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 to 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 23 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 (“2020 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 10 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 2020 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESA summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, 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. Accounting guidance adopted in fiscal 2021 Credit losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13), which replaces the incurred credit loss and other models with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. The 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 in-scope financial assets. The measurement of expected credit losses includes historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. This new guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 and was adopted under a modified retrospective approach. The impact of adoption of this new standard resulted in an increase in our allowance for credit losses of $42 million (including $25 million related to loans to financial advisors, $9 million related to funded bank loans and $8 million related to unfunded lending commitments) and a corresponding reduction in the beginning balance of retained earnings of approximately $35 million, net of tax. Prior-period amounts were calculated under the incurred loss model and have not been restated. See Notes 8 and 9 for further information related to bank loans and loans to financial advisors and the related allowances for credit losses. The following sections highlight changes to our accounting policies as a result of this adoption. Available-for-sale securities Available-for-sale securities are generally held by Raym ond James Bank, N.A. (“RJ Bank, N.A.”) and are classified at the date of purchase. They are comprised primarily of agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), which are guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. Available-for-sale securities owned by RJ Bank, N.A. are used as part of its interest rate risk and liquidity management strategies and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, or other factors. As a result of the adoption of the new CECL guidance, credit losses on available-for-sale securities are limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value and should be recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct reduction in amortized cost basis. Given that our available-for-sale securities portfolio is comprised of government agency securities for which payments of both principal and interest are guaranteed, and based on the lack of historical credit losses, we expect zero credit losses on this portfolio and the related accrued interest receivable. On a quarterly basis, we reassess our expectation of zero credit losses to consider changes in the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Other receivables, net Other receivables primarily include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, accrued interest receivables and accrued fees from product sponsors. Receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations primarily consist of deposits placed with clearing organizations, which includes initial margin and receivables related to sales of securities which have traded, but not yet settled including amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver. We present “Other receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of any allowance for credit losses. However, these receivables generally have minimal credit risk due to the low probability of clearing organization default and the short-term nature of receivables related to securities settlements and therefore, the allowance for credit losses on such receivables is not significant. Any allowance for credit losses for other receivables is estimated using assumptions based on historical experience, current facts and other factors. We update these estimates through periodic evaluations against actual trends experienced. As permitted under the CECL guidance, we include accrued interest receivables related to our financial assets in “Other receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition instead of with the related financial instrument. We reverse any uncollectible accrued interest into interest income generally when the related financial asset is moved to nonaccrual status. As we write off uncollectible amounts in a timely manner, we do not recognize an allowance for credit losses against accrued interest receivable. Loans to financial advisors, net We offer loans to financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes. The decision to extend credit to a financial advisor or other key revenue producer is generally based on their ability to generate future revenues. Loans offered are generally repaid over a five We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for credit losses. Refer to the allowance for credit losses section that follows for further information related to our allowance for credit losses on our loans to financial advisors. See Note 9 for additional information on our loans to financial advisors. Loans to financial advisors are considered past due once they are 30 days or more delinquent as to the payment of contractual interest or principal. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when we determine that full payment of contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or the loan is past due 180 days or more as to contractual interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is written-off against interest income. Interest is recognized on a cash basis until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to an accrual status when the loans have been brought contractually current with the original terms and have been maintained on a current basis for a reasonable period, generally six months. When we determine that it is likely a loan will not be collected in full, the loan is evaluated for a potential write down of the carrying value. After consideration of the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt, the portion of the loan deemed a confirmed loss, if any, is charged-off. A charge-off is taken against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost and the amount we estimate will ultimately be collected. Additional charge-offs are taken if there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows. Allowance for credit losses We evaluate our held for investment bank loans, unfunded lending commitments, loans to financial advisors and certain other financial assets to estimate an allowance for credit losses over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The remaining life of our financial assets is determined by considering contractual terms and expected prepayments, among other factors. We employ multiple methodologies in estimating an allowance for credit losses and our approaches differ by type of financial asset and the risk characteristics within each financial asset type. Our estimates are based on ongoing evaluations of the portfolio, the related credit risk characteristics, and the overall economic and environmental conditions affecting the financial assets. For certain of our financial assets with collateral maintenance provisions (e.g., collateralized agreements, margin loans and securities-based loans), we apply the practical expedient allowed under the CECL model in estimating an allowance for credit losses. We reasonably expect that borrowers (or counterparties, as applicable) will replenish the collateral as required. As a result, we estimate zero credit losses to the extent that the fair value equals or exceeds the related carrying value of the financial asset. When the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset is less than the carrying value, qualitative factors such as historical experience (adjusted for current risk characteristics and economic conditions) as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts are considered in estimating the allowance for credit losses on the unsecured portion of the financial asset. Credit losses are charged-off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of the financial asset is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance once received. A credit loss expense, or benefit, is recorded in earnings in an amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to our estimate as of the end of each reporting period. Our provision or benefit for credit losses for outstanding bank loans is included in “Bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and our provision or benefit for credit losses for all other financing receivables and unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other” expense. Loans We generally estimate the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolios using credit risk models which incorporate relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. After testing the reasonableness of a variety of economic forecast scenarios, we select a single forecast scenario for use in our models. Our forecasts incorporate assumptions related to macroeconomic indicators including, but not limited to, U.S. gross domestic product, equity market indices, unemployment rates, and commercial real estate and residential home price indices. At the conclusion of our reasonable and supportable forecast period, which currently ranges from two one two three The allowance for credit losses on loans is generally evaluated and measured on a collective basis, typically by loan portfolio segment, due to similar risk characteristics. When a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, the loan is evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. Various risk characteristics are considered when determining whether the loan should be collectively evaluated including, but not limited to, financial asset type, internal risk ratings, collateral type, industry of the borrower, and historical or expected credit loss patterns. The allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans is comprised of two components: (a) a quantitative allowance; and (b) a qualitative allowance, which is based on an analysis of model limitations and other factors not considered by the quantitative models. There are several factors considered in estimating the quantitative allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans which generally include, but are not limited to, the internal risk rating, historical loss experience (including adjustments due to current risk characteristics and economic conditions), prepayments, borrower-controlled extensions, and expected recoveries. We use third-party data for historical information on collectively evaluated corporate loans (C&I, CRE and REIT loans) and residential mortgage loans. The qualitative portion of our allowance for credit losses includes certain factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate and would generally require adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are intended to address developing trends related to each portfolio segment and would generally include, but are not limited to: changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection; our loan review process; volume and severity of delinquent loans; changes in the nature, volume and terms of loans; credit concentrations; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in legal and regulatory environments; and local, regional, national and international economic conditions. Held for investment bank loans The allowance for credit losses for the C&I, CRE (primarily loans that are secured by income-producing properties and commercial real estate construction loans), REIT (loans made to businesses that own or finance income-producing real estate), tax-exempt and residential mortgage portfolio segments is estimated using credit risk models that project a probability of default (“PD”), which is then multiplied by the loss given default (“LGD”) and the estimated exposure at default (“EAD”) at the loan-level for every period remaining in the loan’s expected life, including the maturity period. Historical data, combined with macroeconomic variables, are used in estimating the PD, LGD and EAD. Our credit risk models consider several factors when estimating the expected credit losses which may include, but are not limited to, financial performance and position, estimated prepayments, geographic location, industry or sector type, debt type, loan size, capital structure, initial risk levels and the economic outlook. Additional factors considered by the residential mortgage model include Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios. We generally use one of two methods to measure the allowance for credit losses on individually evaluated loans. A discounted cash flow approach is used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on certain nonaccrual corporate loans and all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that are not collateral-dependent. For collateral-dependent loans and for instances where foreclosure is probable, we use an approach that considers the fair value of the collateral less selling costs when measuring the allowance for credit losses. A loan is collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral. See Note 8 for further information about our bank loans, including credit quality indicators considered in developing the allowance for credit losses. Unfunded lending commitments We estimate credit losses on unfunded lending commitments using a methodology consistent with that used in the corresponding bank loan portfolio segment and also based on the expected funding probabilities for fully binding commitments. As a result, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded lending commitments will vary depending upon the mix of lending commitments and future funding expectations. All classes of individually evaluated unfunded lending commitments are analyzed in conjunction with the specific allowance process previously described. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Loans to financial advisors The allowance for credit losses on loans to financial advisors is estimated using credit risk models that incorporate average annual loan-level loss rates and estimated prepayments based on historical data. The qualitative component of our estimate considers internal and external factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate such as the reasonable and supportable forecast period. In estimating an allowance for credit losses on our individually-evaluated loans to financial advisors, we generally take into account the affiliation status of the financial advisor (i.e., whether the advisor is actively affiliated with us or has terminated affiliation with us), the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt.

ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Acquisitions announced and completed during the six months ended March 31, 2021 In December 2020, we announced and completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of NWPS Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “NWPS”), doing business as NWPS and Northwest Plan Services. As an independent provider of retirement plan administration, consulting, actuarial and administration services, the addition of NWPS allows us to expand our retirement services offerings, including retirement plan administration services, to advisors and clients. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the NWPS acquisition was not considered a material acquisition. NWPS has been integrated into our Private Client Group (“PCG”) segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of December 24, 2020. The NWPS acquisition resulted in the addition of $139 million of goodwill and $96 million of identifiable intangible assets during the six months ended March 31, 2021. The goodwill associated with this acquisition primarily represents synergies from combining NWPS with our existing businesses. The identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to client relationships and have a weighted-average useful life of 24.8 years. In March 2021, we completed our acquisition of all of the outstanding ownership interests of Financo, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively “Financo”), an investment bank focused on the consumer sector. The addition of Financo allows us to further grow our investment banking capabilities in the consumer and retail space, both domestically and internationally. For purposes of certain acquisition-related financial reporting requirements, the Financo acquisition was not considered a material acquisition. Financo has been integrated into our Capital Markets segment and its results of operations have been included in our results prospectively from the closing date of March 30, 2021. The Financo acquisition resulted in the addition of $30 million of goodwill and $9 million of identifiable intangible assets during the six months ended March 31, 2021. The goodwill associated with this acquisition primarily represents synergies from combining Financo with our existing businesses. The goodwill associated with Financo is generally deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to client relationships and have a weighted-average useful life of 9 months. Due to the timing of the close of this acquisition, certain information is not yet available and the amounts of goodwill and intangible assets are considered provisional. We believe the information currently available provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair value of these assets. However, these provisional estimates may be adjusted upon the availability of new information regarding facts and circumstances which existed at the acquisition date. We expect to finalize this valuation by the end of our 2021 fiscal year. See Notes 2 and 10 of our 2020 Form 10-K and Note 11 of this Form 10-Q for additional information about our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, including the related accounting policies. Acquisition-related expenses Certain acquisition and integration costs associated with these acquisitions were included in “Acquisition and disposition-related expenses” during fiscal 2021 on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Such costs primarily included legal and other professional fees.

Level 3 recurring fair value measurements The following tables present the changes in fair value for Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The realized and unrealized gains and losses in the tables may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. In the following tables, gains/(losses) on trading instruments are reported in “Principal transactions” and gains/(losses) on other investments are reported in “Other” revenues.

Of these losses, approximately $20 million for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 were attributable to noncontrolling interests, which are reflected as an offset in “Other” expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2021, 26% of our assets and 1% of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. In comparison, as of September 30, 2020, 19% of our assets and 2% of our liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The increase in assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as a percentage of total assets was primarily due to a significant increase in assets segregated pursuant to regulations at fair value during fiscal 2021, driven by a significant increase in client cash balances. As of both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, Level 3 assets represented less than 1% of our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements The following table presents the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of certain of our private equity investments 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 value of the related financial instrument. 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 or new developments become known. Recurring measurements $ in millions Fair value at March 31, 2021 Valuation technique(s) Unobservable input Range Other investments - private equity investments (not measured at NAV) $ 52 Discounted cash flow, transaction price or other investment-specific events Discount rate 25% Terminal earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple 9.0x Terminal year 2021 - 2034 (2022) Fair value at September 30, 2020 Other investments - private equity investments (not measured at NAV) $ 37 Discounted cash flow, transaction price or other investment-specific events Discount rate 25% Terminal EBITDA multiple 9.0x Terminal year 2021 - 2042 (2023) Qualitative information 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 section. 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 would have resulted in a lower fair value measurement. Increases in the terminal EBITDA multiple would have resulted in a higher fair value measurement. Increases in the terminal year are dependent upon each investment’s strategy, but generally result in a lower fair value measurement. Investments in private equity measured at net asset value per share As more fully described in Note 2 of our 2020 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 March 31, 2021 includes various direct investments, as well as investments in third-party private equity funds and various legacy private equity funds which we sponsor. The portfolio is primarily invested in a broad range of strategies 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 March 31, 2021 Private equity investments measured at NAV $ 88 $ 9 Private equity investments not measured at NAV 52 Total private equity investments $ 140 September 30, 2020 Private equity investments measured at NAV $ 79 $ 9 Private equity investments not measured at NAV 37 Total private equity investments $ 116 Of the total private equity investments, the portions we owned were $105 million and $90 million as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The portions of the private equity investments we did not own were $35 million and $26 million as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and were included as a component of noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As a financial holding company, we are subject to holding period limitations for our merchant banking activities. As a result, we will be required to exit certain of our private equity investments by February 2022. Additionally, many of our private equity 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. We have received approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Fed”) to continue to hold the majority of our covered fund investments until July 2022. 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. 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 value of the related financial instrument. $ in millions Level 2 Level 3 Total fair value Valuation technique(s) Unobservable input Range March 31, 2021 Bank loans: Residential mortgage loans $ 4 $ 11 $ 15 Collateral or discounted cash flow (1) Prepayment rate 7 yrs. - 12 yrs.

Debt Securities, Available-for-sale [Abstract]
AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES	AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES Available-for-sale securities are primarily comprised of agency MBS and agency CMOs owned by RJ Bank. As of October 1, 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, including available-for-sale securities. Refer to Note 2 for further information about this guidance and a discussion of our available-for-sale securities.

See Note 4 for additional information regarding the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The following table details the contractual maturities, amortized costs, 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 March 31, 2021, of the 242 available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, 241 were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and one security was in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. We do not consider unrealized losses associated with these securities to be credit losses 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. In addition, unrealized losses related to these available-for-sale securities are generally due to changes in market interest rates. At March 31, 2021, based on our assessment of this portfolio, we did not recognize an allowance for credit losses on our available-for-sale securities. At March 31, 2021, debt securities we held in excess of ten percent of our equity included those issued by the Federal National Home Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”) with amortized costs of $5.04 billion and $2.81 billion, respectively, which also approximated the fair values of the securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no sales of available-for-sale securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we received proceeds of $519 million, resulting in an insignificant gain, from sales of agency MBS and agency CMO available-for-sale securities. The gain that resulted from the sales was included in “Other” revenues on our

As a result, we present the matched book amounts net in the preceding table. The following table details the gains/(losses) included in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of income taxes, on derivatives designated as hedging instruments. These gains/(losses) included any amounts reclassified from AOCI to net income during the period. See Note 17 for additional information.

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 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 on matched book derivatives is related to our uncollected derivative transaction fee revenues, which were insignificant as of both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. We are not exposed to market risk on these derivatives due to the pass-through transaction structure described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K. 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, both for the total portfolio and by maturity period.

Offsetting [Abstract]
COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS	COLLATERALIZED AGREEMENTS AND FINANCINGS Collateralized agreements are comprised of securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repurchase agreements”) and securities borrowed. Collateralized financings are comprised of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) and securities loaned. We enter into these transactions in order to facilitate client activities, 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 2020 Form 10-K. 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. For financial statement purposes, we do not offset our reverse repurchase agreements, repurchase agreements, securities borrowed and securities loaned because the conditions for netting as specified by GAAP are not met. Although not offset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, these transactions are included in the following table.

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 to satisfy our collateral requirements under our repurchase agreements, securities lending agreements or other secured borrowings, to satisfy deposit requirements with clearing organizations, or to otherwise meet 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 March 31, 2021 September 30, 2020 Collateral we received that was available to be delivered or repledged $ 3,225 $ 2,869 Collateral that we delivered or repledged $ 886 $ 788 Encumbered assets We pledge certain of our assets 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, N.A. and include C&I loans, REIT loans, tax-exempt loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, and SBL and other 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, securities or are unsecured. See Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of accounting policies related to bank loans. As of October 1, 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. See Note 2 for further information about this guidance and a discussion of our accounting policies related to our allowance for credit losses. We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments: C&I, CRE, REIT, tax-exempt, residential mortgage, and SBL and other. Upon adoption, we redefined certain of our portfolio segments to align with the new methodology applied in determining the allowance for credit losses. Prior-period loan portfolio segment balances have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Loan balances in the following tables are presented at amortized cost (outstanding principal balance net of unearned income and deferred expenses, which include purchase premiums, purchase discounts and net deferred origination fees and costs), except for certain held for sale loans recorded at fair value. Bank loans are presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at amortized cost (or fair value where applicable) less the allowance for credit losses. 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.

Prior periods have not been restated and were calculated under the incurred loss methodology. Accrued interest receivables presented in the preceding table are reported in “Other receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At March 31, 2021, the FHLB had a blanket lien on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio as security for the repayment of certain borrowings. See Note 14 of our 2020 Form 10-K for more information regarding borrowings from the FHLB. Held for sale loans RJ Bank originated or purchased $528 million and $1.11 billion of loans held for sale during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and $443 million and $1.15 billion during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of these held for sale loans amounted to $207 million and $395 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and $220 million and $434 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Net gains resulting from such sales were insignificant in all periods during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The table also includes CRE and residential first mortgage loan TDRs of $13 million and $14 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021 and $6 million and $15 million, respectively, at September 30, 2020. Other real estate owned, included in “Other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was insignificant at both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Collateral-dependent loans A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the underlying collateral. At March 31, 2021, we had $13 million of collateral-dependent CRE loans, which were fully collateralized by retail and industrial real estate, and $6 million of collateral-dependent residential loans, which were fully collateralized by single family homes. Collateral-dependent loans do not include loans to borrowers who have been granted forbearance as result of the COVID-19 pandemic or loans for which the borrower had requested a loan modification, where the request had been initiated but had not been approved or completed as of the end of the quarter. Such loans may be considered collateral-dependent after the forbearance period expires. The recorded investment in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process was $6 million at both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Credit quality indicators The credit quality of RJ Bank’s loan portfolio is summarized monthly by management using internal risk ratings, which align with the standard asset classification system utilized by bank regulators. 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 our accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification.

RJ Bank also monitors the credit quality of the residential mortgage loan portfolio utilizing FICO scores and LTV ratios. A FICO score measures a borrower’s creditworthiness by considering factors such as payment and credit history. LTV measures the carrying value of the loan as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan.

The allowance for credit losses decreased $18 million to $345 million since the adoption of CECL on October 1, 2020, largely attributable to changes in inputs to our CECL model since our October 1, 2020 adoption date, reflecting improvements in certain forecasted macroeconomic inputs, including unemployment and gross domestic product, partially offset by forecasted declines in commercial real estate values since our CECL adoption date, as well as an increase in criticized loans. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments, which is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was $17 million, $20 million and $12 million at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to an improved outlook for commercial real estate compared with December 31, 2020. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments as of March 31, 2021 compared with September 30, 2020 was predominantly due to the adoption impact of CECL. See Note 2 for further information about the adoption of CECL and the impact to the allowance for credit losses. Loans to financial advisors are primarily comprised of loans originated as a part of our recruiting activities. See Note 2 for a discussion of our accounting policies related to loans to financial advisors and the related allowance for credit losses.

(2) These loans were predominately past due for a period of 180 days or more and on nonaccrual status. The allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2021 was determined using the CECL methodology, which we adopted on October 1, 2020. Prior periods calculated under the incurred loss methodology have not been restated. The increase in the allowance from September 30, 2020 to March 31, 2021 was primarily due to the October 1, 2020 CECL adoption, which resulted in an increase in our allowance for credit losses of $25 million. See Note 2 for further information on the CECL adoption. Accrued interest receivables presented in the preceding table are reported in “Other receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Receivables [Abstract]
LOANS TO FINANCIAL ADVISORS, NET	BANK LOANS, NET Bank client receivables are comprised of loans originated or purchased by RJ Bank, N.A. and include C&I loans, REIT loans, tax-exempt loans, commercial and residential real estate loans, and SBL and other 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, securities or are unsecured. See Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of accounting policies related to bank loans. As of October 1, 2020, we adopted new accounting guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. See Note 2 for further information about this guidance and a discussion of our accounting policies related to our allowance for credit losses. We segregate our loan portfolio into six loan portfolio segments: C&I, CRE, REIT, tax-exempt, residential mortgage, and SBL and other. Upon adoption, we redefined certain of our portfolio segments to align with the new methodology applied in determining the allowance for credit losses. Prior-period loan portfolio segment balances have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Loan balances in the following tables are presented at amortized cost (outstanding principal balance net of unearned income and deferred expenses, which include purchase premiums, purchase discounts and net deferred origination fees and costs), except for certain held for sale loans recorded at fair value. Bank loans are presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at amortized cost (or fair value where applicable) less the allowance for credit losses. 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.

Prior periods have not been restated and were calculated under the incurred loss methodology. Accrued interest receivables presented in the preceding table are reported in “Other receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. At March 31, 2021, the FHLB had a blanket lien on RJ Bank’s residential mortgage loan portfolio as security for the repayment of certain borrowings. See Note 14 of our 2020 Form 10-K for more information regarding borrowings from the FHLB. Held for sale loans RJ Bank originated or purchased $528 million and $1.11 billion of loans held for sale during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and $443 million and $1.15 billion during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Proceeds from the sale of these held for sale loans amounted to $207 million and $395 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and $220 million and $434 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. Net gains resulting from such sales were insignificant in all periods during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 March 31, 2021 Purchases $ 538 $ — $ 114 $ 652 Sales $ 95 $ — $ — $ 95 Six months ended March 31, 2021 Purchases $ 660 $ — $ 160 $ 820 Sales $ 100 $ — $ — $ 100 Three months ended March 31, 2020 Purchases $ 296 $ 5 $ 100 $ 401 Sales $ — $ — $ — $ — Six months ended March 31, 2020 Purchases $ 396 $ 5 $ 258 $ 659 Sales $ 20 $ — $ — $ 20 Sales in the preceding table represent the recorded investment (i.e., net of charge-offs and discounts or premiums) 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 2020 Form 10-K, corporate loan sales generally occur as part of our credit management activities.

The table also includes CRE and residential first mortgage loan TDRs of $13 million and $14 million, respectively, at March 31, 2021 and $6 million and $15 million, respectively, at September 30, 2020. Other real estate owned, included in “Other assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was insignificant at both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Collateral-dependent loans A loan is considered collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the underlying collateral. At March 31, 2021, we had $13 million of collateral-dependent CRE loans, which were fully collateralized by retail and industrial real estate, and $6 million of collateral-dependent residential loans, which were fully collateralized by single family homes. Collateral-dependent loans do not include loans to borrowers who have been granted forbearance as result of the COVID-19 pandemic or loans for which the borrower had requested a loan modification, where the request had been initiated but had not been approved or completed as of the end of the quarter. Such loans may be considered collateral-dependent after the forbearance period expires. The recorded investment in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process was $6 million at both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Credit quality indicators The credit quality of RJ Bank’s loan portfolio is summarized monthly by management using internal risk ratings, which align with the standard asset classification system utilized by bank regulators. 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 our accounting policy, loans, or a portion thereof considered to be uncollectible are charged-off prior to the assignment of this classification. The following tables present RJ Bank’s held for investment loan portfolio by year of origination and credit quality indicator as of March 31, 2021. $ in millions 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Prior Revolving loans Total C&I loans Risk rating: Pass $ 312 $ 1,259 $ 1,206 $ 1,404 $ 1,043 $ 1,590 $ 649 $ 7,463 Special mention — — 43 103 — 54 2 202 Substandard — — 39 84 — 28 — 151 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total C&I loans $ 312 $ 1,259 $ 1,288 $ 1,591 $ 1,043 $ 1,672 $ 651 $ 7,816 CRE loans Risk rating: Pass $ 194 $ 435 $ 572 $ 645 $ 226 $ 209 $ 61 $ 2,342 Special mention — 45 86 49 — — — 180 Substandard — — 32 86 8 62 — 188 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total CRE loans $ 194 $ 480 $ 690 $ 780 $ 234 $ 271 $ 61 $ 2,710 REIT loans Risk rating: Pass $ 171 $ 123 $ 115 $ 87 $ 50 $ 220 $ 364 $ 1,130 Special mention — — 28 11 39 124 21 223 Substandard — — 21 — 4 — 2 27 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total REIT loans $ 171 $ 123 $ 164 $ 98 $ 93 $ 344 $ 387 $ 1,380 Tax-exempt loans Risk rating: Pass $ 9 $ 59 $ 123 $ 209 $ 276 $ 547 $ — $ 1,223 Special mention — — — — — — — — Substandard — — — — — — — — Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total tax-exempt loans $ 9 $ 59 $ 123 $ 209 $ 276 $ 547 $ — $ 1,223 Residential mortgage loans Risk rating: Pass $ 836 $ 1,459 $ 788 $ 499 $ 556 $ 815 $ 18 $ 4,971 Special mention — — — — — 5 — 5 Substandard — — — 1 2 22 — 25 Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total residential mortgage loans $ 836 $ 1,459 $ 788 $ 500 $ 558 $ 842 $ 18 $ 5,001 SBL and other Risk rating: Pass $ 6 $ 45 $ 12 $ — $ — $ — $ 4,828 $ 4,891 Special mention — — — — — — — — Substandard — — — — — — — — Doubtful — — — — — — — — Total SBL and other $ 6 $ 45 $ 12 $ — $ — $ — $ 4,828 $ 4,891 Loans classified as special mention, substandard or doubtful are all considered to be “criticized” loans. RJ Bank also monitors the credit quality of the residential mortgage loan portfolio utilizing FICO scores and LTV ratios. A FICO score measures a borrower’s creditworthiness by considering factors such as payment and credit history. LTV measures the carrying value of the loan as a percentage of the value of the property securing the loan. The following table presents the held for investment residential mortgage loan portfolio by FICO score and by LTV ratio at origination. $ in millions March 31, 2021 September 30, 2020 FICO score: Below 600 $ 67 $ 67 600 - 699 398 363 700 - 799 3,496 3,463 800 + 1,035 1,076 FICO score not available 5 4 Total $ 5,001 $ 4,973 LTV ratio: Below 80% $ 3,901 $ 3,852 80%+ 1,100 1,121 Total $ 5,001 $ 4,973 Allowance for credit losses The following table presents changes in the allowance for credit losses on held for investment bank loans by portfolio segment. $ in millions C&I loans CRE loans REIT loans Tax-exempt loans Residential mortgage loans SBL and other Total Three months ended March 31, 2021 Balance at beginning of period $ 198 $ 112 $ 30 $ 2 $ 33 $ 3 $ 378 Provision/(benefit) for credit losses 7 (39) 6 — (7) 1 (32) Net (charge-offs)/recoveries: Charge-offs (2) — — — — — (2) Recoveries — — — — — — — Net (charge-offs)/recoveries (2) — — — — — (2) Foreign exchange translation adjustment — 1 — — — — 1 Balance at end of period $ 203 $ 74 $ 36 $ 2 $ 26 $ 4 $ 345 Six months ended March 31, 2021 Balance at beginning of period $ 200 $ 81 $ 36 $ 14 $ 18 $ 5 $ 354 Impact of CECL adoption 19 (11) (9) (12) 24 (2) 9 Provision/(benefit) for credit losses (15) 3 9 — (16) 1 (18) Net (charge-offs)/recoveries: Charge-offs (2) — — — — — (2) Recoveries — — — — — — — Net (charge-offs)/recoveries (2) — — — — — (2) Foreign exchange translation adjustment 1 1 — — — — 2 Balance at end of period $ 203 $ 74 $ 36 $ 2 $ 26 $ 4 $ 345 Three months ended March 31, 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 139 $ 36 $ 12 $ 8 $ 17 $ 4 $ 216 Provision/(benefit) for credit losses 58 18 26 3 1 3 109 Net (charge-offs)/recoveries: Charge-offs — — — — — — — Recoveries — — — — — — — Net (charge-offs)/recoveries — — — — — — — Foreign exchange translation adjustment (1) — — — — — (1) Balance at end of period $ 196 $ 54 $ 38 $ 11 $ 18 $ 7 $ 324 Six months ended March 31, 2020 Balance at beginning of period $ 139 $ 34 $ 15 $ 9 $ 16 $ 5 $ 218 Provision/(benefit) for credit losses 58 20 23 2 2 2 $ 107 Net (charge-offs)/recoveries: Charge-offs — — — — — — $ — Recoveries — — — — — — $ — Net (charge-offs)/recoveries — — — — — — — Foreign exchange translation adjustment (1) — — — — — (1) Balance at end of period $ 196 $ 54 $ 38 $ 11 $ 18 $ 7 $ 324 The allowance for credit losses on held for investment bank loans decreased $33 million to $345 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to changes in macroeconomic inputs to our CECL model during the quarter, including an improved outlook for the commercial real estate and residential mortgage bank loan portfolios, partially offset by the impact of weakened equity market forecasts on the C&I and REIT loan portfolios and an increase in criticized loans. The allowance for credit losses decreased $18 million to $345 million since the adoption of CECL on October 1, 2020, largely attributable to changes in inputs to our CECL model since our October 1, 2020 adoption date, reflecting improvements in certain forecasted macroeconomic inputs, including unemployment and gross domestic product, partially offset by forecasted declines in commercial real estate values since our CECL adoption date, as well as an increase in criticized loans. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments, which is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, was $17 million, $20 million and $12 million at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to an improved outlook for commercial real estate compared with December 31, 2020. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending commitments as of March 31, 2021 compared with September 30, 2020 was predominantly due to the adoption impact of CECL.

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 2020 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 portfolio (“Private Equity Interests”), certain Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“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 March 31, 2021 Private Equity Interests $ 48 $ 4 LIHTC funds 68 6 Restricted Stock Trust Fund 21 21 Total $ 137 $ 31 September 30, 2020 Private Equity Interests $ 39 $ 4 LIHTC funds 168 76 Restricted Stock Trust Fund 14 14 Total $ 221 $ 94 The following table presents information about the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs which we consolidate and which are included on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Such VIEs include certain Private Equity Interests, certain LIHTC funds, and other limited partnerships. Our risk of loss for these VIEs is limited to our investments in, advances to, and/or receivables due from these VIEs. 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.

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 January 1, 2021, our annual evaluation date, evaluating balances as of December 31, 2020. In this annual evaluation, 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, gross domestic product, unemployment rates, interest rates, and housing markets. 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 these qualitative assessments, no impairment was identified. No events have occurred since such assessments that would cause us to update this impairment testing.

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 pre-tax 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 2020 Form 10-K. Effective tax rate Our effective income tax rate was 21.2% for the six months ended March 31, 2021, which was lower than the 22.2% effective tax rate for fiscal year 2020. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to an increase in valuation gains associated with our company-owned life insurance policies which are not subject to tax.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES	COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES Commitments and contingencies Underwriting commitments In the normal course of business, we enter into commitments for debt and equity underwritings. As of March 31, 2021, we had five such open underwriting commitments, which were subsequently settled in open market transactions and did not result in significant losses. Lending commitments 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 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 March 31, 2021 September 30, 2020 Open-end consumer lines of credit (primarily SBL) $ 14,300 $ 12,148 Commercial lines of credit $ 1,740 $ 1,482 Unfunded loan commitments $ 532 $ 532 Standby letters of credit $ 27 $ 33 Open-end consumer lines of credit primarily represent the unfunded amounts of RJ Bank loans to consumers that are secured by marketable securities at advance rates consistent with industry standards. The proceeds from repayment or, if necessary, the liquidation of collateral, which is monitored daily, are expected to satisfy the amounts drawn against these existing lines of credit. These lines of credit are primarily uncommitted, as we reserve the right to not make any advances or may terminate these lines at any time. Because many of RJ Bank’s lending commitments expire without being funded in whole or in part, the contractual amounts are not estimates of our actual future credit exposure or future liquidity requirements. The allowance for credit losses calculated under CECL provides for potential losses related to the unfunded lending commitments. See Notes 2 and 8 for further discussion of this allowance for credit losses related to 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. We offer loans to prospective financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes (see Notes 2 and 9 for further discussion of our loans to financial advisors). These offers are contingent upon certain events occurring, including the individuals joining us and meeting certain conditions outlined in their offer. Investment commitments We had unfunded commitments to various investments, including private equity investments and certain RJ Bank investments, of $38 million as of March 31, 2021. Other commitments Raymond James Tax Credit Funds, Inc. (“RJTCF”) sells investments in project partnerships 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. Until such investments are sold to LIHTC funds, RJTCF is responsible for funding investment commitments to such partnerships. As of March 31, 2021, RJTCF had committed approximately $178 million to project partnerships that had not yet been sold to LIHTC funds. Because we expect to sell these project partnerships to LIHTC funds and the equity funding events arise over future periods, the contractual commitments are not expected to materially impact our future liquidity requirements. 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 Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for further discussion of these activities. At March 31, 2021, we had $263 million of 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 March 31, 2021, the fair value of the TBA securities and the estimated fair value of the purchase commitments were insignificant. For information regarding our lease commitments, including the maturities of our lease liabilities, see Note 12. 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 its 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. 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 $13 million as of March 31, 2021. The debt, which matures in 2022, is secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrower. Legal and regulatory matter contingencies 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, among other things, into industry practices, which can also result in the imposition of such sanctions. We may 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 in the financial services industry continues to be significant. 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. For many legal and regulatory matters, we are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as 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). Subject to the foregoing, after consultation with counsel, we believe 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 regulatory 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. There are certain matters for which we are unable to estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible loss. With respect to legal and regulatory matters for which management has been able to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss as of March 31, 2021, we estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible aggregate loss to be approximately $180 million in excess of the aggregate accruals for such matters. Refer to Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our criteria for recognizing liabilities for contingencies.

Interest on these senior notes was payable semi-annually. In April and May 2021, we repurchased or redeemed, as applicable, all of the outstanding 5.625% senior notes due April 2024 and 3.625% senior notes due September 2026. See the discussion of the tender offers and redemptions of such senior notes described below. In March 2020, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.65% senior notes due April 2030. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to January 1, 2030, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 50 basis points; and on or after January 1, 2030, at 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. In July 2016, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes due July 2046. In May 2017, we reopened the offering and sold, in a registered underwritten public offering, an additional $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes due July 2046. These additional senior notes were consolidated, formed into a single series, and are fully fungible with the $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior notes issued in July 2016. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to their maturity, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. Senior notes offering In April 2021, we sold in a registered underwritten public offering $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due April 2051. Interest on these senior notes is payable semi-annually. We may redeem some or all of these senior notes at any time prior to October 1, 2050, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, discounted to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to a designated U.S. Treasury rate, plus 20 basis points; and on or after October 1, 2050, at 100% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed; plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. These senior notes will be reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition beginning in our third fiscal quarter of 2021. Tender offers and redemptions of certain senior notes Concurrently with the launch of our offering of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.75% senior notes due April 2051, we commenced cash tender offers (the “Tender Offers”) for any and all of our outstanding 5.625% senior notes due 2024 and 3.625% senior notes due 2026 (the “Existing Notes”), pursuant to which we repurchased an aggregate of $332 million outstanding Existing Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $373 million. The Tender Offers expired on April 14, 2021. In addition, on April 1, 2021, we issued notices of redemption to holders of the Existing Notes pursuant to the indentures governing such notes, to redeem any Existing Notes that remained outstanding following the closing of the Tender Offers. On May 3, 2021, we redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of the Existing Notes of $418 million for an aggregate redemption price of $473 million. These repurchases and redemptions were funded with the net proceeds from our offering of 3.75% senior notes due April 2051 and cash on hand and will result in a charge of approximately $97 million as a loss on extinguishment of debt, comprised of make-whole premiums and unamortized debt issuance costs, which will be included on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income in our third fiscal quarter of 2021.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION We have one share-based compensation plan for our employees, Board of Directors and independent contractor financial advisors. Generally, we 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 fiscal first quarter of each year. Our share-based compensation accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our 2020 Form 10-K. Other information related to our share-based awards is presented in Note 21 of our 2020 Form 10-K. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, we granted approximately 150 thousand and 1.5 million RSUs, respectively, to employees and outside members of our Board of Directors with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $116.73 and $93.63, respectively. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, total compensation expense for RSUs granted to our employees and members of our Board of Directors was $30 million and $71 million, respectively, compared with $27 million and $67 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, there were $231 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, including those granted during the six months ended March 31, 2021. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS	6 Months Ended

Broker-Dealer, Net Capital Requirement, SEC Regulation [Abstract]
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS	REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSRJF, as a bank holding company and financial holding company, RJ Bank, N.A., Raymond James Trust, N.A. (“RJ Trust”) 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 incorporates quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under the applicable regulatory guidelines. RJF’s and RJ Bank, N.A.’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, N.A. 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 capital framework, Common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets. RJF and RJ Bank, N.A. each calculate these ratios under the Basel III standardized approach in order to assess compliance with both regulatory requirements and their internal capital policies. In order to maintain our ability to take certain capital actions, including dividends and common equity repurchases, and to make bonus payments, we must hold a capital conservation buffer above our minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of March 31, 2021, both RJF’s and RJ Bank, N.A.’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 22 of our 2020 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. Actual Requirement for capital To be well-capitalized $ in millions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio RJF as of March 31, 2021: CET1 $ 6,787 23.6 % $ 1,296 4.5 % $ 1,872 6.5 % Tier 1 capital $ 6,787 23.6 % $ 1,728 6.0 % $ 2,304 8.0 % Total capital $ 7,120 24.7 % $ 2,304 8.0 % $ 2,880 10.0 % Tier 1 leverage $ 6,787 12.2 % $ 2,218 4.0 % $ 2,773 5.0 % RJF as of September 30, 2020: CET1 $ 6,490 24.2 % $ 1,208 4.5 % $ 1,744 6.5 % Tier 1 capital $ 6,490 24.2 % $ 1,610 6.0 % $ 2,147 8.0 % Total capital $ 6,804 25.4 % $ 2,147 8.0 % $ 2,684 10.0 % Tier 1 leverage $ 6,490 14.2 % $ 1,824 4.0 % $ 2,280 5.0 % As of March 31, 2021 RJF’s Tier 1 and Total capital ratios declined compared to September 30, 2020, primarily resulting from an increase in risk-weighted assets, partially offset by an increase in equity due to positive earnings, net of dividends and share repurchases. The increase in risk-weighted assets was primarily driven by increases in our loan portfolio and market risk-equivalent assets. RJF’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at March 31, 2021 decreased compared to September 30, 2020 due to increased average assets, driven by higher assets segregated pursuant to regulations due to an increase in client cash in the Client Interest Program (“CIP”), as well as growth in available-for-sale securities and loans. Our regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2021 were also negatively impacted by the increase in goodwill and intangible assets arising from our acquisitions of NWPS and Financo. See Note 3 for additional information on our fiscal 2021 acquisitions. To meet the requirements for capital adequacy or to be categorized as “well-capitalized,” RJ Bank, N.A. must maintain CET1, Tier 1 capital, Total capital and Tier 1 leverage amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table. Actual Requirement for capital To be well-capitalized $ in millions Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio RJ Bank, N.A. as of March 31, 2021: CET1 $ 2,442 13.1 % $ 838 4.5 % $ 1,210 6.5 % Tier 1 capital $ 2,442 13.1 % $ 1,117 6.0 % $ 1,489 8.0 % Total capital $ 2,676 14.4 % $ 1,489 8.0 % $ 1,862 10.0 % Tier 1 leverage $ 2,442 7.5 % $ 1,296 4.0 % $ 1,620 5.0 % RJ Bank, N.A. as of September 30, 2020: CET1 $ 2,279 13.0 % $ 788 4.5 % $ 1,138 6.5 % Tier 1 capital $ 2,279 13.0 % $ 1,051 6.0 % $ 1,401 8.0 % Total capital $ 2,500 14.3 % $ 1,401 8.0 % $ 1,751 10.0 % Tier 1 leverage $ 2,279 7.7 % $ 1,183 4.0 % $ 1,479 5.0 % RJ Bank, N.A.’s Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios at March 31, 2021 increased compared to September 30, 2020, due to positive earnings, partially offset by growth in loans and available-for-sale securities. RJ Bank, N.A.’s Tier 1 leverage ratio at March 31, 2021 decreased compared to September 30, 2020, due to increased average assets, driven by the growth in available-for-sale securities and loans. Certain of our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the requirements of the Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT_2

UPDATE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2021
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 (“2020 Form 10-K”) for the year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in Note 10 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 2020 Form 10-K. To prepare condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, we must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Recent accounting developments	Accounting guidance adopted in fiscal 2021 Credit losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13), which replaces the incurred credit loss and other models with the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) model. The 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 in-scope financial assets. The measurement of expected credit losses includes historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. This new guidance was effective for our fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2020 and was adopted under a modified retrospective approach. The impact of adoption of this new standard resulted in an increase in our allowance for credit losses of $42 million (including $25 million related to loans to financial advisors, $9 million related to funded bank loans and $8 million related to unfunded lending commitments) and a corresponding reduction in the beginning balance of retained earnings of approximately $35 million, net of tax. Prior-period amounts were calculated under the incurred loss model and have not been restated. See Notes 8 and 9 for further information related to bank loans and loans to financial advisors and the related allowances for credit losses. The following sections highlight changes to our accounting policies as a result of this adoption. Available-for-sale securities Available-for-sale securities are generally held by Raym ond James Bank, N.A. (“RJ Bank, N.A.”) and are classified at the date of purchase. They are comprised primarily of agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), which are guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. Available-for-sale securities owned by RJ Bank, N.A. are used as part of its interest rate risk and liquidity management strategies and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risks, or other factors. As a result of the adoption of the new CECL guidance, credit losses on available-for-sale securities are limited to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value and should be recognized through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct reduction in amortized cost basis. Given that our available-for-sale securities portfolio is comprised of government agency securities for which payments of both principal and interest are guaranteed, and based on the lack of historical credit losses, we expect zero credit losses on this portfolio and the related accrued interest receivable. On a quarterly basis, we reassess our expectation of zero credit losses to consider changes in the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Other receivables, net Other receivables primarily include receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, accrued interest receivables and accrued fees from product sponsors. Receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations primarily consist of deposits placed with clearing organizations, which includes initial margin and receivables related to sales of securities which have traded, but not yet settled including amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver. We present “Other receivables, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of any allowance for credit losses. However, these receivables generally have minimal credit risk due to the low probability of clearing organization default and the short-term nature of receivables related to securities settlements and therefore, the allowance for credit losses on such receivables is not significant. Any allowance for credit losses for other receivables is estimated using assumptions based on historical experience, current facts and other factors. We update these estimates through periodic evaluations against actual trends experienced. As permitted under the CECL guidance, we include accrued interest receivables related to our financial assets in “Other receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition instead of with the related financial instrument. We reverse any uncollectible accrued interest into interest income generally when the related financial asset is moved to nonaccrual status. As we write off uncollectible amounts in a timely manner, we do not recognize an allowance for credit losses against accrued interest receivable. Loans to financial advisors, net We offer loans to financial advisors for recruiting and retention purposes. The decision to extend credit to a financial advisor or other key revenue producer is generally based on their ability to generate future revenues. Loans offered are generally repaid over a five We present the outstanding balance of loans to financial advisors on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, net of the allowance for credit losses. Refer to the allowance for credit losses section that follows for further information related to our allowance for credit losses on our loans to financial advisors. See Note 9 for additional information on our loans to financial advisors. Loans to financial advisors are considered past due once they are 30 days or more delinquent as to the payment of contractual interest or principal. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when we determine that full payment of contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or the loan is past due 180 days or more as to contractual interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is written-off against interest income. Interest is recognized on a cash basis until the loan qualifies for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to an accrual status when the loans have been brought contractually current with the original terms and have been maintained on a current basis for a reasonable period, generally six months. When we determine that it is likely a loan will not be collected in full, the loan is evaluated for a potential write down of the carrying value. After consideration of the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt, the portion of the loan deemed a confirmed loss, if any, is charged-off. A charge-off is taken against the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost and the amount we estimate will ultimately be collected. Additional charge-offs are taken if there is an adverse change in the expected cash flows. Allowance for credit losses We evaluate our held for investment bank loans, unfunded lending commitments, loans to financial advisors and certain other financial assets to estimate an allowance for credit losses over the remaining life of the financial instrument. The remaining life of our financial assets is determined by considering contractual terms and expected prepayments, among other factors. We employ multiple methodologies in estimating an allowance for credit losses and our approaches differ by type of financial asset and the risk characteristics within each financial asset type. Our estimates are based on ongoing evaluations of the portfolio, the related credit risk characteristics, and the overall economic and environmental conditions affecting the financial assets. For certain of our financial assets with collateral maintenance provisions (e.g., collateralized agreements, margin loans and securities-based loans), we apply the practical expedient allowed under the CECL model in estimating an allowance for credit losses. We reasonably expect that borrowers (or counterparties, as applicable) will replenish the collateral as required. As a result, we estimate zero credit losses to the extent that the fair value equals or exceeds the related carrying value of the financial asset. When the fair value of the collateral securing the financial asset is less than the carrying value, qualitative factors such as historical experience (adjusted for current risk characteristics and economic conditions) as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts are considered in estimating the allowance for credit losses on the unsecured portion of the financial asset. Credit losses are charged-off against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of the financial asset is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance once received. A credit loss expense, or benefit, is recorded in earnings in an amount necessary to adjust the allowance for credit losses to our estimate as of the end of each reporting period. Our provision or benefit for credit losses for outstanding bank loans is included in “Bank loan provision/(benefit) for credit losses” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and our provision or benefit for credit losses for all other financing receivables and unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other” expense. Loans We generally estimate the allowance for credit losses on our loan portfolios using credit risk models which incorporate relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. After testing the reasonableness of a variety of economic forecast scenarios, we select a single forecast scenario for use in our models. Our forecasts incorporate assumptions related to macroeconomic indicators including, but not limited to, U.S. gross domestic product, equity market indices, unemployment rates, and commercial real estate and residential home price indices. At the conclusion of our reasonable and supportable forecast period, which currently ranges from two one two three The allowance for credit losses on loans is generally evaluated and measured on a collective basis, typically by loan portfolio segment, due to similar risk characteristics. When a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans, the loan is evaluated for credit losses on an individual basis. Various risk characteristics are considered when determining whether the loan should be collectively evaluated including, but not limited to, financial asset type, internal risk ratings, collateral type, industry of the borrower, and historical or expected credit loss patterns. The allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans is comprised of two components: (a) a quantitative allowance; and (b) a qualitative allowance, which is based on an analysis of model limitations and other factors not considered by the quantitative models. There are several factors considered in estimating the quantitative allowance for credit losses on collectively evaluated loans which generally include, but are not limited to, the internal risk rating, historical loss experience (including adjustments due to current risk characteristics and economic conditions), prepayments, borrower-controlled extensions, and expected recoveries. We use third-party data for historical information on collectively evaluated corporate loans (C&I, CRE and REIT loans) and residential mortgage loans. The qualitative portion of our allowance for credit losses includes certain factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate and would generally require adjustments to the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are intended to address developing trends related to each portfolio segment and would generally include, but are not limited to: changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection; our loan review process; volume and severity of delinquent loans; changes in the nature, volume and terms of loans; credit concentrations; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in legal and regulatory environments; and local, regional, national and international economic conditions. Held for investment bank loans The allowance for credit losses for the C&I, CRE (primarily loans that are secured by income-producing properties and commercial real estate construction loans), REIT (loans made to businesses that own or finance income-producing real estate), tax-exempt and residential mortgage portfolio segments is estimated using credit risk models that project a probability of default (“PD”), which is then multiplied by the loss given default (“LGD”) and the estimated exposure at default (“EAD”) at the loan-level for every period remaining in the loan’s expected life, including the maturity period. Historical data, combined with macroeconomic variables, are used in estimating the PD, LGD and EAD. Our credit risk models consider several factors when estimating the expected credit losses which may include, but are not limited to, financial performance and position, estimated prepayments, geographic location, industry or sector type, debt type, loan size, capital structure, initial risk levels and the economic outlook. Additional factors considered by the residential mortgage model include Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores and loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios. We generally use one of two methods to measure the allowance for credit losses on individually evaluated loans. A discounted cash flow approach is used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on certain nonaccrual corporate loans and all troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) that are not collateral-dependent. For collateral-dependent loans and for instances where foreclosure is probable, we use an approach that considers the fair value of the collateral less selling costs when measuring the allowance for credit losses. A loan is collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral. See Note 8 for further information about our bank loans, including credit quality indicators considered in developing the allowance for credit losses. Unfunded lending commitments We estimate credit losses on unfunded lending commitments using a methodology consistent with that used in the corresponding bank loan portfolio segment and also based on the expected funding probabilities for fully binding commitments. As a result, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded lending commitments will vary depending upon the mix of lending commitments and future funding expectations. All classes of individually evaluated unfunded lending commitments are analyzed in conjunction with the specific allowance process previously described. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded lending commitments is included in “Other payables” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Loans to financial advisors The allowance for credit losses on loans to financial advisors is estimated using credit risk models that incorporate average annual loan-level loss rates and estimated prepayments based on historical data. The qualitative component of our estimate considers internal and external factors that are not incorporated into the quantitative estimate such as the reasonable and supportable forecast period. In estimating an allowance for credit losses on our individually-evaluated loans to financial advisors, we generally take into account the affiliation status of the financial advisor (i.e., whether the advisor is actively affiliated with us or has terminated affiliation with us), the borrower’s ability to restructure the loan, sources of repayment, and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to repay the debt.
