Background and Founding
NISA’s founders, Jess Yawitz and Bill Marshall, began their careers as professors at Washington University in St. Louis, where they were early pioneers in research on fixed income investing and the concepts of interest rate risk management and immunization. After leaving academia to work on Wall Street, Jess and Bill returned to St. Louis, founding NISA Investment Advisors, LLC in 1994 as a firm focused on fixed income investing for large institutional investors.

Our Future
We anticipate a continuation of our measured growth, in terms of assets, clients, and employees. From time to time we have discussions with clients regarding extending our investment style and approach to new products and markets, which will likely lead to a gradual expansion of investment products. We believe our independence is a key strength, and we have no current plans to affiliate with any other entity or change our ownership structure, other than continuing to expand ownership among employees.
