Gerald W Black

I am a second-generation Edward Jones financial advisor and my family has been in Hot Spring County, AR, for eight generations. Family conversations have always included the financial markets and community service. We are truly students of the market and servants in the community.

Having strong ties to the community affords us the luxury of serving close acquaintances, friends and family. Even our out-of-state clients appreciate the family feel and working with Edward Jones means all our clients receive the exceptional service you'd expect from a Fortune 500* company.

In a small community, reputation is everything, and my passion for leadership and community service has offered me the opportunity to serve as Justice-of-the-Peace, chair of the Leadership Forum, secretary on the Economic Development Council, and I am a proud member of Second Baptist Church of Malvern. Within Edward Jones, I serve as a mentor, level leader, field trainer and hiring team member. I am truly blessed to have a passion for what I do, who I serve and where I serve.

My senior branch office administrator is Alana Honold. I am fortunate to work alongside someone who also has close ties to the community and understands the value of building a strong relationship with our clients. As a team, our focus is understanding our client's goals, needs and expectations. Often, that means working closely with tax advisors, legal counsel or extended family. We work together to develop a complete and tailored strategy to achieve your goals, whether it be protection, growth, eldercare or simply taking advantage of market opportunities.

Our clients expect a professional experience and a financial advisor sensitive to individual needs and objectives. Partnering with our clients to develop and deliver on their goals is my greatest career joy.
