A Truly Personal Alternative
Grace Capital Management was founded to provide a genuinely personal alternative to large banks and brokerages. We believe that every investor deserves thoughtful, independent advice — free from the conflicts of interest that come with proprietary products and corporate sales agendas.
Based in Austin, Texas, our team brings decades of combined experience in portfolio management, financial planning, and specialized alternative investments. Whether you're building wealth for retirement, navigating a complex capital gains event, or seeking to preserve what you've earned, we offer expertise and the personal attention that larger institutions struggle to match.
As an independent firm, we answer to our clients — not shareholders, product sponsors, or corporate mandates. That independence is the foundation of everything we do.
