About

FMI is an employee‑owned investment advisory firm managing roughly $318 million for about 690 clients, serving individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), corporations, and partnerships. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management, tiered financial planning (complex, comprehensive, simplified, and hourly engagements), retirement plan advisory (including discretionary 401(k) services), and consulting.

Portfolios are customized to each client’s goals and time horizon and are constructed from actively managed and indexed mutual funds, ETFs, and individual stocks and bonds; the firm may use model portfolios selectively depending on client needs. Investment performance is monitored regularly and reported quarterly, clients receive an in‑house newsletter, and the firm operates as a fiduciary when advising retirement accounts under ERISA/IRC standards.

Noteworthy aspects include an employee‑ownership structure with multiple principal owners and a disclosure that several advisers are licensed to sell insurance and may receive commissions for insurance products, a potential conflict the firm says it manages through policies and client consultation. FMI uses Charles Schwab Institutional as its custodian and relies on Schwab’s research platform (noted as a soft‑dollar arrangement), does not vote client proxies (custodians forward proxy materials to clients), and provides annual no‑charge review meetings that often address insurance and planning issues.
