Jeff Yost
Managing Director, Client Services Director
Jeff oversees and is involved in all aspects of account and asset management, trading, data integrity, and timely and accurate client communications. Jeff contributes to investment strategy and portfolio management policies and often represents the primary point of contact in interfacing with the tax, accounting, and legal professionals of our clients.
What he likes most about SJS are the people he connects with daily, both the employees and the clients, and the friendships and partnerships he’s developed with them.

There has never been more access to financial information to guide investment decisions, yet that information is not designed for the individual investor behind it.
I still remember watching SpaceX complete its first successful rocket landing a decade ago and being amazed. That sense of awe only grew when it later caught a Super Heavy booster with mechanical arms.
Feeling a bit like life is too full and too busy? Does it seem like there’s never enough time in the day to do everything that you need to do?
As life grows, finances usually do too. More responsibilities, more accounts, more decisions, and more pressure to make the right calls can turn a once-simple financial life into something that feels harder to manage.
While working within a business, owners live and breathe the business 24/7. Once a business is sold, whether to family, trusted employees, or to an outside third party, life for the owner may change dramatically.
At SJS Investment Services, we believe financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools you can develop early in life. When individuals build strong financial habits at a young age, they gain more than just knowledge - they can develop discipline, confidence, and long-term resilience.
Chris joined SJS in 2026 as Chief Operating Officer and looks forward to supporting SJS' operations and exceptional client experience.
