    • Overview

    Edward Jones is a financial advisor company that has its headquarters in Saint Louis, Missouri. The firm controls $329.0 billion in total assets across 3.0 million client accounts, making it one of the largest financial advisory firms in the United States by assets under management (AUM). The company has a very large group of 23,408 employees, of which 17,661 are financial advisors. Edward Jones is not a registered broker-dealer, meaning the company cannot buy and sell securities for its own accounts as well as its customers' and instead must go through a broker-dealer company to do so. Securities are defined as tradable financial investments such as equities, options and bonds.

    Edward Jones manages some of the company's client assets on a discretionary basis. Discretionary management signifies that buy and sell judgments for the client's account are made by an investment advisor without needing the customer's approval. The firm also administers 2,050,372 non-discretionary accounts totaling $162.0 billion in AUM. The company's typical account size is $107,970. The typical financial advisor at Edward Jones oversees around 173 client accounts.

    The company's main office is at 12555 Manchester Rd, Saint Louis, Missouri 63131. It is permitted to serve customers across 51 U.S. states and territories.

      Commissions

      Show Explanation

      Occasionally, advisors earn commissions from selling financial products, such as securities or insurance policies, or making certain referrals or transactions.

      Performance-based

      Show Explanation

      Advisors only earn performance-based fees if a portfolio outperforms a defined benchmark. This fee may be calculated in a number of ways but most commonly is charged as a percentage of investment profits. Performance-based fees may incentivize advisors to make riskier decisions in order to generate higher returns.

      Show Explanation
