Raymond James has launched Veteran Financial Advisors Network, a professional group that supports service veterans in the development of their businesses and careers at the firm and helps other veterans and military family members discover opportunities in the financial services industry.
The group was founded and is led by financial advisers who make up the network’s advisory council, which holds the responsibility of supporting, recruiting and uplifting other veteran advisers as well as spearheading initiatives for the network, the firm said in a press release Monday.
The group provides access to customized skills programs, development opportunities and mentorships. The network’s initiatives include outreach to veterans who are considering their next move after separation or discharge to share information about how their skills can translate to a successful career in the financial advice profession. Its member advisers also give back to veterans and military family members through philanthropy and volunteerism in their local communities.
