Raymond James

Raymond James Financial (NYSE: RJF), the St. Petersburg-based diversified financial services firm, entered the SPAC underwriting market in 2020 and has since served as left-lead bookrunner on all three of the blank-check IPOs it has managed, spanning financial services and broader capital markets mandates. Of those three transactions, one has reached a completed business combination. Raymond James currently carries no active SPAC mandates, a position consistent with the sharp industry-wide pullback in blank-check issuance over the past two years. The firm's SPAC activity runs through its investment banking division.
