RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL INC Top Holdings — 2025Q4 ($B)
RAYMOND JAMES FINANCIAL INC AUM History
ETF core, then selective mega-cap risk
VOO at $18.40B and AGG at $8.47B form the structural base. On top of that, Raymond James keeps large but measured single-name weights in MSFT, AAPL, NVDA, and AMZN.
Like other large-filer extracts, this article does not treat raw “NEW position” labels as confirmed fresh buys; those flags can be artifacts without dedicated quarter-over-quarter reconciliation.
The growth path across 2025 is consistent
After a mild dip to $265.66B in 2025Q1, the portfolio climbed to $290.50B in Q2, $311.10B in Q3, and $321.41B in Q4. The pattern shows persistent expansion with no sharp concentration spike in the top book.
Why this matters
Raymond James offers a useful middle path between pure passive replication and concentrated active bets. For investors tracking institutional positioning, this filing is a strong template for how large advisory ecosystems can scale risk exposure without letting single names dominate the portfolio outcome.
