Remuneration & Rewards
In addition to the opportunity to realise unlimited earnings potential, Edward Jones will provide significant financial support during training and for your first year, giving you the freedom and peace of mind you need to establish your business.

As an Edward Jones Investment Representative, your income will come from the following sources.


  • Basic Salary: A highly competitive salary is paid during training and your first year acknowledging your experience and previous earnings.
  • Commissions: Paid on revenues generated, including additions to existing investments and ongoing service fees.
  • Milestone and new account bonuses: Recognise key success points and account generation while you are building your business during the first 24 months. If you are 100% of standard and open at least 5 accounts per month this is a significant amount of additional money.
  • Profitability bonuses: Are paid every four months, based on the profitability of Edward Jones and your office. We treat each four-month period as independent so you get a fresh start every four months.
  • Pension/Profit Sharing: Historically, 24% of post-bonus profit is paid out in a qualified profit sharing plan, once a year, into a money purchase occupational pension plan. This is additional to monthly contributions from the firm and yourself. You will be eligible to join the pension scheme after six months’ employment.
  • Incentive Travel: All Investment Representatives can earn two travel opportunities per year for their partners and/or families, based on performance. Hawaii, Colorado, Africa, the Caribbean and China are just some of the places you could experience, courtesy of Edward Jones. Over 50% of IRs earn two trips per year. Everyone can achieve at Edward Jones, as there are no capped earning or incentives; we are not focused on the top 5% of our IRs, but instead want everyone to be successful.
  • Partnership: The Jones Financial Cos., is a partnership, owned by more than 5,000 associates who are general and limited partners. The opportunity to become a partner is open to every Investment Representative who achieves profitability, runs a compliant office and excels at client satisfaction.
Retirement Policy
When you decide you are ready to retire (we have no compulsory age), you will transition your business to a successor as the two of you share in the profits your office generates. Typically, this is a four-year period that sees your involvement and commission percentage decrease proportionately from year to year. As the retiring IR, you will have direct input regarding the choice of your successor. All candidates will be new hires subject to the requisite hiring procedures. In retirement, you can retain the limited partnership you have acquired if you remain in good standing with the firm.
