Edward Jones Ariel Castillo Financial Advisor

About this Nominee

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, my mission is to invest my time to understand what you’re working toward before you invest your money. The financial world can sometimes seem like foreign territory; I can work one-on-one with you to help determine an appropriate financial strategy for you and your family.

Helping others has always been a fundamental part of my identity, which is why I chose a career in financial services. My goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families in my community. At Edward Jones, our mission is to ensure that clients feel heard and understood, and to help them navigate the world of investments in terms they can relate to.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, guiding them through various life stages, from saving for their first home to planning for retirement. I believe in building long-term relationships with my clients based on trust, integrity and a deep understanding of their unique financial needs and aspirations.

With 15 years of experience in the finance industry, including seven years as a private banker at First Republic Bank, I've built a strong foundation of skills and relationships. At a crossroads in my career, I chose to join Edward Jones because of their emphasis on work-life balance, which allows me to grow my business while also being present for my family.

Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my wife of 13 years and our two daughters, or enjoying a round of golf at one of the local courses. My family remains my driving force in everything I do.

Relationships are key, and in my view, meeting face to face builds strong relationships. I meet when it’s convenient for my clients because I recognize the challenging needs of their businesses and their lives. Working together, we can help you develop a complete, tailored strategy to help you achieve your financial goals.
