Academic and Entrepreneurial
Timothy Johnson, Ph.D began his investing career in the mid 1960’s. While working in the corporate world, Tim earned his Ph.D. in Finance from the University of Illinois. In 1970, with the dream of teaching and writing text books, Tim came to Cincinnati as a finance professor at the University of Cincinnati. As the author of three investment text books, Tim built our firm from his interest in sound, fundamental security analysis and portfolio management, as well as his desire to bring theory into practice. To this day, Tim remains a member of faculty in the graduate school of the University of Cincinnati.
While teaching, Tim began to grow his investment management business through colleagues and the local community. The University soon took note of Tim’s investment acumen and asked him to join their endowment committee and was awarded all the fixed income money to manage. This occurred in 1976 and was our firm’s first major institutional client. We are proud to say this relationship is still flourishing today.
Tim’s passion for the investment industry is rivaled only by his desire to help others. Through the years Tim has committed countless time and resources to various organizations dear to him. This culture of serving is the foundation of our business. Our academic heritage, our commitment to serve, and our continuous pursuit of excellence are the fingerprints of Tim Johnson and cornerstones of Johnson Institutional Management. | |  |
