About

SJS Investment Services works with individuals and families, high‑net‑worth clients, retirement plans, institutional investors, and public entities — including state and municipal public funds — offering discretionary investment management, financial planning, retirement‑plan fiduciary services (including ERISA 3(21)/3(38) support), and consulting. The firm provides portfolio implementation and ongoing supervision, quarterly performance reporting, and can engage sub‑advisors to manage portions of client accounts.

The firm’s investment process is led by an internal Investment Committee that constructs diversified model portfolios across equity, fixed income, and alternative allocations and monitors accounts against clients’ objectives. SJS may include private equity and private fixed‑income allocations for qualified investors, and it discloses that certain strategies and sub‑advisors may employ leverage or borrowing (with associated interest and custodial costs); margin balances are included in its fee calculations.

What is distinctive about SJS compared with many peers is its explicit public‑funds practice — it documents tailored cash‑flow analysis, target duration design, and monthly or quarterly reporting for public entities — and its operational approach to using leveraged/borrowed positions in some separately managed accounts. The firm also documents detailed performance reporting practices and the use of third‑party research for private funds, and it notes fee and custody arrangements (including custodian charges for private fund work) that can affect net returns.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
