SAN ANTONIO, TX (January 10, 2021) – AlphaCentric Advisors LLC and SWBC Investment Company announced a name change to the mutual fund formerly known as the AlphaCentric Municipal Opportunities Fund. The new co-branded name of the Fund is AlphaCentric SWBC Municipal Opportunities Fund (MUNAX|MUNCX|MUNIX) (the “Fund”).
Incepted in 2019, the Fund seeks to provide income exempt from federal income tax with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.
“We are excited to partner with AlphaCentric and its exceptional distribution capabilities,” said John Tuohy, President and CEO of SWBC Investment Company. “The AlphaCentric SWBC Municipal Income Opportunities Fund is SWBC’s first federally tax-free portfolio offered to the public and fits well into SWBC’s strong lineup of portfolios based on independent ideas. We are confident that this Fund will be the first of many offerings that bring timely investment ideas that take advantage of promising trends in the U.S. economy.”
"This excellent partnership between AlphaCentric and SWBC has continued to bear fruit for financial advisors and their clients,” said Jim Celico, COO of AlphaCentric Advisors, LLC. “The co-branded Fund name was a natural next step towards leveraging the strength of both companies as we grow this Fund.”
There will be no material changes to the investment objectives or strategies of the Fund.
