Charleston, SC Office

Merrion Investment Management Co., LLC is a registered investment adviser managing approximately $244.8 million in discretionary client assets and providing both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management to individuals, family trusts, and non‑profit organizations, with additional services for pension plans, corporations and institutional clients. The firm primarily constructs portfolios of exchange‑traded equities and fixed‑income securities and generally prefers client relationships of around $250,000, although minimums are negotiable.

The firm follows a research‑based investment process, using internal and third‑party analysis to identify companies with new products, regulatory or technological catalysts, or other special situations and then selecting the appropriate part of the capital structure for investment after assessing risk and potential catalysts. In separately managed accounts, MIMCo may employ borrowing and use derivatives to implement positioning or hedging decisions, an operational approach that is less common among similar advisory firms.

MIMCo recommends Schwab Advisor Services as its custodian and relies on Schwab’s execution, custody and support services while following SEC standards when it is deemed to have custody (including the use of standing letters of authorization). The firm maintains policies to treat accounts equally under its Code of Ethics, conducts quarterly account reviews, and generally does not vote proxies on clients’ behalf, offering voting guidance only when requested or on significant matters.
