Choosing Your Branch Location

From small towns to large cities, one of the reasons Edward Jones has been so successful is that our Financial Advisors are based in local neighborhood offices in the communities they serve. This means we can get to know our clients personally and are able to build long-term relationships with them. This is truly a level of personal service not often seen today.

The selection of your Edward Jones office is perhaps one of the most important decisions you will make. This location will serve as the focal point for all your business-building efforts. You should consider areas where you will feel comfortable getting to know the local business owners and residents, and areas that will provide the lifestyle and amenities you and your family can enjoy for years to come.

The Ideal Location for You
While you can do business anywhere you are properly licensed, we have identified thousands of locations in both existing and new markets across the country where we feel an Edward Jones office will thrive based on factors such as population, age of residents and investable assets. Our headquarters associates responsible for analyzing geographic markets will help to find the ideal location for you.

Regional Structure
When the location of your office is finalized, you will be assigned to a region and introduced to your regional leader. Assigned by the firm’s senior managers, the regional leader is a highly successful, well-respected veteran Financial Advisor who volunteers his or her time to advance the overall health and growth of a particular geographic region. This includes overseeing the acclimation of new Financial Advisors to Edward Jones as well as coordinating regional events and meetings where Financial Advisors come together to share ideas and encouragement and learn from everyone’s successes.

Many regional events at Edward Jones include spouses and family. Financial Advisors and their families often meet for both work-related events and non-work-related gatherings such as summer barbecues, sporting events, picnics and holiday celebrations. Regions are divided geographically and typically include 40 to 70 Financial Advisors.

If you think Edward Jones is like every other large investment firm, think again.
