Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Mesirow Financial Investment Management, Inc. is a long-established adviser that manages a mix of individual, family and institutional relationships with a pronounced emphasis on discretionary portfolio management. The firm acts as a capital allocator across public markets and pooled vehicles, offering financial planning, pension consulting-like services, and selection of sub‑advisers. Its fee model combines asset‑based fees with performance‑based arrangements for certain strategies. Investment activity skews toward liquid, ETF‑driven exposure alongside concentrated equity positions; the firm also sponsors private funds and serves as a manager of real estate vehicles. Mesirow is not an active ESG investor per its profile. It operates with a blend of internal portfolio management and third‑party manager selection, indicating a hybrid approach that mixes in‑house strategies with outsourced specialist allocations. Mesirow Financial has been recognized repeatedly by Barron’s, appearing on the Top 100 RIA Firms list from 2021 through 2025.
