Raymond James announced that it will acquire a majority stake in GreensLedge Holdings LLC, a boutique investment bank specializing in structured credit and securitization. According to InvestmentNews, the move strengthens Raymond James's position in capital markets and builds on its existing relationship with GreensLedge.

Last year, GreensLedge advised Raymond James to establish its private credit business in partnership with Eldridge Industries and Raymond James Bank. InvestmentNews reports that venture provides private credit solutions to sponsor-backed portfolio companies across four primary sectors: Consumer, Diversified Industrials, Healthcare, and Technology & Services.

Founded in 2008, GreensLedge has earned a reputation for expertise in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), rated feeder vehicles, and asset-backed securities (ABS) issuance. Its capital-light operating model allows for greater flexibility and responsiveness in the market.

InvestmentNews reports that the acquisition also enhances Raymond James's broader platform by integrating GreensLedge's structured-product knowledge into its investment management, banking, private-capital advisory, real estate investment banking, and ultra-high-net-worth advisory teams.
