Raymond James Launches Magazine For Women Planners
October 3, 2017 by FA Staff
Raymond James announced the launch of Aspire to Greater, a publication oriented toward female advisors.
Aspire to Greater will be published biannually with expert features, advisor success stories, planning tips, tales of community involvement and practice management suggestions.
“This publication is an investment in women, an ode to those who have traversed the rocky path and a source of inspiration for those taking the first steps,” writes Michelle Lynch, vice president for the Raymond James Network for Women Advisors, in the first issue. “It will celebrate the successes of women in the financial services industry and offer valuable insights that can help you grow your business.”
The inaugural issue of the magazine, released in August, features interviews with former Merrill Lynch executive and Ellevest founder Sallie Krawcheck; rock guitarist and financial literacy spokesperson Gooding; and Libby Cantrill, Pimco’s EVP and head of public policy. Readers will also find tips for handling market volatility, prospecting and maximizing referrals from centers of influence.
According to Raymond James, the new magazine’s goal is to empower and inspire advisors and women who want to join the industry.
Raymond James sees Aspire to Greater as a continuation of its efforts to encourage gender diversity in the industry. The firm has fostered a large Network for Women Advisors, offering women access to opportunities like its Registered Sales Associated Membership Program and Advisor Mastery Program.
