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.
