A six-boutique asset manager has rebranded, though its boutiques and funds are keeping their exisiting names.

Robert Daniel "Bob" Kendall III Raymond James Investment Management President

On Monday, Paul Reilly, chairman and CEO of Raymond James, and Bob Kendall, president of Carillon Tower Advisers, confirmed that the St. Petersburg, Florida-based, publicly traded B-D has renamed Carillon Tower as Raymond James Investment Management [profile], as planned. (The rebranding includes a revamped RJIM website.)

Yet the asset manager's mutual fund business will continue to be called the Carillon Family of Funds, and its boutiques are keeping their names, too. RJIM's boutiques include: Chartwell Investment Partners, ClariVest Asset Management, Cougar Global Investments, Eagle Asset Management, Reams Asset Management, and Scout Investments.

"The strong support we received from our associates, boutique investment managers, and clients when we announced our new brand name was gratifying," Kendall states. "We've already seen the benefits of becoming more closely aligned with the Raymond James family, and we look forward to our shared part of success ahead."
