AI and technology compared

How does Raymond James Financial compare with its peers on AI and technology?

On this site's AI disclosure index Raymond James scores 84.5 (#12 of 120 US banks), third in a nine-firm wealth-management group behind Bank of America (97.3) and Wells Fargo (88.8) and ahead of Schwab (80.7), Goldman Sachs (79.9), UBS's US business (75.3) and Morgan Stanley (69.7). It ranks 2nd in the group on its own primary disclosures. Three things separate it. It has named AI leadership, a chief AI officer since February 2025 and a head of AI strategy since September 2025. It reports internal adoption: more than 10,000 associates use conversational AI regularly (January 2026), and its Rai operations agent reached 6,500 unique users with 99.5% satisfaction (July 2026). And it says it spends more than $1.1 billion a year on technology (April 2026). Peers report broader advisor reach. Morgan Stanley says 98% of its advisor teams use its AI Assistant (June 2024), UBS says nearly 90% of its US advisor teams use its flagship AI platform (April 2026), and Schwab has given AI tools to all 33,000 employees (April 2026). Raymond James has no client-facing AI adviser; its stance, in its own words, is 'augmenting the human touch, rather than replacing it'. Markets have treated it as exposed anyway: its shares fell 8.75% on February 10, 2026 when Altruist launched an AI tax-planning tool, against 7.42% for Schwab and 2.4% for Morgan Stanley.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Where it leads

Where does Raymond James lead its peers on AI?

01

A dedicated AI office rather than AI under the CIO

Raymond James appointed Stuart Feld chief AI officer in February 2025, hired David Solganik as head of AI strategy in September 2025 and in June 2026 named a chief architect to drive enterprise technology and AI strategy. Morgan Stanley's AI work runs under its head of technology, Michael Pizzi, who oversees about 16,000 developers.[1][2][10][11]

02

More own disclosure than almost any peer

Raymond James scores 23 on own primary disclosures, 2nd of nine behind Northern Trust (32), against a group median of 15; its press releases cover Rai (January 2026), AI Search (April 2025), Zoom AI summaries (May 2025), an AI Academy (May 2026) and an expanded AWS collaboration (September 2026).[12][13][14][15][16]

03

A measured internal agent with a usage count

Rai, the proprietary operations agent launched in January 2026, had 6,500 unique users and a 99.5% satisfaction rate after its enterprise rollout (July 2026), and nearly 20,000 AI Academy courses had been completed. Schwab reports its AI Service Assistant transcribes about 60,000 live interactions a day (April 2026).[12][4][8]

04

A disclosed technology budget

Raymond James says it spends more than $1.1 billion a year on technology (April 2026), up from $975 million in 2025. Bank of America puts its 2026 technology budget at $13.5 billion and Wells Fargo at more than $10 billion; Morgan Stanley and Stifel give no comparable figure on their profiles.[5][2][17][18]

Where it trails

Where does Raymond James trail its peers on AI?

01

No client-facing AI while rivals ship to investors

Raymond James' AI is for advisors and associates; CIO Andy Zolper said Raimond could become client-facing only if advisors see a use case (May 2026). Robinhood gave Gold members Cortex AI tools and, in June 2026, offered Cortex to RIAs on its TradePMR platform; Bank of America's Erica has helped more than 24.6 million clients.[19][20][21][22]

02

Narrower advisor adoption figures than Morgan Stanley and UBS

The Raimond pilot covered 600 advisors and 1,400 home-office staff in May 2026, out of 8,943 affiliated advisors at September 2025. Morgan Stanley says 98% of its advisor teams use its Assistant, and UBS says nearly 90% of US advisor teams use its flagship AI platform (April 2026).[19][23][6][7]

03

Less independent coverage than the big wealth banks

Raymond James scores 19 on independent sources, 6th of nine against a median of 21; Goldman Sachs scores 39 and Bank of America 37. Its AI story is told mostly through its own releases and earnings calls, and its three fiscal 2026 10-Qs contain no reference to AI.[24][25][26]

04

Most exposed to the AI selloffs in its group

On February 10, 2026 Raymond James fell 8.75% after Altruist's AI tax tool launch, more than Schwab (7.42%) and Morgan Stanley (2.4%); on September 22, 2026, after Meta announced Muse, it fell 3.5% while LPL fell 7%. Stifel fell about 6% on the February day.[9][27][28]

AI index

Where does Raymond James rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from the US AI disclosure index of 120 banks (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

Common questions

Is Raymond James better than Morgan Stanley at AI?

The record cannot settle capability. Raymond James has put more on this site's disclosure index (84.5 against 69.7), mostly through its own releases. Morgan Stanley reports wider advisor adoption: 98% of advisor teams use its AI Assistant, and about 98% of its 80,000 employees have gen-AI access (June 2026).[12][6][11]

Does Raymond James have an AI assistant for clients?

Not yet. Its AI tools serve advisors and associates: Rai, AI Search, CRM Note Assistant and Zoom AI summaries. CIO Andy Zolper said in May 2026 that Raimond could become client-facing if advisors see a use case. The firm's stated philosophy is 'augmenting the human touch, rather than replacing it'.[12][13][14][19][2]

How does Raymond James compare with Schwab on AI?

Raymond James scores 84.5 and Schwab 80.7 on this site's index. Schwab reports 220-plus AI use cases, AI tools for all 33,000 employees and an AI Service Assistant transcribing about 60,000 live interactions a day. Raymond James reports more than 10,000 associates using conversational AI and 6,500 users of its Rai agent.[100][8][3][4]

How does Raymond James compare with Stifel on AI?

Stifel scores 6.5 on this site's index, near the bottom of the 120 US banks, against Raymond James' 84.5. Both describe advisor-first approaches. Raymond James names a chief AI officer and reports usage of its own tools; Stifel's 10-K mentions AI 57 times, up from zero two years earlier, and it ranked first in J.D. Power's 2026 employee-adviser study.[1][4][57][99]

How does Raymond James compare with UBS on AI?

UBS's US business scores 75.3 on this site's index against Raymond James' 84.5. UBS reports wider advisor adoption, with nearly 90% of US financial-advisor teams on its flagship AI platform (April 2026) and over 20 million STAAT insights delivered in 2025. Raymond James reports its own agent, Rai, at 6,500 users and a dedicated chief AI officer.[7][102][4][1]

How much does Raymond James spend on technology?

More than $1.1 billion a year, CEO Paul Shoukry said on the April 2026 call, up from $975 million in 2025. Its May 2026 investor day put 'AI Scaling and Automation' on the technology roadmap and cited Cerulli data that 54% of advisors call technology the top recruiting factor.[5][2][103]

Which AI model does Raymond James use?

CIO Andy Zolper told WealthManagement.com in May 2026 that the firm built its AI platforms with Amazon Web Services and uses Anthropic's Claude 'for the moment', staying open to other providers. In September 2026 it announced an expanded AWS data and analytics collaboration to support AI-powered advisor insights.[19][16]

Why did Raymond James stock fall on AI news?

Investors fear AI tools will compress wealth-management fees and cash-sweep income. On February 10, 2026 the shares fell 8.75% after Altruist launched an AI tax-planning tool in its Hazel platform; on September 22, 2026 they fell 3.5% after Meta announced Muse. The CEO has called AI cash optimisation an 'incremental threat' to sweep revenue.[9][27][104]
