Edward Jones - Missy Freund-Behrendsen, Financial Advisor

About Us

I have a passion for serving my clients and helping them identify and reach their goals. I love learning what is most important to my clients and helping them plan for their future.

I graduated in 2009 from Buena Vista University with a bachelor's degree in business and came to Edward Jones in 2016 with over five years of banking and insurance industry experience. I started my career with Edward Jones as a branch office administrator before becoming a financial advisor in 2019.

Edward Jones is a 100-year-old privately owned company, a partnership that focuses on relationships rather than shareholder returns. I am proud to be a limited partner with the firm and share in the commitment of doing what’s best for our clients, our communities and one another.

As your financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time to really understand your goals and create financial strategies tailored to your specific needs and situation. I enjoy working with my clients and helping them achieve financial success.

My family is important to me, and I love cheering them on at all their activities. I am married to my husband, Shane, and we have five children between us: Kaity, Riley, Joss, Nyah and AJ.

I have previously served as the president of the Performing Arts Booster Club in Charles City. I've also been a member of the Charles City Chamber Board and the Charles City Community School District Board of Education. Volunteering in my community is something I truly enjoy.
