What Hoisington Investment Management Company does

Hoisington Investment Management Company ("HIMCo") is a federally registered investment adviser headquartered in Austin, Texas, operating with an explicit single-asset-class mandate: long-term investment strategies utilizing only U.S. Treasury securities. The firm manages more than $1.5 billion across pension and profit sharing plans for corporate and government entities, charitable organizations, and insurance companies, and also serves as sub-adviser to the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund, a no-load mutual fund. HIMCo publicly limits its activities to the United States and does not solicit investors in other jurisdictions.

The firm's product surface is narrow and disciplined. Direct institutional portfolio management for pensions, charities, and insurance reserves constitutes the core offering, while the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund extends the strategy into a packaged mutual fund vehicle distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc., with Wasatch Global Investors acting as the primary distribution partner for that product. HIMCo also publishes a Quarterly Review and Outlook within roughly two weeks of each quarter end as a content-marketing and client-communication artifact; the most recent issue in the source record is for Q1 2026.

Revenue is generated through recurring investment advisory fees on managed institutional mandates and sub-advisory fees from the Wasatch-Hoisington U.S. Treasury Fund. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to institutional prospects, complemented by the channel relationships with Wasatch and ALPS for the mutual fund. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent entity, or ticker, and operates with a headcount in the 1–10 range.

Broad incumbents

• BlackRock: Largest global asset manager with a deep active and passive fixed-income franchise including long-duration Treasury strategies. Comparable as an institutional fixed-income competitor and as the dominant provider of Treasury index/ETF products that compete with active Treasury mandates like HIMCo's.
• Vanguard Fixed Income Group: Manages one of the largest fixed-income complexes including long-duration government bond funds and ETFs used by pensions, advisors, and individual investors. Comparable as a competing source of long-duration Treasury exposure, though primarily passive/index-oriented.
• Fidelity Investments (Fixed Income): Large diversified asset manager offering active fixed-income strategies and Treasury bond funds to institutional and retail clients. Comparable to HIMCo as a competing active manager of Treasury and government fixed-income strategies.

• PIMCO: One of the world's largest active fixed-income managers serving institutional pension, insurance, and endowment clients. Directly comparable to HIMCo in target customer base (institutional allocators) and core competency in active bond portfolio management, though PIMCO operates at vastly greater scale and across many fixed-income sectors.
• Dodge & Cox: Privately held, employee-owned investment manager with deep fixed-income and equity capabilities serving institutional and individual clients. Comparable to HIMCo as a privately held, research-driven manager with significant institutional fixed-income AUM.
