RhumbLine Advisers is a Boston-based institutional investment firm that specializes in index and customized index-based strategies.

RhumbLine was founded in October 1990 by J.D. Nelson, a former Senior Executive at a major financial services institution in Boston.  J.D.’s vision was to create a focused firm whereby all of its professionals deliver exceptional client service coupled with low-cost passive products. Our ownership structure is unique in that we are the only minority-owned firm focused exclusively on passive strategies.

Today we manage more than $19.5 billion in domestic equity and fixed income assets for 124 clients nationwide. We attribute our growth to being focused exclusively on our clients, both in responsiveness to their requests and flexibility in tailoring products to meet their investment needs.
