Our story

Founded in 1970, our mission remains the same: build brighter financial futures for those we serve.


wm-site-about-bill-manning-bill-napier-hero-right
In 1970, industry veterans Bill Manning and Bill Napier joined forces in Rochester, NY to create Manning & Napier. They focused on building long-lasting relationships and making the best investment decisions for their clients, even when that meant going against the crowd.
In 1994, Bill Manning helped to win a court decision banning brokers from placing their firm’s interest above the client’s. FINRA Rule 5320, also known as “the Manning Rule,” reaffirms our legacy of independent thinking and commitment to investor protection.
Whether you are engaging with us personally or representing an organization, our promise is the same: we’re here for you – and have been since 1970.

Our Leadership

Our experienced leadership team, whose average tenure at the firm is nearly 20 years, has a shared commitment to serving clients with care and excellence. They know our clients, understand our culture, and are firmly grounded in the values that have guided Manning & Napier since its founding.
