Are you trying to get a clear picture of your retirement or wondering how much to put away for your child's post-secondary education? Maybe you're a business owner looking to gain insight into the most efficient way to structure your business. Whatever financial concern you have, I am here to help.

Hello, my name is Steven Laforet and I am an Edward Jones financial advisor.

I want you to know that helping you reach your financial goals is not just my job, it's my passion! From a young age, I have had an interest in financial markets and investments - so much so, that when I was in elementary school, I pestered my parents until they took me to a stockbroker. Later in life, it was my genuine enjoyment for working with and supporting others that ultimately led me to pursue a career in financial advising.

Prior to joining Edward Jones in 2018, I spent eight years working internationally, consulting for various financial institutions in Europe and Asia including the German Bundesbank, European Central Bank, and Bank of Korea. Along the way I gained vital insight into the main drivers of capital markets. Today, I use this knowledge to my advantage, building custom portfolios to help clients protect their most important financial goals.

If I'm not researching an investment or listening to a financial podcast, you can find me spending time with my wife and teenaged daughter or engage in my favorite hobby, playing chess.

When we partner together, you can rest assured that you and your interests are the focus of everything we do and we're not alone in our efforts. Edward Jones employs thousands of professionals, expansive educational resources, and advanced technology that will support us on our journey. If this sounds like the financial service you've been looking for, let's have a conversation.
