Wicks, Financial Advisor 609 W. Prien Lake Road Lake Charles, LA 70601 the individual is of utmost importance. This is my passion, serving others. We provide quality, long-term investment opportunities that include a broad mix of municipal, government and corporate bonds; mutual funds; common stocks; and tax advantaged securities. Our firm was founded in 1922 by Edward D. Jones, Sr. After working a rural territory in Missouri and Illinois, Ted Jones, the son of our founder, positiioned the company in the increasingly competitive marketplace as a specialist in providing investment advice to rural Americans. In the 1970’s, though, the firm realized that the appeal of Edward Jones was not based on geography. Rather, the firm appeals to a certain kind of investor anywhere. In the 1980’s, the firm began expanding into metropolitan areas, starting with Chicago and Dallas. Edward Jones now conducts the majority of its business in urban and suburban markets. Although the firms’s size has changed, its set of business principles retains the same focus. First, the firm serves just one client: the serious long term investor. Second, the firm’s investment philosophy emphasizes quality and a wellbalanced portfolio, and lastly, it believes personal relationships are key. Thus, the Edward Jones brand appeals to a careful and considering kind of investor who prefers a long-term relationship with his or her financial services firm. We are proud to serve SWLA and thank all of our customers in SWLA for doing business with Edward Jones. Making Sense of Investing Member SIPC 337-477-2356 vickie.wicks@ edwardjones.com
