Edward Jones expands presence in Atlantic Canada with first woman-led branch in Fredericton, New Brunswick
September 13 2024 - 7:21PM
Edward Jones Canada is proud to announce the grand opening of its
first branch office in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This milestone
event marks the firm’s expansion into the province and coincides
with Edward Jones’ 30th anniversary in Canada.
Nadia Barry Fuglstad, a trailblazing financial
advisor with a distinctive background, will lead the new office,
located at 74 York Street in downtown Fredericton.
Nadia became Ireland’s first women to win a
national boxing championship in 2005, then moved to Canada, and
came here to attend university, and has since carved out a
successful career in wealth strategies, breaking glass ceilings
along the way.
“I'm excited to lead Edward Jones’ growth in New
Brunswick's capital and to join this dynamic business community,”
says Nadia Barry Fuglstad, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones
Canada. “My journey from boxing to the world of finance, has taught
me the importance of perseverance and paving new paths to
success.”
Nadia explains that this mindset is what drew her
to Edward Jones where the firm's innovative approach and culture
give her complete control over how she builds and runs her practice
with no pressure to sell proprietary products — because Edward
Jones doesn't have any. Paired with strong peer support from her
leaders and fellow advisors who actively root for her success, this
gives Nadia more time to focus on better understanding her clients'
personal needs.
“This new branch office demonstrates our commitment
to serving the financial needs of Canadians across the country,”
said Moira Klein-Swormink, Principal, Branch Development Canada at
Edward Jones. “Nadia’s leadership and unique perspective make her
the ideal person to spearhead our growth in this region.”
Edward Jones’ expansion into Fredericton means the
firm is now looking to hire additional experienced advisors to join
Nadia's team, in meeting the growing demand for comprehensive
financial advice and guidance in the region.
