Welcome to the Jal Dennis Group

About the Jal Dennis Group

Jal Dennis spent seven years as a financial advisor at Edward Jones before deciding to go independent. In 2008, he opened Jal Dennis Group, an investment services firm in Wylie, Texas, serving individuals and small business owners with disciplined portfolio management. Jal retired in 2020 and handed the firm to his son, Trace, who leads today by the same ideals.

Trace Dennis is a U.S. Marine veteran with a background in accounting. He joined the firm in 2014, working alongside his father while earning his FINRA licenses and the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation, a credential focused on reading market behavior and managing risk through changing conditions. 

Jal Dennis Group serves individuals, families, and small business owners who want a real relationship with the person managing their portfolio. We're based in North Texas, but that relationship doesn't stop at the state line. We work with clients in Texas and 42 other states, many of whom moved away or were referred to us from out of state and chose to continue working with us.
