about
Edward Jenkins

Ed approaches every one of his client relationships with a focus on structure and solid financial planning. He believes in giving clients a clear process to boost their confidence in their long-term plans: advising on their financial roadmap, risk management, asset allocation, and which investments to consider.

Ed began his career in retail and commercial banking after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Robert Morris University. Since 1998, he has been a wealth advisor — dedicating himself to the financial well-being of his clients. He spent seventeen years as a partner at Snow Capital Management before opening his own firm, 79 Financial LLC, in 2021. In 2024, he teamed up with Farther to better support his clients.

Ed is based in Pittsburgh, PA, and enjoys time with his wife and three grown children. When he's not helping families with their finances, you can find him kayaking or hitting the trails for a run.

FAQS
What’s the first step to getting started, and what should I expect during our first conversation?

Start by scheduling a discovery call. Think of it as a mutual interview, not a sales pitch. We’ll explore your goals, assets, and financial vision. If we’re the right fit, our Concierge Team seamlessly handles setup and transfers, ensuring a smooth, tax-efficient transition from day one.

As a fiduciary, how are your investment incentives legally aligned with my personal success?

Farther advisors act in your best interest and are fiduciaries. We’ve eliminated commissions to remove conflicts and use a simple, transparent fee structure. Our growth depends directly on your success — we thrive only when your wealth does.

How does your proprietary technology enhance, rather than replace, human investment expertise?

Our technology amplifies — not replaces — human expertise. The platform manages daily precision tasks, freeing your advisor to focus on strategy and nuance. This blend of advanced automation and human insight ensures your wealth benefits from both innovation and personal guidance.

How do I know my information and my wealth are safe on Farther’s platform?

Farther’s platform uses advanced encryption, continuous monitoring, and a proprietary vault architecture engineered for maximum data integrity. Backed by leading global tech investors like Alphabet’s CapitalG, our systems are designed and vetted to keep your wealth safe.

How do you coordinate my entire financial life — from taxes and estate planning to my complex investments — in one place?

Farther acts as your wealth’s central hub. Our unified platform brings all your accounts together, while your dedicated advisor orchestrates your investment, tax, and estate strategies. The result is a seamless, proactive, and fully coordinated approach to managing every part of your financial life.
