CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA, March 24, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Modern Capital Management Co. and AmericaFirst Capital Management, LLC announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Modern Capital to serve as the proposed successor investment advisor for AmericaFirst’s retail mutual funds, as listed below:

The transition is expected to close on July 1, 2020, subject to the receipt of shareholder approvals. A proxy statement was mailed to shareholders of the funds as of March 13, 2020. The funds are anticipated to change their names to reflect the Modern Capital branding as of closing.

“AmericaFirst has cultivated a strong following over the last eight years with their quantitative based mutual funds and we look forward to bringing the strategies to a wider audience as part of our commitment to delivering thoughtful and distinguished solutions to retail investors,” said Bradley Atkins, Chief Executive Officer of Modern Capital, who has also been nominated to serve as a member of the board of trustees of the mutual fund family.

AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds are available at numerous financial institutions including LPL Financial, Ameriprise, TD Ameritrade, JP Morgan, Axa, Pershing, Fidelity, Hilltop, Royal Alliance and MetLife.
