John Chamberlin, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Plymouth, still remembers the day he decided to join the financial services firm. That was fifteen years ago.
“After learning how Edward Jones financial advisors were required to meet many members of a community before even being able to open an office, I knew this was the right firm for me,” Chamberlin said. “Personal service for individual investors is key to the success and longevity of Edward Jones, and I’m proud to be celebrating fifteen years of representing those values.”
“The strength and spirit of this town are synonymous with our firm. Plymouth has been a great place to call home,” Chamberlin said.
The fact that John Chamberlin works in the same community in which he lives is unique among financial services firms, most of which do their business by phone. By establishing one-broker offices in communities throughout the country, however, Edward Jones enables its financial advisors to establish one-on-one business relationships with its investors.
“I’ve enjoyed doing business the old-fashioned way — in person,” Chamberlin said. “And I am looking forward to many more years serving the investment needs of my friends, neighbors and business associates.”
