Edward Jones Ranks Highest in Investor Satisfaction According to J.D.

Power & Associates 2009 Full Service Investor Satisfaction StudySM

For the fourth year out of the past five, financial-services firm Edward Jones ranks highest in inves-tor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Full Service Investor Satisfaction StudySM, an-nounced Robert Richardson, Edward Jones finan-cial advisor in Manlius.

The study measures overall investor satisfaction with full service investment firms based on six fac-tors: account offerings, convenience, commissions and fees, financial advisor, investment performance and account statements. The J.D. Power and Asso-ciates study found that Edward Jones performed particularly well in convenience and account state-ments.

Edward Jones prides itself on giving their investors a personal, one-on-one relationship personified by their Web site communication of "A bad day is when I don't meet any clients face-to-face."

Edward Jones ranked highest in investor satisfac-tion by J.D. Power and Associates in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and highest in 2002 in a tie, when the study began. Edward Jones in Canada also twice ranked highest in the J.D. Power and Associates Canadian Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study.

The 2009 Full Service Investor Satisfaction Study is based on responses from more than 4,400 inves-tors who primarily invest with one of the 21 firms included in the study. The study was fielded in the spring 2009.

Edward Jones provides financial services for indi-vidual investors in the United States and, through its affiliates, in Canada and the United Kingdom. Every aspect of the firm's business, from the types of in-vestment options offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to cater to individual investors in the communities in which they live and work. The firm's 12,000-plus financial advisors work directly with more than 8 million clients to understand their personal goals -- from college savings to retirement -- and create long-term investment solutions that emphasize a well-balanced portfolio and a buy-and-hold strategy.

Edward Jones, which ranked No. 2 on FORTUNE magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For 2009," is headquartered in St. Louis. The Edward Jones interactive Web site is located at www.edwardjones.com, and its recruiting Web site is www.careers.edwardjones.com. Member SIPC.
