Raymond James Advisory Fee
As compensation for its full-service account management, Raymond James annual fee schedule is very
steep:
Account Balance | Raymond James Annual Fee |
First $500,000 | 2.25% |
Next half million | 1.75% |
Next $4,000,000 | 1.25% |

Raymond James Commissions
In addition to the percentage that the broker deducts, there are also commissions for trades (Raymond James calls them "processing fees", although they are commissions). Stocks, ETFs, REIT's, and UIT's are $9.95 on both the buy and sell sides. This charge is also applied to OTC and preferred stocks. Bonds, certificates of deposit, option contracts, and mutual funds cost $30 per transaction. Foreign securities and no-load mutual funds are also available with the broker.
