times speaks to the overriding importance every one of our associates puts on meeting clients’ needs, as well as to the firm’s conservative management style and commitment to prudent financial planning,” says Mr. Allison.

Study results are based on experiences and perceptions of investors surveyed in May 2009.

“While all of our colleagues are responsible for this achievement, I am especially proud of the efforts of our advisors and their associates across our Canadian network for their incredible client focus, hard work and dedication,” says Mr. Allison. “At the end of the day, it’s the personal relationships clients have with their advisor and his or her team that are the ultimate test of investor satisfaction.”
