Raymond James is growing its Financial Services Investment Banking platform throughout the West by hiring Managing Director Jimmy Troy.

Troy's deep regional expertise and over 20 years of experience serving clients across Western U.S. depository institutions will expand the firm's presence in the region.

'Having another dedicated and local senior banker focused on the West is essential as institutions navigate consolidation, regulatory change and evolving capital needs,' said John Roddy, head of Financial Services Investment Banking at Raymond James. 'Depositories across the Western U.S. operate in some of the most dynamic and competitive markets in the country. Jimmy's deep relationships and regional expertise elevate the impact and value we deliver to clients.'

Troy previously led the Western U.S. coverage effort for depository institutions at Stephens and Jefferies with a focus on M&A advisory and capital raising. In joining Raymond James, Troy is well-positioned to better assist clients in identifying and executing on value-enhancing opportunities for its shareholders and constituents. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in business economics from UCLA and is based in San Diego.

'Raymond James has built one of the most reputable Financial Services Investment Banking teams in the country, driven by its consistent commitment to client-first service that leads to long-term success,' said Troy. 'As the pace of deal activity in the West continues to accelerate, the breadth and quality of the firm's platform amplify my ability to serve clients with thoughtful, tailored advice and superb deal execution capabilities.'
