Investment Research Corp

Investment Research Corporation provides investment supervisory services, portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients) as well as a range of institutional clients such as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, charitable organizations, corporations and investment companies. The firm participates in a wrap-fee program and advises on a broad product set that includes equities, corporate and municipal debt, U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit and various investment company securities, including mutual funds and variable products.

The firm uses a fundamental approach to security analysis and implements long-term, short-term and trading strategies, with written quarterly account reviews and the ability for clients to impose investment restrictions. Although it maintains discretionary authority for some accounts, the firm reported materially more assets under non-discretionary management ($27,337,349) than discretionary ($16,189,736) as of 12/31/2022, and offers financial planning on hourly or flat-fee terms.

Notable distinctions include its affiliation with a broker‑dealer that underwrites a related investment company and an advisory agreement with that fund, and the firm’s inclusion of municipal securities and investment company services in its advisory offerings—features less common among multi-advisor firms. The brochure also discloses the firm’s participation in the SEC’s Share Class Selection Disclosure initiative, which resulted in a cease-and-desist order, remediation payments to affected accounts and related compliance undertakings.
