Mesirow Financial was founded on a commitment to serve clients well, employ smart and passionate professionals and give back to the community. Today, we are a leading independent financial services firm with expertise in investment, risk management and advisory services.
Mesirow Financial was founded when Norman Mesirow purchased a seat on the New York Stock Exchange.
The firm began serving institutions by adding sales and trading capabilities.
We petitioned the NYSE to allow member firms to offer life insurance and subsequently offered P&C, employee benefits, and personal lines.
We began serving corporations and offering private equity, investment banking, public finance and sale-leaseback capabilities.
We introduced our first alternative investment solutions.
We added capabilities in asset allocation strategies and manager selection for institutions as well as compensation and executive benefit strategies for companies.
To better serve our global client base and expand our international presence, we opened a London office.
We were proud to move into our new LEED gold certified corporate headquarters in Chicago.
We established a China market development initiative and opened an office in Hong Kong.
Our oldest business changed its name to Wealth Advisors to more accurately reflect our holistic approach to helping clients achieve their life goals.
We strengthened our Equity Management capabilities with the acquisition of Fiduciary Management Associates, Inc.
Our Insurance business joined Alliant Insurance to create a powerful Midwest presence.
Mesirow Financial celebrated 80 years of the success that outstanding client service brings.
With the addition of a premier high yield and leveraged loans investment management team, we complemented and enhanced our existing fixed income management strategies.
Headquartered in Chicago, Mesirow Financial has offices in 17 other cities worldwide. We serve global institutions, middle market corporations and individuals.
Mesirow Financial’s deeply ingrained culture of caring – for clients, employees and our community – attracts clients who share our values and professionals who are equally inspired to help others and be a force for positive change.
Giving back to the community has been a core value at Mesirow Financial since our founding and remains important today.
We believe that diversity of opinion facilitates better discussion, unique solutions and ultimately, greater client satisfaction.
Creating and fostering a positive work environment helps our employees excel and keeps them motivated. As a result, we have long tenured employees, who work with the same clients for years.
We encourage employee interaction and communication both across and within businesses, to enhance our collaborative culture and collegial environment.
As an independent company, we are owners, and we can focus exclusively on our clients and their needs.
As industry leaders, we draw from years of experience gained over nearly eight decades, to deliver the right solution for each client.
As responsive partners, we believe in conducting business without pretense and delivering proactive client service to help ensure your strategies continue to be effective.
As entrepreneurs, we are inspired by each client's unique definition of success. To see every client relationship fully realized and make a difference is our measure of success.
