This isn't your father's broker. Well, maybe it is. The Jones Financial Companies is the parent of Edward Jones, an investment brokerage network catering to individual investors. Serving some 7 million clients, the "Wal-Mart of Wall Street" has thousands of satellite-linked offices in all 50 states (mainly in rural communities and suburbs), plus Canada and the UK. Brokers preach a conservative buy-and-hold approach, offering relatively low-risk investment vehicles such as government bonds, blue-chip stocks, and high-quality mutual funds. The company also sells insurance and engages in investment banking, underwriting and making markets for corporate securities and municipal bonds.
