Closed out my time in Texas with a great dinner at Brennan’s of Houston entertaining our clients from the area 🍽️💼

No spreadsheets, no slide decks, just meaningful conversation, laughs and relationship building over some seriously southern cuisine and great wine!

Pro Tip: Houston airport doesn’t have a Delta Sky Club but if you’re there, meander over to the American Express Centurion Lounge, it’s worth checking out!

Sometimes the best career advice comes from Mom.

When Robyn Jensen was considering her next career move, her mother encouraged her to look at Edward Jones.

Today, she's part of three generations of female financial advisors creating success at the firm.

While CDs are an excellent tool for short-term needs, don't forget about the bigger picture. Even your short-term investments should keep up with inflation.

You can buy certificates of deposit at your local bank, but Edward Jones offers another option to consider.

Grateful for last weekend in Corpus Christi TX celebrating my grandfather’s 80th birthday!

A milestone of stories, laughter, and family memories.

And when you can take a selfie with a mariachi band, ya do it!

Albert Einstein once dubbed compounding the 8th wonder of the world. “He who understands it, earns it...he who doesn’t, pays it.” Here’s a simple example that shows why time is, literally, money.

How long you're invested matters much more than how much you've invested.

It's so rewarding to share that, thanks in part to contributions from Edward Jones leaders and associates, we saw a new record set at this year's Beacon of Hope Gala in St. Louis. More than $1.24 million was raised to benefit the Alzheimer's Association.

Another impressive $325,000 was raised at the Phoenix Era of Hope Gala. Exciting to see that retired General Partner Kim Webb and her husband John, diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia in 2022, were honored at the event.

Thanks to all who help us in our fight to end this terrible disease.

Ted and Pat Jones — the second managing partner of Edward Jones, and his wife — didn’t just leave behind a legacy of leadership and love: They reshaped Missouri's landscape. The couple led the charge to convert the abandoned MKT rail line into the Katy Trail, now the nation’s longest recreational rail-trail at 240 miles. Their story lives on through the Katy Trail and conservation landmarks that welcome millions.

On April 26, Edward Jones colleagues, retirees and community members gathered across four Katy Trail trailheads to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the trail’s founding. At the Treloar Trailhead, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to commemorate the new Ted and Pat Jones Welcome Center. We couldn't be prouder that Ted and Pat's legacy of conservation lives on still today.

The Katy Trail activities were brought to life through collaborations with Missouri State Parks and retired Edward Jones General Partners Dan and Connie Burkhardt. The Burkhardts are founders of Magnificent Missouri, a not-for-profit that advocates for the Katy Trail, and Dan Burkhardt is also a trustee of Ted and Pat Jones' estates. The Treloar Mercantile was donated by the Burkhardts to Missouri State Parks in 2024 for use as the first State Parks welcome center on the Katy Trail and is supported by a $250,000 gift from Edward Jones.

Join us in celebrating several events across Missouri and along the Katy Trail in honor of Ted and Pat Jones.
