Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Conning, Inc. is a corporate investment adviser registered with the SEC since 1983 that primarily serves institutional clients. The firm offers a mix of fee arrangements (percentage of AUM, hourly, subscription, fixed and performance-based fees) and engages in both portfolio management for pooled investment vehicles and for businesses or institutions. Conning also produces research or newsletters and operates in roles associated with commodity pool operator/commodity trading advisor activity. The organization signals an ESG engagement in its investment approach and is classified as neither a newly formed nor a multi-state adviser. Conning’s business footprint extends beyond pure advisory work: its reported industry affiliations include broker-dealer relationships, insurance company activity, real estate brokerage, and roles as sponsor or general partner of pooled vehicles. That constellation of activities suggests the firm combines traditional asset-management functions with product sponsorship and distribution capabilities tailored to institutional mandates.
