Raymond James (RJL) has announced the appointment of Peter Moores as CEO, pending necessary regulatory approval. Moores joins the firm during a milestone year for RJL celebrating 25 years in Canada and recently surpassing C$100 billion ($73 billion) in assets under administration.
Since joining Raymond James in 2004, Moores has held diverse roles including CEO and country manager in the United Kingdom, providing leadership of the wealth management business and governance of the capital markets and investment banking businesses.
