Andrew Erickson

As an 18-year-old, I spent the summer before my freshman year at Dartmouth working on the floor at the Chicago Board of Trade. I was drawn to the fast-paced environment and quick analytical skill set needed to thrive. I returned whenever there was a break in my studies to learn more about how markets function and how to thoughtfully position a portfolio’s risk.

Soon after receiving my BA in economics, I headed down to the floor at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange where I spent 16 years in the Eurodollar options pit. During that time, my partner and I founded our own trading firm and guided it through one of the most volatile times in U.S. history, the financial crisis of 2008.

Upon joining Edward Jones in 2016, I saw a tremendous opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with individuals and business owners in the area. Although the investment styles of a pit trader and long-term investor seem juxtaposed, many of the principles are the same, with different timelines.
