Logistics Investment Banking

Making crucial connections for clients.

The Raymond James Logistics practice has earned its leading reputation through in-depth experience, quality research and far-reaching relationships with executives and investors. The team serves non-asset or asset-light transportation services providers that generally have high free cash flow margins and low-maintenance capital expenditures. These companies include freight forwarders or brokers that arrange freight transportation for customers using assets owned by truckers, railroads, airlines or steamship lines. We have also worked with warehouse-oriented logistics companies, including port-based companies. The practice has also advised companies that provide support to this niche, such as equipment and container lessors, transportation management and compliance software providers.
