03 | Team

Innovation drives our corporate culture just as it does our industry. Our founders and leaders began their careers in Chicago’s international trading exchanges. As sweeping technological changes were shifting the investment landscape, our co-founders Howard Nixon and Aaron Izenstark recognized the need to add value to simple direct exposure – beta* investing. By committing themselves to build a company that would harness the power of technology without compromising the pure investment know-how and integrity that provide clients true value, IRON Financial was born.

Our Work By the Decade

2020 and On

At the end of 2020, with $8.2 billion in assets, we divested our Corporate Retirement Services division to focus on investment solutions for high-net-worth individuals, advisors, and corporations. Today, we are dedicated to a comprehensive multi-family wealth platform, providing tailored investment strategies for our clients.

2010-2020

We added REITs, convertible bonds, equity option premium income, and corporate bonds to our asset management strategies. ERISA 3(38) plans exceeded 1,000. As we start our 22nd year, we maintain our "client-first" ethos with $5.4 billion in assets and 25 years of experience.

2000-2010

We launched our Corporate Retirement Services division and invested in "The Engine" to boost data and research. We also introduced IRON Select Portfolios with top ETFs and mutual funds.

1994-2000

IRON Financial was founded to offer transparent, valuable investments with a strategic income style, actively managed and independent of traditional markets. As interest from business owners grew, we expanded into retirement plans.
