ML Stern to Sell Curian’s SMAs

ML Stern, an affiliate of Pacific Life Insurance Co. that caters to high-net-worth investors, will sell Curian Capital’s separately managed account program.

By selling Curian’s SMA platform, "ML Stern has positioned itself to benefit from the wave of growth occurring in that market segment."
