Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
M Capital, which was founded in 1993, provides portfolio management services to individuals and institutions. The firm, which also has an office in San Antonio, Texas, is led by founder and chairman Frank Mastrapasqua.
M Capital’s team of 13 includes CEO Mauro Mastrapasqua, chief portfolio strategist Edwin Barton, chief investment officer Patrick Snell, and Claude Koontz, principal and portfolio manager.
“Becoming part of Sequoia Financial will provide M Capital clients with broader and more tailored wealth management solutions, especially in the high and ultra high net worth areas, supported by Sequoia’s extensive operational, technological, and financial resources,” Frank Mastrapasqua said in a statement.
Akron, Ohio-based RIA Sequoia oversees more than $15 billion in assets for clients from locations across the country.
