About National Investment Managers Inc.

National Investment Managers Inc. is a holding company and a consolidator of pension plan administration, investment management and insurance businesses. Its strategy includes a custom-tailored acquisition formula for each acquired business, which allows local and regional entities to retain their autonomy while benefiting from the reach that a national presence offers. National Investment Managers targets businesses with stable cash flows and high operating margins to ensure successful integration of operations once a sale is concluded. Acquired companies continue to operate under their own brands, usually with minimal staff turnover to ensure that relationships of many years' standing are not disrupted. At the same time, these formerly small businesses can cross-sell related financial services under the National Investment Managers umbrella and enjoy administrative and other support from around the country.
