SJS Investment Services Opens Phoenix, Arizona Office
Ohio-based firm lands in The Valley
SYLVANIA, Ohio, March 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ohio-based SJS Investment Services, one of the nation's top-ranked investment advisory firms according to Financial Advisor* and REP.* magazines, has just announced the opening of its new office in Arizona, along the Camelback Corridor at 40th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix.
According to company founder and CEO, Scott Savage, "It was time for us to be more present for our current and future Arizona clients. And we wanted to take a more active role in supporting the local community. Opening an Arizona office in Phoenix allows us to do both."
SJS Arizona will be under the direction and management of Matt Miller. An Arizona native, Miller started his career as an advisor with Miller Russell, a Phoenix firm founded in 1991, by his father, Dennis Miller. He spent the last eight years as an executive with Austin, Texas-based Dimensional Fund Advisors, one of the underlying fund managers within SJS' MarketPlus® Investing portfolios.
MarketPlus Investing is the proprietary process SJS Investment Services has used since the company began in 1995. It combines a major money center investment experience delivered by people whose small town values put others before self, a principle upon which the company was founded. "We are able to sit on the same side of the table and do what is best for our clients without compromise, without conflict of interest," said Savage.
That's what attracted Miller to SJS. "I have worked with what I consider to be the best financial services companies in the nation, but SJS stood out. Not only because of the firm's disciplined, science-based investment process, but also because of how SJS takes care of clients. That's quite a combination," said Miller.
MarketPlus Investing is founded on the efficient market theory and the work of Nobel Prize winner Eugene Fama, of the University of Chicago, and Kenneth French, of Dartmouth College. Kevin Kelly, SJS Investment Services president, stated, "MarketPlus Investing is the intersection of science and our client-first way of doing business. We're thrilled to be bringing this to Arizona."
With more than $1.4 billion of assets under management (as of 12/31/14), the firm consistently receives industry accolades. In 2014, Financial Advisor magazine ranked SJS 137th in a list of the nation's top registered independent advisory firms. In addition, REP. magazine's Top 100 List, which ranks the top firms in the nation, added SJS to their prestigious list.
