RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL REPORTS APRIL 2019 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 April 2019. Due to the limited nature of this data, a consistent correlation to earnings should not be assumed.
Record client assets under administration of $815.6 billion increased 11% over April 2018 and 2% over March 2019. Record financial assets under management of $142.0 billion increased 7% over April 2018 and 3% over March 2019. The growth of client assets was driven by equity market appreciation and the net addition of financial advisors in the Private Client Group.
“Clients’ domestic cash sweep balances declined 5% compared to the preceding month primarily due to increased allocations to other investments, billing of quarterly fees, and tax-related seasonality,” said Chairman and CEO Paul Reilly. “M&A revenues were strong during the month with a robust pipeline. Further, financial advisor recruiting momentum continues to build and retention remains solid.”
Record net loans at Raymond James Bank of $20.2 billion were up 10% over April 2018 and essentially flat with March 2019.
