Edward Jones By Olin Froid on Aug 01, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

My wife and I have recently decided to get a little more serious about our investment options and retirement as a whole. We may not be real old, but we are not real young anymore either. So, our first stop came to be at Edward Jones.

Now Edward Jones is a financial advice institution, ranging in many services. But I would like to mostly talk to you about 401K/403B retirement plans that we have. We have them through our workplace, and Edward Jones as a company helped us to learn more about them. They guided through the details of the plans and options, and made it easy to understand what our best options were based on our personal risk assessment. This was the best tool they had to offer, it gave you an idea of how risky you are and therefore what would be the best investment options for you and your family.

Edward Jones also offers you different levels of retirement guidance, everything from the occasional check to constant supervision of your investments and decisions. They also discussed IRA options for us as well. Overall, the company provided sound, unbiased support and guidance and is on our list of potential investment guidance personnel.
