ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESE

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	9 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF,” the “firm” or the “Company”) is a financial holding company which, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in various financial services activities, including providing investment management services for retail and institutional clients, the underwriting, distribution, trading and brokerage of equity and debt securities and the sale of mutual funds and other investment products. The firm also provides corporate and retail banking services, and trust services. For further information about our business segments, see Note 21 of this Form 10-Q. As used herein, the terms “our,” “we,” or “us” refer to RJF and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RJF and its consolidated subsidiaries that are generally controlled through a majority voting interest. We consolidate all of our 100% owned subsidiaries. In addition, we consolidate any variable interest entity ( “VIE” ) in which we are the primary beneficiary. Additional information on these VIEs is provided in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2018 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2018 , as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 9 of this Form 10-Q. When we do not have a controlling interest in an entity, but we exert significant influence over the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounting estimates and assumptions Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) but is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The nature of our business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2018 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP , we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Effective with the firm’s first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018, we have reclassified certain revenues among income statement line items and renamed certain line items. These reclassifications do not affect the Company’s reported total revenues or the total revenues in any of our segments for any of the previously reported periods. Prior period results have been conformed to the current presentation. In addition to the reclassifications discussed in the preceding paragraph, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTIN

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , there were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies other than the accounting policies adopted or modified as part of our implementation of new or amended accounting guidance, as noted in the following sections. Loans to financial advisors, net We offer loans to financial advisors and certain other key revenue producers, primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance, and retention purposes. We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Of the gross balance outstanding, the portion associated with financial advisors who are no longer affiliated with us was $22 million and $20 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $10 million and $8 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. Recent accounting developments Accounting guidance recently adopted Goodwill - In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment test (ASU 2017-04). Under this amended guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and subsequently recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We early-adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019 , our goodwill impairment test date. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. Revenue recognition - In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to revenue recognition (ASU 2014-09). The new guidance is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs and requires additional disclosures. We adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2018, under a modified retrospective approach for all open contracts as of the date of initial adoption. As such, there was no impact on our prior period results. The primary impact of this guidance was the change in the presentation of certain costs from a net presentation within revenues to a gross presentation, particularly costs related to merger & acquisitions advisory and underwriting transactions and certain administrative costs related to our multi-bank sweep program. These presentation changes had no impact on our net earnings. There were no material changes in timing of revenues recognized associated with the adoption. As a result, adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our net results of operations or financial position. See Note 16 for further information. Financial instruments - In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for financial instruments (ASU 2016-01). Among its provisions, this new guidance generally requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, subject to certain exceptions, and amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. We adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2018, under a modified retrospective approach. As a result, on a prospective basis beginning as of the date of adoption, we record changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities that were previously classified as available-for-sale in net income. Previously, such unrealized gains/(losses) were reflected in other comprehensive income/(loss) (“OCI”). The impact of adopting the new guidance resulted in a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) to retained earnings of an accumulated gain of approximately $4 million at October 1, 2018 . See Note 5 for further information. Statement of Cash Flows (classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments) - In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15). The amended guidance provides guidance on disclosure and classification of certain items within the statements of cash flows. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 , under a retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows and did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. Statement of Cash Flows (restricted cash) - In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows (ASU 2016-18). The guidance requires an entity to include restricted cash and cash equivalents in its total of cash and cash equivalents on its statement of cash flows and to present a reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total of such amounts on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 , under a retrospective approach. As a result of adoption, we recorded a decrease of $765 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 related to reclassifying changes in cash segregated pursuant to regulations from operating activities to the cash and cash equivalents balance in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The total of cash segregated pursuant to regulations and cash and cash equivalents is included in a separate table in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. Definition of a business - In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the definition of a business (ASU 2017-01). This amended guidance clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 , on a prospective basis. The impact of the adoption of this amended guidance is dependent upon acquisition and disposal activities subsequent to the date of adoption. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. Share-based payment awards (modifications) - In May 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting (ASU 2017-09). The amended guidance states an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless certain criteria are met which include that the modified award has the same fair value, vesting conditions and classification as the original award. We adopted the guidance on October 1, 2018 , on a prospective basis. We generally do not modify our share-based payments awards. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. Share-based payment awards (nonemployee) - In June 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance that aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions (ASU 2018-07). The amended guidance states an entity should measure the fair value of the award by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued and, for equity-classified awards, the fair value should be measured on the grant date. The amended guidance also clarifies that nonemployee awards that contain a performance condition are to be measured based on the outcome that is probable and that entities may elect, on an award-by-award basis, to use the expected term or contractual term to measure the award. We early-adopted this standard on October 1, 2018 , using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. Accounting guidance not yet adopted as of June 30, 2019 Lease accounting - In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases (ASU 2016-02). The new guidance and subsequent amendments requires the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by lease agreements with terms greater than twelve months, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will primarily depend upon its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new guidance requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance, including subsequent amendments, is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 . Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. Upon adoption, we will use the alternative modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Our implementation efforts include reviewing existing leases and service contracts, which may include embedded leases. We are near completion with the process of identifying and validating changes to our business policies and processes, systems and controls, and reports to support adoption of the new guidance. This new guidance will increase both our assets and liabilities on our statement of financial condition. We are evaluating the magnitude of such impact. We do not expect a material impact on our results of operations. Credit losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13). The amended guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for credit losses related to certain financial instruments including assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and certain off-balance sheet commitments. The new guidance, and subsequent updates, broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of assets measured either collectively or individually to include historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, replacing the existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. The new guidance expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires new disclosures of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. This new guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 and will be adopted under a modified retrospective approach. Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. We have continued with our implementation and evaluation efforts, which include a cross-functional team to assess the required changes to our credit loss estimation methodologies and systems, as well as the determination of additional data and resources required to comply with the new guidance. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations, which will depend on, among other things, the current and expected macroeconomic conditions and the nature and characteristics of financial assets held by us on the date of adoption. Callable debt securities - In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that requires certain premiums on callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date instead of the contractual life of the security (ASU 2017-08). Discounts on callable debt securities will continue to be amortized to the contractual maturity date. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. Internal use software (cloud computing) - In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (ASU 2018-15). This guidance requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the non-cancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. This amended guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial position and results of operations. Derivatives and hedging (interest rate) - In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance amending Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) to add the overnight index swap (OIS rate) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) to the list of US benchmark interest rates that are eligible to be hedged (ASU 2018-16). This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. Consolidation (decision making fees) - In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance on how all entities evaluate decision-making fees under the variable interest entity guidance (ASU 2018-17). Under the new guidance, to determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportionate basis, rather than in their entirety. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 . Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Effective April 2019, we increased our ownership of ClariVest Asset Management LLC (“ClariVest”) from 45% to 100% making ClariVest a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eagle Asset Management. ClariVest has been included in our consolidated financial statements since our initial investment of the 45% interest as we concluded we were required to consolidate as defined by accounting guidance. The increase in ownership was accounted for as a shareholder’s equity transaction. In April 2019, we completed our acquisition of Silver Lane Advisors LLC (“Silver Lane”), a boutique investment bank focused on merger & acquisition advisory. Silver Lane has been integrated into our Capital Markets segment. We accounted for this acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting with the assets and liabilities of Silver Lane recorded as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values in our consolidated financial statements. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the Silver Lane acquisition was not considered a material acquisition. Silver Lane’s results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from April 1, 2019.

Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements The following tables present the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of a significant majority of our financial instruments classified as level 3. These inputs represent those that a market participant would take into account when pricing these instruments.

(3) During the third fiscal quarter of 2019, an issuer within our ARS preferred portfolio commenced tender offers to which we tendered holdings with a fair value of $40 million as of June 30, 2019 . The tender offers were settled and payment was received in July 2019. (4) Certain investments are valued initially at transaction price and updated as other investment-specific events take place which indicate that a change in the carrying values of these investments is appropriate. Other investment-specific events include such events as our periodic review, significant transactions occur, new developments become known, or we receive information from a fund manager which allows us to update our proportionate share of net assets. Qualitative disclosure about unobservable inputs For our recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in significant unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those unobservable inputs are described in the following sections. Other investments - ARS preferred The future interest rate and prepayment assumptions impacting the valuation of the auction rate securities are directly related. As short-term interest rates rise, the penalty interest rates, which are embedded in most of these securities in the event auctions fail to set the security’s interest rate, also increase. As penalty interest rates rise, we estimate that issuers of the securities will have the economic incentive to refinance (and thus prepay) the securities. As such, increases in interest rates, which would generally result in an earlier prepayment assumption, would have increased the fair value of the securities. Increases in the discount rates would have resulted in a lower fair value of the securities. Private equity investments The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of private equity investments generally relate to the financial performance of the investment entity and the market’s required return on investments from entities in industries in which we hold investments. Increases in the discount rate and/or a later terminal year would have resulted in a lower fair value measurement. Increases in the terminal EBITDA multiple would have resulted in a higher fair value measurement. Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share As more fully described in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K, as a practical expedient, we utilize NAV or its equivalent to determine the recorded value of a portion of our private equity investments portfolio. We utilize NAV when the fund investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and the NAV of the fund is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of investment company accounting, including measurement of the investments at fair value. Our private equity portfolio as of June 30, 2019 included various direct investments, as well as investments in third-party private equity funds and various private equity funds which we sponsor. The portfolio is primarily invested in a broad range of industries including leveraged buyouts, growth capital, distressed capital, venture capital and mezzanine capital. Due to the closed-end nature of certain of our fund investments, such investments cannot be redeemed directly with the funds. Our investment is monetized by distributions received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of those funds, the timing of which is uncertain. The following table presents the recorded value and unfunded commitments related to our private equity investments portfolio. $ in millions Recorded value Unfunded commitment June 30, 2019 Private equity investments measured at NAV $ 87 $ 15 Private equity investments not measured at NAV 59 Total private equity investments $ 146 September 30, 2018 Private equity investments measured at NAV $ 91 $ 18 Private equity investments not measured at NAV 56 Total private equity investments $ 147 Of the total private equity investments, the portions we owned were $101 million and $ 103 million as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. The portions of the private equity investments we did not own were $45 million and $44 million as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively, and were included as a component of noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Many of these fund investments meet the definition of prohibited covered funds as defined by the Volcker Rule enacted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). We have received approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) to continue to hold the majority of our covered fund investments until July 2022. However, our current focus is on the divestiture of this portfolio. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis along with the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the assets classified as level 3.

This table excludes financial instruments that are carried at amounts which approximate fair value. Refer to Note 4 of our 2018 Form 10-K for discussion of the fair value hierarchy classification of our financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value. Effective October 1, 2018, we adopted new accounting guidance (ASU 2016-01), which requires the fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value on our statement of financial condition to be estimated utilizing an exit price and eliminates certain disclosure requirements related to these instruments, including exempting certain financial instruments from disclosure (e.g., demand deposits).

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES	9 Months Ended

Debt Securities, Available-for-sale [Abstract]
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES	AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES Available-for-sale securities are comprised of agency MBS and CMOs owned by Raymond James Bank, N.A. (“RJ Bank”). Refer to the discussion of our available-for-sale securities accounting policies, including the fair value determination process, in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K. As of October 1, 2018, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments (ASU 2016-01), which requires changes in the fair value of equity securities to be recorded in net income. See Note 2 for further information. As a result, on a prospective basis beginning October 1, 2018, unrealized gains/(losses) on our equity securities previously classified and accounted for as available-for-sale are recorded in net income instead of OCI. Accordingly, as of the date of adoption we reclassified approximately $68 million of equity securities, substantially all of which consisted of preferred ARS, from “Available-for-sale securities” to “Other investments” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The following table details the amortized cost and fair values of our available-for-sale securities. $ in millions Cost basis Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Fair value June 30, 2019 Agency residential MBS $ 1,529 $ 17 $ (2 ) $ 1,544 Agency commercial MBS 285 4 — 289 Agency CMOs 1,125 6 (4 ) 1,127 Total available-for-sale securities $ 2,939 $ 27 $ (6 ) $ 2,960 September 30, 2018 Agency residential MBS $ 1,616 $ — $ (40 ) $ 1,576 Agency commercial MBS 47 — — 47 Agency CMOs 1,035 — (30 ) 1,005 Other securities 2 — (1 ) 1 Total RJ Bank available-for-sale securities 2,700 — (71 ) 2,629 ARS preferred 61 6 — 67 Total available-for-sale securities $ 2,761 $ 6 $ (71 ) $ 2,696 See Note 4 for additional information regarding the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The following table details the contractual maturities, amortized cost, carrying values and current yields for our available-for-sale securities. Since our MBS and CMO available-for-sale securities are backed by mortgages, actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

At June 30, 2019 , of the 131 agency MBS and CMOs in an unrealized loss position, six were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and 125 were for 12 months or more. We do not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired due to the guarantee of the full payment of principal and interest, and the fact that we have the ability and intent to hold these securities. At June 30, 2019 , debt securities we held in excess of ten percent of our equity included Federal National Home Mortgage Association (“ FNMA ”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“ FHLMC ”) which had an amortized cost of $1.85 billion and $833 million , respectively, and a fair value of $1.86 billion and $839 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , there were no sales of agency MBS or CMO available-for-sale securities.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES	DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES Our derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value and are included in “Derivative assets” and “Derivative liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Cash flows related to our derivatives are included within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The significant accounting policies governing our derivatives, including our methodologies for determining fair value, are described in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K. Derivatives arising from our fixed income business operations We enter into interest rate derivatives in our fixed income business to facilitate client transactions or to actively manage risk exposures that arise from our client activity, including a portion of our trading inventory. The majority of these derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter market and are executed directly with another counterparty or are cleared and settled through a clearing organization. We also facilitate matched book derivative transactions in which Raymond James Financial Products, Inc. (“RJFP”), a wholly owned subsidiary, enters into interest rate derivatives with clients. For every derivative RJFP enters into with a client, it also enters into an offsetting derivative on terms that mirror the client transaction with a credit support provider, which is a third-party financial institution. Any collateral required to be exchanged under these derivatives is administered directly between the client and the third-party financial institution. Due to this pass-through transaction structure, RJFP has completely mitigated the market and credit risk on these derivatives. As a result, derivatives for which the fair value is in an asset position have an equal and offsetting derivative liability. RJFP only has credit risk on its uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. The receivable for uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues of RJFP was insignificant as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 . Derivatives arising from RJ Bank’s business operations We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge certain exposures arising out of RJ Bank’s business operations. Each of these activities is described in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K and in the following paragraphs. We enter into three-month forward foreign exchange contracts primarily to hedge the risks related to RJ Bank’s investment in its Canadian subsidiary, as well as their risk resulting from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The majority of these derivatives are designated as net investment hedges. The cash flows associated with certain assets held by RJ Bank provide interest income at fixed interest rates. Therefore, the value of these assets, absent any risk mitigation, is subject to fluctuation based upon changes in market rates of interest over time. RJ Bank enters into floating-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) to, in part, fund these assets and then enters into interest rate contracts which swap variable interest payments on this debt for fixed interest payments. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fix RJ Bank’s cost of funds associated with these assets to mitigate a portion of the market risk. Derivative arising from our acquisition of Alex. Brown As part of our acquisition of Alex. Brown (see Note 3 of our 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the acquisition), we assumed certain DBRSU awards, which will ultimately be settled in Deutsche Bank AG (“DB”) common shares, provided certain performance metrics are achieved. The DBRSU obligation results in a derivative, the fair value and notional of which is measured by multiplying the number of outstanding DBRSU awards to be settled in DB common shares as of the end of the reporting period by the end of reporting period DB share price, as traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Counterparty netting and collateral related to derivatives To reduce credit exposure on certain of our derivative transactions, we may enter into a master netting arrangement that allows for net settlement of all derivatives with each counterparty. In addition, the credit support annex allows parties to the master netting agreement to mitigate their credit risk by requiring the party which is out of the money to post collateral. We accept collateral in the form of cash or other marketable securities. Where permitted, we elect to net-by-counterparty certain derivatives entered into under a legally enforceable master netting agreement and, therefore, the fair value of those derivatives are netted by counterparty on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As we elect to net-by-counterparty the fair value of such derivatives, we also net-by-counterparty cash collateral exchanged as part of those derivative agreements. We may also require certain counterparties to make a deposit at the inception of a derivative agreement, referred to as “initial margin.” This initial margin is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We are also required to maintain deposits with the clearing organizations we utilize to clear certain of our interest rate derivatives. This initial margin is included as a component of “Other investments” or “Available-for-sale securities” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. On a daily basis, we also pay cash to or receive cash from these clearing organizations due to changes in the fair value of the derivatives which they clear. Such payments are referred to as “variation margin” and are considered to be settlement of the related derivatives. Due to the short-term nature of forward foreign exchange contracts, RJ Bank is generally not required to post collateral with and does not generally receive collateral from its respective counterparties. Derivative balances included in our financial statements The following table presents the gross fair value and notional amount of derivatives by product type, the amounts of counterparty and cash collateral netting on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, as well as collateral posted and received under credit support agreements that do not meet the criteria for netting under GAAP.

(2) Although the matched book derivative arrangements do not meet the definition of a master netting arrangement as specified by GAAP, the agreement with the third-party intermediary includes terms that are similar to a master netting agreement. As a result, we present the matched book amounts net in the preceding table. The following table details the gains/(losses) included in AOCI, net of income taxes, on derivatives designated as hedging instruments. These gains/(losses) include any amounts reclassified from AOCI to income during the period. See Note 15 for additional information.

We expect to reclassify an insignificant amount of interest expense out of AOCI and into earnings within the next 12 months . The maximum length of time over which forecasted transactions are or will be hedged is 8 years .

Where we are subject to credit exposure, we perform a credit evaluation of counterparties prior to entering into derivative transactions and we monitor their credit standings. We may require initial margin or collateral from counterparties in the form of cash deposits or other marketable securities to support certain of these obligations as established by the credit threshold specified by the agreement and/or as a result of monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. Our only exposure to credit risk in the matched book derivatives operations is related to our uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues. We are not exposed to market risk on these derivatives due to the pass-through transaction structure previously described. Interest rate and foreign exchange risk We are exposed to interest rate risk related to certain of our interest rate derivatives. We are also exposed to foreign exchange risk related to our forward foreign exchange derivatives. On a daily basis, we monitor our risk exposure on our derivatives based on established limits with respect to a number of factors, including interest rate, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, spread, ratio, basis and volatility risks. These exposures are monitored both on a total portfolio basis and separately for each agreement for selected maturity periods. Derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions that require our debt to maintain an investment-grade rating from one or more of the major credit rating agencies. If our debt were to fall below investment-grade, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could terminate and request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing overnight collateralization on our derivative instruments in liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with such credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position was insignificant as of both June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 .

Offsetting [Abstract]
COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS	COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS Collateralized agreements are securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repurchase agreements”) and securities borrowed. Collateralized financings are securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) and securities loaned. We enter into these transactions in order to facilitate client activities, invest excess cash, acquire securities to cover short positions and finance certain firm activities. The significant accounting policies governing our collateralized agreements and financings are described in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K. For financial statement purposes, we do not offset our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions because the conditions for netting as specified by GAAP are not met. Our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions are governed by master agreements that are widely used by counterparties and that may allow for net settlements of payments in the normal course, as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the parties to the transaction. Although not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, these transactions are included in the following table. Assets Liabilities $ in millions Reverse repurchase agreements Securities borrowed Repurchase agreements Securities loaned June 30, 2019 Gross amounts of recognized assets/liabilities $ 411 $ 306 $ 165 $ 429 Gross amounts offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition — — — — Net amounts presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 411 306 165 429 Gross amounts not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (411 ) (301 ) (165 ) (419 ) Net amounts $ — $ 5 $ — $ 10 September 30, 2018 Gross amounts of recognized assets/liabilities $ 373 $ 255 $ 186 $ 423 Gross amounts offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition — — — — Net amounts presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 373 255 186 423 Gross amounts not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition (373 ) (248 ) (186 ) (408 ) Net amounts $ — $ 7 $ — $ 15 The required market value of the collateral associated with collateralized agreements and financings generally exceeds the amount financed. Accordingly, the total collateral received under reverse repurchase agreements and the total amount of collateral posted under repurchase agreements exceeds the carrying value of these agreements on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. In the event the market value of the securities we pledge as collateral in these activities declines, we may have to post additional collateral or reduce the borrowing amounts. We monitor such levels daily. Collateral received and pledged We receive cash and securities as collateral, primarily in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowed, derivative transactions and client margin loans. The collateral we receive reduces our credit exposure to individual counterparties. In many cases, we are permitted to deliver or repledge financial instruments we have received as collateral in our repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements, other secured borrowings, satisfaction of deposit requirements with clearing organizations, or otherwise meeting either our or our clients’ settlement requirements. The following table presents financial instruments at fair value that we received as collateral, were not included on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and that were available to be delivered or repledged, along with the balances of such instruments that were delivered or repledged, to satisfy one of our purposes previously described. $ in millions June 30, September 30, Collateral we received that was available to be delivered or repledged $ 3,093 $ 3,165 Collateral that we delivered or repledged $ 1,195 $ 1,389 Encumbered assets We pledge certain of our financial instruments to collateralize either repurchase agreements or other secured borrowings, maintain lines of credit, or to satisfy our collateral or settlement requirements with counterparties or clearing organizations who may or may not have the right to deliver or repledge such instruments.

Receivables [Abstract]
BANK LOANS, NET	BANK LOANS, NET Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by RJ Bank and include commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, tax-exempt loans, securities-based and other loans (“SBL and other”), and commercial and residential real estate loans. These receivables are collateralized by first and, to a lesser extent, second mortgages on residential or other real property, other assets of the borrower, a pledge of revenue or are unsecured. See Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of accounting policies related to bank loans and allowances for losses. We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments: C&I, commercial real estate (“CRE”), CRE construction, tax-exempt, residential mortgage, and SBL and other. These portfolio segments also serve as the portfolio loan classes for purposes of credit analysis, except for residential mortgage loans which are further disaggregated into residential first mortgage and residential home equity classes. The following table presents the balances for both the held for sale and held for investment loan portfolios, as well as the associated percentage of each portfolio segment in RJ Bank’s total loan portfolio. “Loans held for sale, net” and “Total loans held for investment, net” in the following table are presented net of unearned income and deferred expenses, which include purchase premiums, purchase discounts and net deferred origination fees and costs.

See Note 12 for more information regarding borrowings from the FHLB. Loans held for sale RJ Bank originated or purchased $522 million and $1.79 billion of loans held for sale during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 , respectively, and $444 million and $1.13 billion during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 respectively. Proceeds from the sale of these held for sale loans amounted to $159 million and $516 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and $166 million and $394 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Net gains resulting from such sales were insignificant in all periods during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . Purchases and sales of loans held for investment The following table presents purchases and sales of any loans held for investment by portfolio segment. $ in millions C&I loans CRE loans Residential mortgage loans Total Three months ended June 30, 2019 Purchases $ 247 $ 10 $ 132 $ 389 Sales $ 7 $ — $ — $ 7 Nine months ended June 30, 2019 Purchases $ 937 $ 35 $ 254 $ 1,226 Sales $ 100 $ — $ — $ 100 Three months ended June 30, 2018 Purchases $ 195 $ 82 $ 123 $ 400 Sales $ 38 $ — $ — $ 38 Nine months ended June 30, 2018 Purchases $ 467 $ 145 $ 217 $ 829 Sales $ 146 $ — $ — $ 146 Sales in the preceding table represent the recorded investment of loans held for investment that were transferred to loans held for sale and subsequently sold to a third party during the respective period. As more fully described in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K, corporate loan (C&I, CRE and CRE construction) sales generally occur as part of our credit management activities.

Other real estate owned, included in “Other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was $3 million at both June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 . The recorded investment in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process was $8 million and $12 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively.

There is no allowance required when the discounted cash flow, collateral value or market value of a loan equals or exceeds the carrying value. These are generally loans in process of foreclosure that have already been adjusted to fair value. The preceding table includes troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) of $10 million and $19 million related to CRE and residential first mortgage loans, respectively, at June 30, 2019 and $21 million of residential first mortgage TDRs at September 30, 2018 .

These classifications are divided into three groups: Not Classified (Pass), Special Mention, and Classified or Adverse Rating (Substandard, Doubtful and Loss). These terms are defined as follows: Pass – Loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less costs to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner. Special Mention – Loans which have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose RJ Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification. Substandard – Loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans with this classification are characterized by the distinct possibility that RJ Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful – Loans which have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently-known facts, conditions and values. Loss – Loans which are considered by management to be uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance on RJ Bank’s books as an asset, without establishment of a specific valuation allowance or charge-off, is not warranted. RJ Bank does not have any loan balances within this classification because, in accordance with its accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible, are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES A VIE requires consolidation by the entity’s primary beneficiary. We evaluate all of the entities in which we are involved to determine if the entity is a VIE and if so, whether we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of our principal involvement with VIEs and the accounting policies regarding determination of whether we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of VIEs. VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary Of the VIEs in which we hold an interest, we have determined that certain limited partnerships which are part of our private equity investments portfolio (“Private Equity Interests”), a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit fund (“LIHTC fund”) in which RJ Bank is an investor and an affiliate of Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. (“RJTCF”) is the managing member, a multi-investor LIHTC fund where RJTCF provides an investor member with a guaranteed return on their investment (“Guaranteed LIHTC Fund”), certain other LIHTC funds and the trust we utilize in connection with restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards granted to certain employees of one of our Canadian subsidiaries (the “Restricted Stock Trust Fund”) require consolidation in our financial statements, as we are deemed the primary beneficiary of such VIEs. The aggregate assets and liabilities of the VIEs we consolidate are provided in the following table. Aggregate assets and aggregate liabilities may differ from the consolidated carrying value of assets and liabilities due to the elimination of intercompany assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIE. $ in millions Aggregate assets Aggregate liabilities June 30, 2019 Private Equity Interests $ 69 $ 4 LIHTC fund in which RJ Bank is an investor member 61 — Guaranteed LIHTC Fund 18 3 Other LIHTC funds 26 28 Restricted Stock Trust Fund 19 19 Total $ 193 $ 54 September 30, 2018 Private Equity Interests $ 67 $ 5 LIHTC fund in which RJ Bank is an investor member 53 — Guaranteed LIHTC Fund 40 3 Other LIHTC funds 18 18 Restricted Stock Trust Fund 14 14 Total $ 192 $ 40 See Note 14 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the commitment related to the Guaranteed LIHTC Fund and Note 9 of our 2018 Form 10-K for information regarding the financing asset associated with this fund.

VIEs where we hold a variable interest but are not the primary beneficiary As discussed in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K, we have concluded that for certain VIE s we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore do not consolidate these VIE s. Such VIE s include certain Private Equity Interests, certain LIHTC funds, and other limited partnerships. Our risk of loss for these VIE s is limited to our investments in, advances to, and/or receivables due from these VIE s. Aggregate assets, liabilities and risk of loss The aggregate assets, liabilities, and our exposure to loss from those VIEs in which we hold a variable interest, but as to which we have concluded we are not the primary beneficiary, are provided in the following table.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL AND INDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET	GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET Our goodwill and identified intangible assets result from various acquisitions. See Notes 2 and 12 of our 2018 Form 10-K for information about our goodwill and intangible assets, including the related accounting policies. We had an addition to goodwill of $7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to our acquisition of Silver Lane. See Note 3 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding this acquisition. We perform goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing on an annual basis or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value or indicate that the asset is impaired. We performed our latest annual impairment testing for our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset as of our January 1, 2019 evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2018 . We performed a qualitative impairment assessment for each of our reporting units that had goodwill, as well as for our indefinite-lived intangible asset. Our qualitative assessments consider macroeconomic indicators, such as trends in equity and fixed income markets, GDP, unemployment rates, interest rates, housing markets and trade policy. We also consider regulatory changes, reporting unit specific results, and changes in key personnel and strategy. Changes in these indicators, and our ability to respond to such changes, may trigger the need for impairment testing at a point other than our annual assessment date. Based upon the outcome of our qualitative assessments, no impairment was identified. No events have occurred since our assessments that would cause us to update this impairment testing.

Savings and money market accounts in the preceding table consist primarily of deposits that are cash balances swept from the client investment accounts maintained at Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJ&A”) to RJ Bank. These balances are held in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured bank accounts through the Raymond James Bank Deposit Program (“RJBDP”).

OTHER BORROWINGS	OTHER BORROWINGS The following table details the components of other borrowings. $ in millions June 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 FHLB advances $ 875 $ 875 Secured lines of credit 50 — Mortgage notes payable and other 20 24 Total other borrowings $ 945 $ 899 Borrowings from the FHLB as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , were comprised of both floating and fixed-rate advances. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the floating-rate advances, which have interest rates that reset quarterly, totaled $850 million . The floating-rate advances mature in December 2020 . We use interest rate swaps to manage the risk of increases in interest rates associated with these floating-rate advances by converting the balances subject to variable interest rates to a fixed interest rate. Refer to Note 6 for information regarding these interest rate swaps, which are accounted for as hedging instruments. As of both June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the fixed-rate advance totaled $25 million and bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.4% . This advance matures in October 2020 . All of the advances were secured by a blanket lien granted to the FHLB on our residential mortgage loan portfolio. The weighted average interest rate on these FHLB advances as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was 2.39% and 2.41% , respectively. On February 19, 2019, RJF and RJ&A entered into an unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit Facility”) which replaced the previous unsecured revolving credit facility agreement (the “RJF Credit Facility”) entered into by RJF. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of February 2024 and the lenders include a number of financial institutions. This committed unsecured borrowing facility provides for maximum borrowings of up to $500 million , with a sublimit of $300 million for RJF, at variable rates of interest. There were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2019 . There is a facility fee associated with the Credit Facility, which varies depending upon RJF ’s credit rating. Based upon RJF ’s credit rating as of June 30, 2019 , the variable rate facility fee, which is applied to the committed amount, was 0.175% per annum. The interest rates for all of our U.S. and Canadian secured and unsecured financing facilities are variable and are based on the Fed Funds rate, London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), a lenders prime rate, or the Canadian prime rate, as applicable. The weighted average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2019 was 3.25% . Borrowings on secured lines of credit were day-to-day and were generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities. In addition, we have other collateralized financings included in “Securities sold under agreements to repurchase” and “Securities loaned” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 7 for information regarding our collateralized financing arrangements. Mortgage notes payable pertain to mortgage loans on certain of our corporate headquarters offices located in St. Petersburg, Florida. These mortgage loans are secured by land, buildings, and improvements. These mortgage loans bear a fixed interest rate of 5.7% with repayment terms of monthly interest and principal debt service and have a January 2023 maturity.

INCOME TAXES

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The income tax provision for interim periods is comprised of tax on ordinary income provided at the most recent estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the tax effect of discrete items. We estimate the annual effective tax rate quarterly based on the forecasted pretax results of our U.S. and non-U.S. operations. Items unrelated to current year ordinary income are recognized entirely in the period identified as a discrete item of tax. These discrete items generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to the actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation and adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions. For discussion of income tax accounting policies and other income tax related information, see Notes 2 and 16 of our 2018 Form 10-K. Effective tax rate Our effective income tax rate was 25.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , which was lower than the 34.8% effective tax rate for fiscal year 2018 . The decrease in the current period effective income tax rate compared to fiscal year 2018 ’s effective income tax rate was due to the prior year remeasurement of our deferred tax assets at a lower enacted federal corporate tax rate, which negatively impacted the prior year’s effective income tax rate by 8.1% , as well as a decrease in the current year’s federal tax rate from 24.5% to 21.0% . Uncertain tax positions We anticipate that the uncertain tax position liability balance will not change significantly over the next twelve months.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES	COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES Commitments and contingencies Loan and underwriting commitments In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments for fixed income and equity underwritings. As of June 30, 2019 , we had three such open underwriting commitments, which were subsequently settled in open market transactions and none of which resulted in a significant loss. As part of our recruiting efforts, we offer loans to prospective financial advisors and certain key revenue producers primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance, and retention purposes (see Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of our accounting policies governing these transactions). These commitments are contingent upon certain events occurring, including, but not limited to, the individual joining us. As of June 30, 2019 , we had made commitments through the extension of formal offers totaling approximately $214 million ; however, it is possible that not all of our offers will be accepted and therefore, we would not fund the total amount of the offers extended. As of June 30, 2019 , $128 million of the total amount extended consisted of unfunded commitments to prospective financial advisors that had accepted our offers, or recently hired producers. Commitments to extend credit and other credit-related financial instruments RJ Bank has outstanding at any time a significant number of commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments such as standby letters of credit and loan purchases, which then extend over varying periods of time. These arrangements are subject to strict underwriting assessments and each customer’s credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Fixed-rate commitments are also subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates and our exposure is limited to the replacement value of those commitments. The following table presents RJ Bank’s commitments to extend credit and other credit-related off-balance sheet financial instruments outstanding. $ in millions June 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 Open-end consumer lines of credit (primarily SBL) $ 8,766 $ 7,332 Commercial lines of credit $ 1,567 $ 1,643 Unfunded loan commitments $ 628 $ 541 Standby letters of credit $ 40 $ 41 Because many of our lending commitments expire without being funded in whole or part, the contractual amounts are not estimates of our actual future credit exposure or future liquidity requirements. We maintain a reserve to provide for potential losses related to the unfunded lending commitments. See Note 8 for further discussion of this reserve for unfunded lending commitments. RJ&A enters into margin lending arrangements which allow customers to borrow against the value of qualifying securities. Margin loans are collateralized by the securities held in the customer’s account at RJ&A. Collateral levels and established credit terms are monitored daily and we require customers to deposit additional collateral or reduce balances as necessary. Investment commitments RJ Bank has committed approximately $81 million as an investor member in a LIHTC fund which has invested in various project partnerships and in which a subsidiary of RJTCF is the managing member (see Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K for information regarding the accounting policies governing these investments). As of June 30, 2019 , RJ Bank had invested $80 million of the committed amount. We had unfunded commitments to various private equity investments of $15 million as of June 30, 2019 . Other commitments RJF has committed an amount of up to $225 million , subject to certain limitations, to either lend to, or guarantee obligations of RJTCF in connection with RJTCF’s low-income housing development/rehabilitation and syndication activities. At June 30, 2019 , RJTCF had $96 million outstanding against this commitment. RJTCF may borrow from RJF in order to make investments in, or fund loans or advances to, either project partnerships that purchase and develop properties qualifying for tax credits or LIHTC funds. Investments in project partnerships are sold to various LIHTC funds, which have third-party investors, and for which RJTCF serves as the managing member or general partner. RJTCF typically sells investments in project partnerships to LIHTC funds within 90 days of their acquisition, and the proceeds from the sales are used to repay RJTCF’s borrowings from RJF. RJTCF may also make short-term loans or advances to project partnerships and LIHTC funds. As a part of our fixed income public finance operations, we enter into forward commitments to purchase agency MBS (see the discussion of these activities within Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K). At June 30, 2019 , we had $301 million principal amount of outstanding forward MBS purchase commitments, which were expected to be purchased within 90 days following commitment. In order to hedge the market interest rate risk to which we would otherwise be exposed between the date of the commitment and the date of sale of the MBS, we enter into TBA security contracts with investors for generic MBS at specific rates and prices to be delivered on settlement dates in the future. We may be subject to loss if the timing of, or the actual amount of, the MBS differs significantly from the term and notional amount of the TBA security contract to which we entered. These TBA securities and related purchase commitments are accounted for at fair value. As of June 30, 2019 , the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were insignificant. Guarantees Our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiaries are required by federal law to be members of the Securities Investors Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). The SIPC fund provides protection up to $500 thousand per client for securities and cash held in client accounts, including a limitation of $250 thousand on claims for cash balances. We have purchased excess SIPC coverage through various syndicates of Lloyd’s of London. For RJ&A, our clearing broker-dealer, the additional protection currently provided has an aggregate firm limit of $750 million for cash and securities, including a sub-limit of $1.9 million per client for cash above basic SIPC. Account protection applies when a SIPC member fails financially and is unable to meet obligations to clients. This coverage does not protect against market fluctuations. RJF has provided an indemnity to Lloyd’s of London against any and all losses they may incur associated with the excess SIPC policies. RJTCF has provided a guaranteed return on investment to a third-party investor in the Guaranteed LIHTC Fund and RJF has guaranteed RJTCF’s performance under the arrangement. Under the terms of the performance guarantee, should the underlying LIHTC project partnerships held by the Guaranteed LIHTC Fund fail to deliver a certain amount of tax credits and other tax benefits to this investor over the next three years , RJTCF is obligated to pay the investor an amount that results in the investor achieving a minimum specified return on their investment. A $5 million financing asset was included in “Other assets,” and a related $5 million liability was included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019 related to this obligation. The maximum exposure to loss under this guarantee was $5 million at June 30, 2019 , which represented the undiscounted future payments due the investor. We guarantee the debt of one of our private equity investments. The amount of such debt, including the undrawn portion of a revolving credit facility, was $14 million as of June 30, 2019 . The debt, which matures in 2021 , is secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower. Legal and regulatory matter contingencies In addition to any matters that may be specifically described in the following sections, in the normal course of our business, we have been named, from time to time, as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, arising in connection with our activities as a diversified financial services institution. RJF and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to regular reviews and inspections by regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. Reviews can result in the imposition of sanctions for regulatory violations, ranging from non-monetary censures to fines and, in serious cases, temporary or permanent suspension from conducting business, or limitations on certain business activities. In addition, regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations institute investigations from time to time into industry practices, which can also result in the imposition of such sanctions. We cannot predict if, how or when such proceedings or investigations will be resolved or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, may be. A large number of factors may contribute to this inherent unpredictability: the proceeding is in its early stages; the damages sought are unspecified, unsupported or uncertain; it is unclear whether a case brought as a class action will be allowed to proceed on that basis; the other party is seeking relief other than or in addition to compensatory damages (including, in the case of regulatory and governmental proceedings, potential fines and penalties); the matters present significant legal uncertainties; we have not engaged in settlement discussions; discovery is not complete; there are significant facts in dispute; and numerous parties are named as defendants (including where it is uncertain how liability might be shared among defendants). We contest liability and/or the amount of damages, as appropriate, in each pending matter. Over the last several years, the level of litigation and investigatory activity (both formal and informal) by government and self-regulatory agencies has increased significantly in the financial services industry. There can be no assurance that material losses will not be incurred from claims that have not yet been asserted or are not yet determined to be material. We may from time to time include in any descriptions of individual matters herein certain quantitative information about the plaintiff’s claim against us as alleged in the plaintiff’s pleadings or other public filings. Although this information may provide insight into the potential magnitude of a matter, it does not represent our estimate of reasonably possible loss or our judgment as to any currently appropriate accrual related thereto. Subject to the foregoing, we believe, after consultation with counsel and consideration of the accrued liability amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, that the outcome of such litigation and regulatory proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. However, the outcome of such litigation and proceedings could be material to our operating results and cash flows for a particular future period, depending on, among other things, our revenues or income for such period. With respect to legal and regulatory matters for which management has been able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as of June 30, 2019 , we estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $85 million in excess of the aggregate reserves for such matters. Refer to Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies. Legal matters On February 17, 2015, Jyll Brink (“Brink”) filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “District Court”) under the caption Jyll Brink v. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (the “Brink Complaint”). The Brink Complaint alleges that Brink, a former customer of RJ&A, was charged a fee in her Passport Investment Account, and that the fee included an unauthorized and undisclosed profit to RJ&A in violation of its customer agreement and applicable industry standards. The Passport Investment Account is a fee-based account in which clients pay asset-based advisory fees and certain processing fees for ongoing investment advice and monitoring of securities holdings. The Brink Complaint seeks, among other relief, damages in the amount of the difference between the actual cost of processing a trade, as alleged by Brink, and the fee charged by RJ&A. On October 19, 2018, the District Court certified a class of former and current customers of RJ&A who executed a Passport Agreement and were charged processing fees during the period between February 17, 2010 and February 17, 2015. On February 11, 2016, Caleb Wistar (“Wistar”) and Ernest Mayeaux (“Mayeaux”) filed a putative class action complaint in the District Court under the caption Caleb Wistar and Ernest Mayeaux v. Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. and Raymond James Financial Services Advisors, Inc. (as subsequently amended, the “Wistar Complaint”). Similar to the Brink Complaint, the Wistar Complaint alleges that Wistar and Mayeaux, former customers of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. (“RJFS”) and Raymond James Financial Services Advisors, Inc. (“RJFSA”), were charged a fee in RJFS and RJFSA’s Passport Investment Account and that the fee included an unauthorized and undisclosed profit to RJFS and RJFSA in violation of its customer agreement and applicable industry standards. The Wistar Complaint seeks, among other relief, damages in the amount of the difference between the actual cost of processing a trade, as alleged by Wistar and Mayeaux, and the fee charge by RJFS and RJFSA. On April 5, 2019, the parties to the Brink Complaint and the Wistar Complaint agreed in principle to an aggregate settlement of $15 million. On June 11, 2019, the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement and Joint Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and Certification of the Settled Subclasses. On June 12, 2019, the District Court entered an order preliminarily approving the Class Action Settlement and set a hearing date of October 25, 2019 for final approval of the settlement. While the hearing for final approval has been set, the settlement remains subject to approval by the District Court. The settlement amounts for both complaints were included in “Other payables” in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2019.

As a result, on a prospective basis beginning October 1, 2018, unrealized gains/(losses) on our equity securities previously classified and accounted for as available-for-sale are recorded in net income instead of OCI. Accordingly, we reclassified a cumulative unrealized gain on such securities, net of tax, from AOCI to retained earnings. See Notes 2 and 5 for additional information. Reclassifications from AOCI to net income, excluding taxes, for each of the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were recorded in “Interest expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Our net investment hedges and cash flow hedges relate to our derivatives associated with RJ Bank’s business operations (see Note 6 for additional information on these derivatives). Our policy is to release tax effects remaining in AOCI on an individual security basis.

REVENUES

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUES	REVENUES On October 1, 2018, we adopted new accounting guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. Under the new guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are delivered to our customers in an amount we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services (i.e., the transaction price). Contracts with customers can include multiple services, which are accounted for as separate “performance obligations” if they are determined to be distinct. Our performance obligations to our customers are generally satisfied when we transfer the promised good or service to our customer, either at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation transferred at a point in time is recognized at the time that the customer obtains control over the promised good or service. Revenue from our performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized in a manner that depicts our performance in transferring control of the good or service, which is generally measured based on time elapsed, as our customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefit of our services as they are provided. Payment for the majority of our services is considered to be variable consideration, as the amount of revenues we expect to receive is subject to factors outside of our control, including market conditions. Variable consideration is only included in revenue when amounts are not subject to significant reversal, which is generally when uncertainty around the amount of revenue to be received is resolved. We involve third parties in providing services to the customer for some of our contracts with customers. Under the new guidance, we are generally deemed to control the promised services before they are transferred to the customer. Accordingly, beginning with adoption of the new guidance, we present the related revenues gross of the related costs. The following tables present our sources of revenues by segment. See Note 21 for additional information on our segment results.

$ 482 $ 532 $ (113 ) $ 5,375 (1) These revenues are generally not in scope of the new accounting guidance for revenue from contracts with customers. Asset management and related administrative fees We earn asset management and related administrative fees for performing asset management, investment advisory and related administrative services for retail and institutional clients. Such fees are generally calculated as a percentage of the value of assets in fee-based accounts under administration in our Private Client Group (“PCG”) segment or the net asset value of institutional accounts, retail accounts we manage on behalf of third-party institutions or funds that we manage in our Asset Management segment. The value of these assets is impacted by market fluctuations and net inflows or outflows of assets. Fees are generally collected quarterly and are based on balances either at the beginning of the quarter, the end of the quarter, or average balances throughout the quarter. Asset management and related administrative fees are recognized on a monthly basis (i.e., over time) as the services are performed. Revenues related to fee-based accounts under administration in PCG are shared by the PCG and Asset Management segments, the amount of which depends on whether clients are invested in assets that are overseen by our Asset Management segment (i.e., included in financial assets under management (“AUM”) in the Asset Management segment) and the administrative services being provided. Asset management revenues earned for retail accounts managed on behalf of third-party institutions, institutional accounts or funds that we manage are recorded entirely in the Asset Management segment. Brokerage revenues Securities commissions Mutual and other fund products and insurance and annuity products We earn revenues for distribution and related support services performed related to mutual and other funds, fixed and variable annuities and insurance products. Depending on the product sold, we may receive an upfront fee for our services, a trailing commission, or some combination thereof. Upfront commissions received are generally based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to amounts invested or the value of the contract at the time of sale and are recognized at the time of sale (or, in the case of insurance and annuity products, when the policy is accepted by the carrier). Trailing commissions are generally based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to the net asset value of the fund, or the value of the insurance policy or annuity contract. Trailing commissions are generally received monthly or quarterly while our client holds the investment or holds the contract. As these trailing commissions are based on factors outside of our control, including market movements and client behavior (i.e., how long clients hold their investment, insurance policy or annuity contract), such revenue is recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Equities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and fixed income products We earn commissions for executing and clearing transactions for customers, primarily in listed and OTC equity securities, including ETFs, and options. Such revenues primarily arise from transactions for retail clients in our PCG segment, as well as services related to sales and trading activities transacted on an agency basis in our Capital Markets segment. Commissions are recognized on trade date, generally received from the customer on settlement date, and we record a receivable between the trade date and the date collected from the customer. Principal transaction revenues Principal transactions include revenues from customers’ purchases and sales of financial instruments, including fixed income and equity securities and derivatives, in which we transact on a principal basis. To facilitate such transactions, we carry inventories of financial instruments. The gains and losses on such inventories, both realized and unrealized, are reported as principal transactions revenues. Account and service fees Mutual fund and annuity service fees We earn servicing fees for providing sales and marketing support to product partners and for supporting the availability and distribution of their products on our platforms. We also earn servicing fees from such partners for accounting and administrative services. These fees, which are received monthly or quarterly, are generally based on the market value of assets or number of positions in such programs or, in certain cases, are a fixed annual fee, and are recognized over time as the services are performed. RJBDP fees We earn servicing fees from various banks for administrative services we provide related to our clients’ deposits that are swept to such banks as part of RJBDP, our multi-bank sweep program. The amounts received from third-party banks are variable in nature and fluctuate based on client cash balances in the program, as well as the level of short-term interest rates relative to interest paid to clients on balances in the RJBDP. The fees are earned over time as the related administrative services are performed and are received monthly. Our PCG segment also earns servicing fees from RJ Bank, which are based on the number of accounts that are swept to RJ Bank. These fees are eliminated in consolidation. Investment banking revenues We earn revenue from investment banking transactions, including public and private equity and debt financing, merger & acquisition advisory services, and other advisory services. Underwriting revenues, which are typically deducted from the proceeds remitted to the issuer, are recognized on trade date if there is no uncertainty or contingency related to the amount to be paid. Fees from merger & acquisition and advisory assignments are generally recognized at the time the services related to the transaction are completed under the terms of the engagement. Fees for advisory services are typically received upfront, as non-refundable retainer fees, or as a success fee upon completion of a transaction. Expenses related to investment banking transactions are generally deferred until the related revenue is recognized or the assignment is otherwise concluded. Beginning October 1, 2018, such expenses have been included in “Professional fees” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Impact of adoption As a result of the adoption of the new accounting guidance, we have changed the presentation of certain costs from a net presentation within revenues to a gross presentation, particularly those related to merger & acquisition, advisory and underwriting transactions and certain administrative costs related to the RJBDP. As a result of this change, “Investment banking” and “Professional fees” were each $6 million higher for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $16 million higher for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , and “Account and service fees” and “Other” expense were each $1 million higher for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $5 million higher for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 . These changes had no impact on pre-tax or net income. Other items At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , net receivables related to contracts with customers were $340 million and $384 million , respectively. We record deferred revenue from contracts with customers when payment is received prior to the performance of our obligation to the customer. Deferred revenue balances were not material as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 . We have elected the practical expedient allowable by the guidance to not disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	9 Months Ended

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED AND OTHER COMPENSATION	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION We have one share-based compensation plan for our employees, Board of Directors and non-employees (independent contractor financial advisors). Effective during the three months ended June 30, 2019 , we generally reissue our treasury shares under The Amended and Restated 2012 Stock Incentive Plan; however, we are also permitted to issue new shares. Annual share-based compensation awards are primarily issued during the first fiscal quarter of each year. Our share-based compensation accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our 2018 Form 10-K. Other information related to our share-based awards is presented in Note 20 of our 2018 Form 10-K. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019 , we granted approximately 1.5 million RSUs to employees and outside members of our Board of Directors with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $76.71 . Grants for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were insignificant. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 , total compensation expense for restricted equity awards granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors was $20 million and $81 million , respectively, compared with $19 million and $70 million , respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 . As of June 30, 2019 , there were $164 million of total pre-tax compensation costs not yet recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs granted to employees and members of our Board of Directors. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 years .

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS	9 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2019
Regulatory Capital Requirements [Abstract]
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS	REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS RJF, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, RJ Bank, and our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to capital requirements by various regulatory authorities. Capital levels of each entity are monitored to ensure compliance with our various regulatory capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial results. As a bank holding company, RJF is subject to the risk-based capital requirements of the Fed. These risk-based capital requirements are expressed as capital ratios that compare measures of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets, which involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory guidelines. RJF’s and RJ Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors. RJF and RJ Bank are required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined), and under rules defined under the Basel III standardized approach, Common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets. RJF and RJ Bank each calculate these ratios in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and their internal capital policies. The minimum CET1, Tier 1 capital, and Total capital ratios of RJF and RJ Bank are supplemented by a capital conservation buffer, consisting entirely of capital that qualifies as CET1, that became fully-phased in at 2.5% of risk-weighted assets on January 1, 2019. Failure to maintain the capital conservation buffer could limit our ability to take certain capital actions, including dividends and common equity repurchases, and to make discretionary bonus payments. As of June 30, 2019 , both RJF’s and RJ Bank’s capital levels exceeded the capital conservation buffer requirement and were each categorized as “well capitalized.” For further discussion of regulatory capital requirements applicable to certain of our businesses and subsidiaries, see Note 21 of our 2018 Form 10-K. To meet requirements for capital adequacy purposes or to be categorized as “well capitalized,” RJF must maintain minimum CET1, Tier 1 capital, Total capital and Tier 1 leverage amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table.

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT_2

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RJF and its consolidated subsidiaries that are generally controlled through a majority voting interest. We consolidate all of our 100% owned subsidiaries. In addition, we consolidate any variable interest entity ( “VIE” ) in which we are the primary beneficiary. Additional information on these VIEs is provided in Note 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “2018 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2018 , as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 9 of this Form 10-Q. When we do not have a controlling interest in an entity, but we exert significant influence over the entity, we apply the equity method of accounting. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting estimates and assumptions	Accounting estimates and assumptions Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) but is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The nature of our business is such that the results of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2018 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP , we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Effective with the firm’s first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018, we have reclassified certain revenues among income statement line items and renamed certain line items. These reclassifications do not affect the Company’s reported total revenues or the total revenues in any of our segments for any of the previously reported periods. Prior period results have been conformed to the current presentation. In addition to the reclassifications discussed in the preceding paragraph, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Loans to financial advisors, net	Loans to financial advisors, net We offer loans to financial advisors and certain other key revenue producers, primarily for recruiting, transitional cost assistance, and retention purposes. We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Of the gross balance outstanding, the portion associated with financial advisors who are no longer affiliated with us was $22 million and $20 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $10 million and $8 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively.
Recent accounting developments	Recent accounting developments Accounting guidance recently adopted Goodwill - In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, eliminating “Step 2” from the goodwill impairment test (ASU 2017-04). Under this amended guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and subsequently recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. We early-adopted this guidance on January 1, 2019 , our goodwill impairment test date. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. Revenue recognition - In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to revenue recognition (ASU 2014-09). The new guidance is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs and requires additional disclosures. We adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2018, under a modified retrospective approach for all open contracts as of the date of initial adoption. As such, there was no impact on our prior period results. The primary impact of this guidance was the change in the presentation of certain costs from a net presentation within revenues to a gross presentation, particularly costs related to merger & acquisitions advisory and underwriting transactions and certain administrative costs related to our multi-bank sweep program. These presentation changes had no impact on our net earnings. There were no material changes in timing of revenues recognized associated with the adoption. As a result, adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our net results of operations or financial position. See Note 16 for further information. Financial instruments - In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for financial instruments (ASU 2016-01). Among its provisions, this new guidance generally requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, subject to certain exceptions, and amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. We adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2018, under a modified retrospective approach. As a result, on a prospective basis beginning as of the date of adoption, we record changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities that were previously classified as available-for-sale in net income. Previously, such unrealized gains/(losses) were reflected in other comprehensive income/(loss) (“OCI”). The impact of adopting the new guidance resulted in a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) to retained earnings of an accumulated gain of approximately $4 million at October 1, 2018 . See Note 5 for further information. Statement of Cash Flows (classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments) - In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15). The amended guidance provides guidance on disclosure and classification of certain items within the statements of cash flows. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 , under a retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows and did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. Statement of Cash Flows (restricted cash) - In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows (ASU 2016-18). The guidance requires an entity to include restricted cash and cash equivalents in its total of cash and cash equivalents on its statement of cash flows and to present a reconciliation of the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total of such amounts on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 , under a retrospective approach. As a result of adoption, we recorded a decrease of $765 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 related to reclassifying changes in cash segregated pursuant to regulations from operating activities to the cash and cash equivalents balance in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The total of cash segregated pursuant to regulations and cash and cash equivalents is included in a separate table in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. Definition of a business - In January 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance related to the definition of a business (ASU 2017-01). This amended guidance clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 , on a prospective basis. The impact of the adoption of this amended guidance is dependent upon acquisition and disposal activities subsequent to the date of adoption. The adoption did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. Share-based payment awards (modifications) - In May 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance that clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting (ASU 2017-09). The amended guidance states an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless certain criteria are met which include that the modified award has the same fair value, vesting conditions and classification as the original award. We adopted the guidance on October 1, 2018 , on a prospective basis. We generally do not modify our share-based payments awards. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. Share-based payment awards (nonemployee) - In June 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance that aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions (ASU 2018-07). The amended guidance states an entity should measure the fair value of the award by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued and, for equity-classified awards, the fair value should be measured on the grant date. The amended guidance also clarifies that nonemployee awards that contain a performance condition are to be measured based on the outcome that is probable and that entities may elect, on an award-by-award basis, to use the expected term or contractual term to measure the award. We early-adopted this standard on October 1, 2018 , using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations. Accounting guidance not yet adopted as of June 30, 2019 Lease accounting - In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases (ASU 2016-02). The new guidance and subsequent amendments requires the recognition of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by lease agreements with terms greater than twelve months, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will primarily depend upon its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new guidance requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and cash flows arising from leases. This new guidance, including subsequent amendments, is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 . Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. Upon adoption, we will use the alternative modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Our implementation efforts include reviewing existing leases and service contracts, which may include embedded leases. We are near completion with the process of identifying and validating changes to our business policies and processes, systems and controls, and reports to support adoption of the new guidance. This new guidance will increase both our assets and liabilities on our statement of financial condition. We are evaluating the magnitude of such impact. We do not expect a material impact on our results of operations. Credit losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13). The amended guidance involves several aspects of the accounting for credit losses related to certain financial instruments including assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and certain off-balance sheet commitments. The new guidance, and subsequent updates, broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of assets measured either collectively or individually to include historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, replacing the existing incurred credit loss model and other models with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. The new guidance expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating credit losses and requires new disclosures of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination. This new guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 and will be adopted under a modified retrospective approach. Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. We have continued with our implementation and evaluation efforts, which include a cross-functional team to assess the required changes to our credit loss estimation methodologies and systems, as well as the determination of additional data and resources required to comply with the new guidance. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations, which will depend on, among other things, the current and expected macroeconomic conditions and the nature and characteristics of financial assets held by us on the date of adoption. Callable debt securities - In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that requires certain premiums on callable debt securities to be amortized to the earliest call date instead of the contractual life of the security (ASU 2017-08). Discounts on callable debt securities will continue to be amortized to the contractual maturity date. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. Although permitted, we do not plan to early adopt. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. Internal use software (cloud computing) - In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (ASU 2018-15). This guidance requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred over the non-cancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any optional renewal periods (1) that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or (2) for which exercise of the renewal option is controlled by the cloud service provider. This amended guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted. The guidance may be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our financial position and results of operations. Derivatives and hedging (interest rate) - In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance amending Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) to add the overnight index swap (OIS rate) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) to the list of US benchmark interest rates that are eligible to be hedged (ASU 2018-16). This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2019 . Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations. Consolidation (decision making fees) - In October 2018, the FASB issued guidance on how all entities evaluate decision-making fees under the variable interest entity guidance (ASU 2018-17). Under the new guidance, to determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportionate basis, rather than in their entirety. This guidance is first effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 . Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.

Significant Assumptions Used in Valuation of Level 3 Financial Instruments	The following tables present the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of a significant majority of our financial instruments classified as level 3. These inputs represent those that a market participant would take into account when pricing these instruments. Weighted averages are calculated by weighting each input by the relative fair values of the related financial instrument.

The interest rates presented represent the average interest rate over all projected periods for securities within the portfolio segment. (2) Assumed calendar year of at least a partial redemption of the outstanding security by the issuer. (3) During the third fiscal quarter of 2019, an issuer within our ARS preferred portfolio commenced tender offers to which we tendered holdings with a fair value of $40 million as of June 30, 2019 . The tender offers were settled and payment was received in July 2019. (4) Certain investments are valued initially at transaction price and updated as other investment-specific events take place which indicate that a change in the carrying values of these investments is appropriate. Other investment-specific events include such events as our periodic review, significant transactions occur, new developments become known, or we receive information from a fund manager which allows us to update our proportionate share of net assets.
