Betty Buzzell named
Edward Jones financial advisor
Betty Buzzell of Caribou, who has been a branch office administrator in a Presque Isle Edward Jones branch office for over two years, recently made a career move: to that of a financial advisor with the financial services firm.
“Edward Jones values the individual investor and understands that people still want to do business with someone they know and trust,” Buzzell said. “I’ve chosen to pursue this path to help individual investors define their financial goals and work toward meeting them.”
Before a new Edward Jones financial advisor can even open an office, he or she must spend several months making face-to-face visits with the residents and business people in the community.
Buzzell also must complete one of the most rigorous training programs in the financial services industry, including three months of 10-hour days, six days a week.
Although she 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 entire careers.
“I believe in Edward Jones’ philosophy of building one-on-one, long-term relationships with clients, and I know that the firm’s conservative investment style and buy-and-hold philosophy are proven investment strategies,” Buzzell said.
Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch offices, is designed to cater to individual investors in the communities in which they live and work.
