I am a former EJ Advisor

I am a former EJ Advisor I left after 3 years due to the sleazy tactics and culture of high pressure get their money infrastructure These are not good people they do not care about you your investments or your future They are in the business of separating you from your money and moving on to the next shill I moved all of my funds to Schwab An amazing difference I manage my own money they just do the trading I buy ETF s that track the S P500 This is the metric EVERY fund tries to beat and only 20 do Why buy and sell to feed an advisor when 2-3 ETF s do it for you Schwab is courteous prompt and effective

Edward Jones is a joke

Edward Jones is a joke I can t purchase a stock because it is under 1 00 per share because it is too risky But their mutual funds are fine even though they lose money constantly My track record is better than theirs They want to keep you invested in mutual funds due to kick backs Stay away from these morons

Fees Commissions PAID

We finally managed to transfer all our funds from Ed Jones Office to a financial institution which we thought would end the Fee s we had been paying Except for GIC s we just received a notice almost demanding a 50 00 Fee for A Registered Account in A GIC coming due in Aug 24 l suppose these Fees will never end until all GIC s have been transferred from this Investment Co We are also wondering when all the rest of the GIC s come due will there be a commission on each one We have no idea what kind of maintenance is required on A Registered Acct with this company The Notice that was received from Edward Jones stated they would liquidate securities for the amount necessary to satisfy the unpaid balance if not paid on time What kind of authority do they have to do this Amount of commission that was paid to transfer funds was 8K right to the penny sometimes amounting to 02-15cents Ed Jones is not for the Investor they are taking your money for the Traders wish we had just left the money invested where it was in the first place 30 yrs ago to date amount paid in Fees Commissions is probably over 25 000 00 if not MORE

Too much of hidden fees

Too much hidden fees and the fees are really high for a retirement account The best i could was diversify if you want to diversify like me search for libbey jane bean on google she is well known and can manage portfolio to yield to better return on investment The best part is you only pay her when you make your profit

They re are not good people

They re are not good people finally got my funds out after so many attempts They well keep you away from your funds as much as possible I think my funds are better where they were previously Libbey Jane Bean on Google managed it better for me

They took our prize stock and sold it

They took our prize stock and sold it for fees that we were not told about or how they were being paid They stopped sending quarterly statements but if they had sent us one we could have seen what they were doing we would have never let them deplete our investment in a good stock I figured we have lost about 30 000 by them doing this Needless to say we will never let them get near our investments ever again and if anyone asks I would never recommend them

A women needs a man to invest here

remember walking into an investment place Edward Jones and asking to buy shares of Amazon Dec 2000 for 78 cents The finacial planner laughed at me and said that stock is going no where but bankrupt then told me to leave and go home and get my Dad or husband when I was ready to do some real investing 24 yrs later what money I have in Edward Jones has not grown more then 2k I left Edward Jones that day and went to the library and read every financial book I could find then went to chapters and bought every finance book I could Then I started buying real estate I live in Ontario so you can imagine what that is worth after 2020 Then I opened my own investors account I retired at 35 from having to work and my TFSA alone the dividends can pay my bills I still keep my Edward Jones account thou to compare what one women can accomplished compared to a whole company of men I never did buy Amazon stock but I do collect royalities

DO NOT HIRE KERRY HAMBRICK

Please be cautious hiring this lunatic woman as a financial advisor Not only does she claim to be a lawyer she s one of the most evil people I ve ever encountered and I d like to share information regarding her association with my little boy never having the chance to meet his own father Upon finding out I was pregnant with my son Kerry Hambrick took it upon herself and went out of her way to make fake phone numbers to reach out to my sons father She encouraged him to not believe I was pregnant and he unfortunately believed her based off of her false allegations about me Her lies were a huge part in the decisions he made to go to Florida with another woman which ended in tragedy 27 days later my sons father drowned in a horrible accident in Florida still unsure he was about to be a father to a little boy based off of Kerry Hambrick s lies After Ryan s death Ive had the opportunity to review many text messages Kerry sent Ryan about me and our son and it s absolutely disgusting Kerry Hambrick also shared my private confidential health records and ultrasound pictures with multiple 3rd parties To this day she still continues to make fake social media accounts to harass me to the point I ve had to file charges on her Case T2300439 in Erath County Her dishonest claims of being a Texas lawyer have been turned into the state bar of Texas where there s currently an open investigation on her She also offers to do illegal background checks on people without their consent which after speaking with Edward Jones they have been investigating as well Do yourself a favor Hire anyone but Kerry Hambrick She s the most evil person I ve ever encountered and I hope she s proud of being a part of a little boy never knowing his own father I think her character should say all you need to know about hiring her and I hope Edward Jones does their due diligence on this individual RUN FAR AWAY

Bad experience and a lesson learned

My experience was bad at a very sad period in my life As I lost my mother and this account at Edward Jones was inherited from her The Financial Advisor was pushy and kept trying to convince to move all my retirement funds to Edward Jones When I kept refusing to discuss my portfolio her whole tone changed and she was now rude plus very unprofessional I requested to close the account in writing which she decided not to acknowledge my request and I called customer service who directed me back to her office She stated the account was closed and then she hung up on me I dodged a bullet by not moving all my retirement funds to Edward Jones I felt she took it personal but I guess she would if she was the only one making any real money from the investments Steer clear of Edward Jones and find another way to invest your money Kelli Brock and Linda Demarco are two very unprofessional individuals
