Stratford, founded in 1982, provides investment consulting to institutional clients including endowments, foundations, healthcare organizations, defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
Pavilion said this is its second acquisition in the institutional investment advisory sector, having previously acquired Montreal-based Brockhouse & Cooper.
Both Stratford and Brockhouse Cooper are expected to begin operating under the Pavilion banner in the latter part of 2012.
Pavilion Financial president and CEO Martin Weinberg said that the Stratford acquisition enhances Pavilion’s ability to serve institutional clients in the US.
"The merged resources of our firms will significantly improve the information and advice we are able to provide clients, helping them navigate turbulent markets more effectively," added Weinberg.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
