Seelaus & Co., Inc. and a SEC-registered investment advisor (RIA) that specializes in portfolio management and tactical asset allocation investment strategies today announced the acquisition of Sterling Wealth Advisors, a registered investment advisory (RIA) firm based in Red Bank that serves individuals, high-net-worth families and entities. The acquisition will strengthen Seelaus’ ability to manage portfolios of agency mortgage-backed securities for current and future clients.

“Seelaus brings quality, service and extensive experience to its clients, and we look forward to working closely with the team,” said Sterling.
