Who We Are
Raanes & Oliver Capital Advisors is a Hattiesburg, Mississippi-based financial advisory practice affiliated with Raymond James Financial Services. Founded on more than four decades of combined experience, we help individuals, families, and business owners across South Mississippi build, protect, and transfer wealth with clarity and confidence.
We are a team — not a solo practice. That matters. When you work with us, you have access to a group of professionals with diverse expertise in investment strategy, financial planning, retirement income, and client service. We believe the breadth of a team is something no single advisor can replicate.
What makes us different?
We begin with an understanding of your risk tolerance then determine the appropriate asset allocation based on your goals. We take pride in helping investors understand the risk factors in their portfolio and develop strategies to help achieve their goals while attempting to minimize risk as much as possible.
We build and manage custom portfolios based primarily on your risk tolerance using a variety of publicly traded securities. We follow a rules based approach that we believe helps to eliminate a market timing bias.
Our team approach to financial planning offers you a broader scope of experience than you will likely find in any one person. We work to understand your unique circumstances and ultimately create a plan that provides a road map for your financial journey. We'll work with you towards the goals you set for building and preserving your wealth.
Your Financial Plan. Your Team. Your Future.
We bring decades of experience and a team approach to financial planning for families and professionals across South Mississippi. We are dedicated to building, protecting, and transitioning your wealth.

Our Process
Step 1: Understand
Every relationship starts with a conversation. We listen first — learning about your goals, your concerns, your timeline, and what matters most to you. Before we talk numbers, we talk life.
Step 2: Plan
Using what we’ve learned, we build a customized financial plan and investment strategy tailored to your specific situation. We analyze your risk tolerance, assess your current position, and map out a clear strategy for achieving your goals.
Step 3: Manage & Adapt
A financial plan is only as good as the team maintaining it. We monitor your portfolio, communicate regularly, and adjust your strategy as markets, tax laws, and your life evolve. You’re never left guessing where things stand.

Our expertise
retirement planning
As you enter your retirement years, we recognize the importance of managing risks so you can feel comfortable in realizing your financial objectives. From establishing a long-term financial plan, assessing healthcare needs, or analyzing your social security benefits; we can help with it all.
Education planning
The options for setting aside education funds for children and grandchildren have grown exponentially over the past two decades! We can help you determine an appropriate strategy to save for private primary school as well as college and advanced degrees.
Business Retirement plans
Business retirement plans can be an attractive incentive for bringing in new employees. We work with multiple businesses to offer different plan types to their employees including SEP IRA’s, SIMPLE IRA’s, and 401K’s.
