Jeremy Weston knows the value of a comfortable pair of shoes. That’s because he has been introducing himself to the residents in Vadnais Heights.

Weston is a financial advisor for the financial services firm Edward Jones, and his neighborhood visits demonstrate the Edward Jones way of doing business – face to face.

Before a new Edward Jones financial advisor even can open an office, he or she must spend several months introducing him- or herself to the residents and businesspeople in the community.

“That’s one of the things that drew me to this firm,” Weston said. “Edward Jones values the individual investor and understands that people still want to do business with someone they know and trust.”

Weston also had to complete one of the most rigorous training programs in the financial services industry.

And although he is well-versed in the technical aspects of investments, the training isn’t over. Edward Jones places a lot of emphasis on continuing education, and its financial advisors train literally throughout their careers.

Weston will work out of the office of Chris Chandler located at 1310 Hwy 96 E over the next several months. He will then continue serving investors throughout Vadnais Heights from a new office. He may be reached at 651-429-0522.
