Edward Jones Ranks No. 1 For the 14th consecutive year, Edward Jones ranked No. 1 in Registered Representative magazine’s annual survey of the nation’s seven largest financialservices firms. The magazine randomly selects brokers nationwide and asks them to rank their firms in various categories. Edward Jones investment representatives gave the firm its highest scores in all but two of the 23 categories in which it was rated. Some of those categories include: hiring and recruiting practices, ongoing training, client account statements, quality of the products offered, and the firm’s strategic focus. Edward Jones investment representatives cited the firm’s training and customer service among its greatest assets. One anonymous IR is quoted in the survey as saying that Edward Jones’ “total and complete focus on putting the client first is why I always see myself working for them.” Edward Jones’ overall score was 9.4 out of 10 possible points. The overall average for all firms was 8.0. “This particular ranking is especially gratifying because it is based upon feedback from our own investment representatives,” said James D. Weddle, Edward Jones’ managing partner. “We are honored and humbled by this 14th consecutive No. 1 ranking.”
