Morphology
The meaning 'a company that invests money' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'investment' (committing money expecting benefit) with 'firm' (a company). This noun–noun compound follows a common and predictable English composition pattern (and has direct equivalents in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Investment firm comes from the words investment (putting money in to try to grow it) and firm (a company that works for clients). That's why it means 'a company that manages money for clients to try to make it grow'.
