Founded in 2012 by Steven Jones, the firm has a history that dates back to 1954 when Steve’s father, Floyd Jones, started his career as an investment advisor with a focus on building stock portfolios for his clients.
Seattle First Asset Management is located in the Seattle metro area, and includes operations manager Loren McEwan, who holds FINRA Series 7 & 66 licenses. The team offers wealth management and investment advice.
“What sets us apart is that we practice value investing and typically own what we recommend,” Jones said. “We invest with a long-term perspective with low portfolio turnover to help manage the customer’s tax exposure.”
