Overview

Sterling Investment Advisors Ltd. is an independent registered investment adviser that has been SEC‑registered since 2006 and operates as a capital allocator to both individual/family and institutional clients. The firm offers a mix of advisory services — financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, pension consulting, and selection of other advisers — and charges clients via a combination of percentage‑of‑AUM, hourly, and fixed‑fee arrangements. Sterling identifies as an active ESG investor and uses external managers as part of its allocation process rather than relying solely on in‑house strategies.
