Fundamental Investment Services, LLC

Fundamental Investment Services LLC provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, asset allocation, financial consulting, and sub‑advisory services to individuals, pooled investment vehicles, and corporations. The firm’s brochure also discloses that it serves and manages private pooled vehicles (including a private fund) in addition to offering model portfolio solutions and consulting engagements.

The firm tailors advice to client objectives and uses a range of investment methods — including technical and fundamental analysis, modern portfolio theory, options and derivatives, ESG screening, and occasional frequent trading — and offers both percentage‑of‑AUM portfolio management and negotiated fixed consulting arrangements. The brochure notes a structural distinction: while most client accounts are billed on an asset‑based basis, Fundamental has added language that it charges different fee arrangements, including performance‑based fees, for the private fund it manages.

Compared with many similarly sized advisers, Fundamental is notable for advising pooled vehicles and operating as a private fund adviser despite modest reported assets under management (about $12.2 million) and a very small client/advisor team. The firm is also affiliated with a proprietary information platform (Fund@mental), routinely directs brokerage to a single custodian (Pershing), and recently changed registration status by withdrawing SEC registration and registering with the State of Florida, all of which are operational features investors may find relevant.
