Raymond James & Associates, the broker/dealer subsidiary of Raymond James Financial, has appointed Lisa Detanna as senior vice president of investments within its Los Angeles branch.

Lisa Detanna is a southern California financial professional, wealth advisor and a former president of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce.

The firm said it is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this summer, having “branched out from financial planning” to provide an array of wealth management services.

At the start of June it emerged that Raymond James Investment Services, the UK private client arm of Raymond James Financial, was continuing its drive to encourage UK wealth managers to adopt a broker protocol similar to the one existing in the US.

Raymond James Financial is a Florida-based holding company providing financial services to individuals, corporations and municipalities via its subsidiary companies. It has about $372 billion in client assets, some $38 billion of which are managed by the firm’s asset management subsidiaries.
