Investment Management Solutions, Inc.

Investment Management Solutions, Inc. serves individual clients, business entities, charities, and retirement plans, offering recommendation and monitoring services for third‑party investment advisers and non‑fiduciary retirement plan consulting (participant education, plan search support, and related services). The firm documents client goals and may accept investment restrictions, and it does not sponsor a wrap program.

The firm operates primarily as a co‑advisor: it conducts due diligence on third‑party model portfolio managers (including a named third‑party adviser in its brochure), recommends model portfolios based on client objectives, and monitors performance while the third‑party adviser handles portfolio management, trading, and reporting. Investment discretion is limited to reallocating the amount held in particular model portfolios; custodial relationships and fee withdrawals are handled through the third‑party adviser and custodian.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s recent formation and very small scale of managed assets as disclosed in the brochure (managing approximately $9,557 on a discretionary basis and reporting only a few client relationships), an owner with a CPA credential from the Philippines (not engaged in public accounting for clients), and a disclosed practice of receiving a portion of third‑party management fees — a compensation arrangement the firm says it manages through fiduciary duties and a Code of Ethics. The brochure also notes operational practices that differ from many peers, such as not taking custody (beyond third‑party fee arrangements), not voting client proxies, and not allowing directed brokerage.
