Who is John Loyd?

For almost fifteen years now, John Loyd has provided highly personalized,
tax-advantaged financial guidance to clients in Texas and around the
country. His passion for investing began at an early age. Reading books on
investing in his early teens, he tried on his own to open up a brokerage
account at Dean Witter (now Morgan Stanley) at the age of 16, but the
financial advisor told him he was too young and to come back at age 18,
which he did. He opened the account and would later have an internship
with the company during college.
He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Southwest Texas State University
with a degree in Finance. After graduation, he worked for Edward Jones
Investments for almost eight years, receiving the Iron Will award, the most
prestigious award the company gives, based upon his work ethic and love of
the business. He has since opened up his own financial consulting firm in
Fort Worth, Texas assisting clients with all manners of wealth management.

demonstrated special competence in tax matters by successfully passing all
