LYNCHBURG, Va., July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Riding a wave of consistent growth of assets under management and of its distribution network, the Virginia based asset management firm announced today that it will consolidate its API and Yorktown Funds under the name Yorktown Funds. The firm also unveiled a new website (www.yorktownfunds.com) that reflects the firm's long-standing tradition of putting time tested investment solutions to work for its investors.

"Over the past 30 years, we have seen significant growth in several of our actively managed fixed income and equity funds that utilize our strategic diversification model," explained David D. Basten, President of Yorktown Funds.  "We have also seen increased demand from distribution channels, including independent broker dealers and traditional wirehouse firms.  As our business continues to grow, we want to streamline our operations and present a single face to financial advisors and investors."

The newly named Yorktown Short Term Bond Fund (APIBX) has seen assets under management (AUM) rise from $28.1 MM to $127.5 MM over the past 16 months, while the Yorktown Multi-Asset Income (APIIX) Fund has seen an increase from $665.1 MM to $785.2 MM during that same time period.
