Payment for order flow arrangements with Option Exchange Specialist Units

Raymond James & Associates routes Option orders to all of the U.S. Option Exchanges. It is common for specialists at the exchanges to make payments to brokerage firms for orders executed on that exchange. We do not receive payment for all trades, and all contracts of a particular trade may not generate payment. The routing decision is in no way influenced by the prospect of receiving such payment.
