Founder & CEO | Financial Advisor

“Our clients are much more than a business transaction to all of us at JAG. We understand that without our clients’ trust and faith in us, JAG does not exist. That is why from the very beginning, we decided the key to our success and our clients’ success is to focus on safety, service and trust. We also made a strategic decision not to work with every investor out there. Working with fewer people allows us to provide more individual attention and support for each of our clients.”

As the founder of Jones Advisory Group and an Investment Adviser Representative, Chris Jones is responsible for making sure existing and new clients feel like they are part of the JAG family. His No. 1 priority is making sure that all JAG clients receive the best service and personal attention.

Prior to Jones Advisory Group, Chris spent over 15 years in the financial services industry. After holding positions in accounting, investments, product development and distribution at Security Benefit, he moved to Advisors Excel, where he helped top financial advisors to grow their practice. Over the five years Chris was at Advisors Excel, he was integral in helping the company grow from $100 million in sales to over $3 billion!

Chris was born and raised in Topeka, Kansas, and currently resides there with his beautiful wife, Megan, and two amazing daughters, Avery and Macey.
