Women & Wealth at Raymond James

Where Women Lead, We Invest

Women are shaping the future of wealth management — as clients, decision‑makers, and industry leaders. At Raymond James Ltd., we’re committed to accelerating that future by investing in women at every level: from clients seeking a firm that champions women, to advisors building thriving, independent practices.

Creating Opportunity. Advancing Equity. Driving Change.

Women remain underrepresented in wealth management — only 15% of financial advisors in Canada are women — and we’re determined to change that. Through long-standing programs, dedicated networks, and meaningful corporate investments, Raymond James continues to lead the industry in elevating women’s voices, careers, and opportunities.

Hear From Women Who Lead at Raymond James

Kalee Boisvert

Financial Advisor
Raymond James Ltd.

"In this industry, it’s easy to be your own biggest critic. Getting a life coach was probably the most important factor that has helped me bounce back during tough times and keep going.”

Melanie Gotts

Portfolio Manager

Raymond James Ltd. "Clients are more willing to share their questions and worries about investing with women than with men. I think they will reach out and be a bit more honest with women advisors, which makes the relationships more solid.”

Kelly Lindsey

Financial Advisor
Okanagan Wealth Management Group of Raymond James Ltd.

"Women are willing to help others by stepping in. If we are able to offer support to our colleagues, maternity leave and coverage for one’s book of business are things we should be able to facilitate as an industry.”

Neela White

Senior Portfolio Manager
Blue Wing Advisory Group of Raymond James Ltd.

"One thing I did was to be open with my clients and colleagues about what was happening in my life. This helped me achieve balance by setting boundaries around Raymond James time versus personal time.”
