JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BNY Mellon's Pershing (Pershing) announced today that it has added Capital First Trust Company (Capital First) to its Trust Network. Capital First focuses on special needs trusts—an area of growing interest for Pershing clients. This latest addition brings the total number of providers in the Pershing Trust Network to seven.
