American Realty Capital Properties Inc. agreed to sell its Cole Capital private-capital management business to RCS Capital Corp. for at least $700 million to focus on its single-tenant real estate business.

American Realty could earn as much as $130 million more from the transaction depending on Cole Capital’s 2015 profit, the New York-based company said today in a statement. As part of the agreement, American Realty will act as an adviser to Cole Capital’s non-traded real estate investment trust, sharing fees with RCS Capital.
