Benjamin F. Edwards & Co., a St. Louis-based brokerage firm, opened an office in North Chattanooga today with nine financial advisers.
Joseph Edward “Ward” Petty, who helped start the A.G. Edwards & Co., office in Chattanooga in 1991, will head the new brokerge office on Frazier Avenue. The Chattanooga office is the 17th nationally and the first in Tennessee for Benjamin F. Edwards, which began in 2008 by one of the descendents of A.G. Edwards.
The former Wachovia Corp. bought A.G. Edwards in 2007 and Wachovia was later acquired by Wells Fargo following the 2008 financial crisis.
Petty, who has been recognized by Barron’s as one of the top 1,000 financial consultants in the country in 2009 and 2010, said Benjamin Edwards’ “dedication to providing premiere service and goals-based investment advice combined with its robust selection of investment products and services makes it an ideal fit for our clients.”
