Gleacher & Co., the investment bank started by Eric J. Gleacher, decided against a sale or merger after completing a six-month strategic review.

The firm will instead sell its ClearPoint mortgage unit to Ocwen Financial Corp., New York-based Gleacher said today in a statement. The company also posted a loss of $11.5 million from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2012 as the restructuring took up management’s time.
