Our History
Always in the making
Jones Capital was Built from the Ground Up to Tackle Your Investments
We trace our roots back to a small, family-owned hardwood sawmill in rural southwest Mississippi. From those humble beginnings, we have steadily grown, turning opportunities into businesses, and turning businesses into industry leaders. We strive to “build the legacy” today by remaining true to the timeless values and hard work that brought us here, and by embracing change that all dynamic businesses face.
