Edward Jones

Edward Jones is the nation’s largest financial-services firm in terms of financial advisors and branch offices, with 13,500 U.S. locations. Every aspect of our business, from investment types to branch locations, is designed to cater to more than 7 million clients in communities where they live and work. Financial advisors work with clients to understand personal goals – from college savings to retirement – and create long-term investment solutions that emphasize a well-balanced portfolio and a buy-and-hold strategy. We embrace the importance of building long-term, face-to-face relationships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense of the investment options available today. Each Edward Jones neighborhood branch has a financial advisor and a branch office administrator serving clients where they live and work. These firm associates come to Edward Jones for a career, not a job. They find flexible, family-friendly workplaces near their own homes, satisfying work helping clients achieve their goals, and lots of support by their regions and home-office personnel. Community involvement is encouraged. Our regions are leadership-development centers, where talented financial advisors can volunteer for leadership roles, get development coaching and earn opportunities for permanent leadership roles in their region or at home offices. Branch office administrators can improve their earnings as senior branch office administrators, volunteer for leadership roles, even become financial advisors. Opportunities and potential compensation are limitless. Success helping clients results in financial advisors and branch office administrators earning trimester bonuses, annual profit sharing – 48% of operating income – and the opportunity to own a piece of the firm through limited partnership. Edward Jones is a partnership owned by 24,400 limited partners, all associates or retirees. It is headquartered in St. Louis and operates in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. All income after expenses is paid out to associates through bonuses, profit sharing and partnership earnings. Our firm Vision is to become the first choice of serious, long-term individual investors. Edward Jones, a Fortune 500 firm, is growing to meet client needs now and in the future. In 2018, we exceeded 17,600 global financial advisors for the first time. Edward Jones is the largest U.S. financial services firm in terms of financial advisors and branches, plus in an elite group with more than $1 trillion assets under care. We continue to hire and grow, with an emphasis on becoming a more diverse firm to serve diverse clients. Penny Pennington became our new managing partner on Jan. 1.
