SCM Investment Services

About Us

Dejan’s path to financial advisory started in science and institutional trading. With degrees in Computer Science and Chemistry, he approached finance as a rigorous, data-driven discipline. At the Chicago Board of Trade, he transacted over $1 billion in U.S. Treasury Notes daily and led discretionary trading operations for a prominent technology-driven firm. He later earned his MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

After seeing his own immigrant parents being overcharged and steered into high-commission products by their advisor, Dejan founded SCM Investment Services to provide a different experience. He realized that the same institutional-grade discipline and sophisticated financial modeling used at the highest levels of finance should be accessible to families and neighbors building their own legacies.

Today, SCM provides comprehensive fiduciary wealth management for first-generation families, immigrant communities, and neighbors throughout the East Metro. We believe everyone deserves access to expert financial oversight and transparent advice, regardless of where they started. Our services encompass total wealth stewardship, including retirement income planning, tax-efficient investment strategies, and evidence-based planning grounded in financial science.

As a fee-only firm, we do not accept commissions. This structure allows us to prioritize transparency and minimize the conflicts of interest found in traditional brokerage models. We are dedicated to providing the Lake Elmo and Woodbury communities with honest, professional guidance.
