Active Fixed Income.
Exceptional Client Service.
Since 1987.

Our seasoned Portfolio Managers drive every step of our decision-making and investment process, resulting in consistency and rigor. Our knowledgeable Traders and Research Analysts work in tandem with our Portfolio Managers to get our best ideas into the portfolios. And our Client Portfolio Managers, who foster deep connections with our clients and an understanding of their needs, bring it all together.

IR+M was founded in 1987 by father and son John and Jack Sommers, who had a singular vision for our firm – to be extraordinary. Their definition of success included strong, consistent investment performance, but also best-in-class client service, an unrivaled corporate culture, and genuine connections to our community. Their vision is our guiding light.

The IR+M of today rests squarely on our foundation as we continue to evolve as a firm. Over the years, our client base has grown – as has our experience, assets under management, product offerings, and number of employees. Our commitment to remaining privately held, active fixed income management, bottom-up security selection, and being ever-better for our clients, our community, and each other has never wavered.

Our entrepreneurial orientation is ever-present as IR+M looks towards the future. We continue to explore new products and markets as we position ourselves for prudent growth and prioritize investment in our clients and our people.
