Team Overview:

Do you have the desire and drive to manage capital, while aligning yourself with the strategic direction of the firm? If so, this may be the ideal opportunity for you. The Taxable Trading Department within Edward Jones is primarily responsible for providing our Financial Advisors with a broad supply of highly diversified and fairly priced bonds that are used to fulfill the unique needs of every one of our more than 8 million clients.

• Advanced application of capital markets analytics, trading strategies, and risk management techniques
• Improve best execution and compliance with all firm and industry regulatory requirements
• Advanced application of internal and external trading systems (e.g. Bloomberg) and related tools
