About

Zacks Investment Management, Inc. provides discretionary investment management to individuals, associated trusts and estates, retirement plans, pooled investment vehicles and other institutional clients, and it serves as portfolio manager to mutual funds and ETFs. The firm also offers retail wealth management, alternative investment strategies, and model portfolios, and it distributes strategies through wrap‑fee and unified managed account (UMA) programs.

Its investment process blends proprietary quantitative models (including multi‑factor screens and the Zacks Performance Rank) with qualitative portfolio management, across a broad menu of strategies such as all‑cap core, dividend, quantitative, international, sector, fixed‑income and long/short approaches. ZIM uses ETF‑based asset allocation in its managed programs and operates an Index Services function that supports ETF and product construction alongside its discretionary offerings.

Noteworthy aspects of the firm include sponsoring its own wrap‑fee programs while acting as a portfolio manager on numerous third‑party wrap and UMA platforms, and managing affiliated mutual funds and ETFs that can result in layered fee relationships. ZIM is affiliated with a broker‑dealer and with its parent, Zacks Investment Research (whose data and research feed ZIM’s models), and it maintains a multi‑office and wholesale distribution footprint that supports both direct clients and other investment advisers.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
