Trilogy Capital, a hybrid registered investment advisor based in Irvine, Calif., has struck its largest deal of the year with Mountain Capital Investment Advisors, a $1 billion RIA based in Westminster, Colo.

The move marks Trilogy’s second office in Colorado and its 11th overall, with a footprint in California, Arizona and Massachusetts.

Mountain Capital was founded in 2011 by U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former pilot Brandt Burns and specializes in working with aviation professionals. Other team members include current and former pilots, airline executives and industry experts. Burns and other senior leaders owned the firm, according to its most recent Form ADV.

“Partnering with Trilogy allows us to maintain our firm’s personalized service and expertise, while enhancing additional offerings that matter most to our clients,” Burns said in a statement.
