Having More Retirement Accounts is
Not the Same as Having More Money.
When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you
have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In
S. fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it
can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see
if you’re properly diversified,* At the very least, multiple
accounts usually mean multiple fees.
Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all
that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you're
moving toward your goals.
•Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
