Edelman Financial Engines, a national RIA firm managing $227 billion, has acquired Erman Retirement Advisory, a Seal Beach, California-based registered investment adviser managing $210 million.
Founded in 2000 by Howard Erman, the firm serves more than 200 clients, Edelman Financial Engines said in a press release Wednesday.
The acquisition of Erman Retirement follows that of Herrmann & Cooke in October, continuing Edelman Financial Engines' expansion into the California market. Edelman Financial Engines also acquired Smart Investor in August, which added to its small business retirement plan capabilities.
Blue Anchor Capital Management and Pickett also purchased “highly aggressive and volatile” securities, according to the order.
