Being a firm for all is our legacy and our future

At Edward Jones, our goal is to be a place where every colleague feels valued, respected, seen and heard.

Rooted in our purpose, we seek to make a positive impact on as many lives as possible by supporting individuality and celebrating differences.

We apply our better together approach to the inclusive client and colleague experiences we strive to create. We learn from and with each other through the trusted personal relationships we build each day. That's what helps us deliver our vision for ONE Edward Jones.

It means, no matter who you are or what your circumstance is, you can see yourself here — and thrive.

Our commitments are rooted in our business model and in our core values: our clients’ interests come first, we value working in partnership, and we value and respect individuals and their contributions.

Our firm was built on Ted Jones’ insight that there was an innovative opportunity to serve underserved markets, which at the time was rural communities. To continue Ted’s legacy, we are building a firm that positively impacts the lives of people across communities and demographics – which has fueled the creation of branch offices covering more than 68% of U.S. counties and currently serving a rich mosaic of more than 9 million clients.

We're intentionally focused on fostering financial fulfilment for all and helping people who haven't previously engaged with Edward Jones or our industry.

We want to attract and retain the best talent of all perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds to continue to succeed. We understand that our continued success depends on our ongoing efforts to make Edward Jones a place of belonging where everyone feels seen, heard, respected, and valued. Different perspectives make for better business, and Edward Jones is truly for all.

Anchored by our purpose – to partner for positive impact to improve the lives of our clients and colleagues and, together, better our communities and society – highlights of our progress include:

  • Attraction strategies that help us compete and bring exceptional talent to Edward Jones by reaching broad and qualified pools of applicants.
  • Voluntary mentorship, development and training programs that help associates build stronger networks and relationships.
  • Business Resource Groups and events that create a sense of community and a place where colleagues can become more culturally conversant to better support our clients and communities.
  • Recognition conferences that celebrate the accomplishments of both home office and field associates for serving our clients’ best interests.

We will continue to invest in policies, programs and initiatives that enhance engagement for our colleagues and create experiences for our clients that meet their unique needs and build stronger communities.
