FIRST INVESTMENT CORPORATION

Overview

First Investment Corporation is a small, hybrid advisory and brokerage operation that serves individual and family clients, with additional portfolio work for small businesses. The firm operates as a registered representative of a broker-dealer and as an insurance broker, which shapes both how it distributes products and how it charges for services. Its advisory offering centers on financial planning and portfolio management; compensation is mixed — percentage of AUM, hourly fees and commissions — reflecting a combination of fee-based planning and commissionable product sales. Investment activity is tilted toward externally managed pooled vehicles and insurance products rather than a heavy use of in-house separate accounts. The firm is not an active ESG investor and is organized under individual ownership. Given the modest scale of assets, First Investment Corporation appears to focus on packaged public funds and third-party alternative managers to assemble client portfolios rather than building large proprietary strategies.
