Jones new at Edward Jones

Posted

BROOKINGS – Cam Jones knows the value of a comfortable pair of shoes. That’s because he has been introducing himself to the residents in Brookings.

Jones is a new financial adviser for the financial services firm Edward Jones, and his neighborhood visits demonstrate the Edward Jones way of doing business  – face to face.

Before a new Edward Jones financial advisor can even open an office, he or she must spend several months introducing himself- or herself to the residents and businesspeople in the community.

“At Edward Jones, we don’t expect anyone to invest with us until they know our investment philosophy,” Jones said. “I believe I have a responsibility to understand the unique financial needs of each and every client, and that’s why I’m paying them personal visits.”

“That’s one of the things that drew me to this firm,” Jones said. “Edward Jones values the individual investor and understands that people still want to do business with someone they know and trust.”

Jones also had to complete one of the most rigorous training programs in the financial services industry. 

And although he is well-versed in the technical aspects of investments, the training isn’t over. Edward Jones places a lot of emphasis on continuing education, and its financial advisors train literally throughout their careers.

“I know my clients want a financial advisor who is up to speed on investments and someone they know. That’s why we do things the way we do at Edward Jones,” Jones said.

Jones will work out of the office of Jeff Fish located at 1718 Sixth St. over the next several months. He will then continue serving investors throughout Brookings from a new office. He may be reached at 697-7762.
