Grosvenor Capital Management

Grosvenor Capital Management, operating as GCM Grosvenor, is a global alternative asset management firm with approximately $72 billion in assets under management. Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Chicago, GCM Grosvenor is one of the longest-established alternatives managers in the world, with over five decades of experience in hedge fund and private markets investing.

Investment Strategy

GCM Grosvenor operates across two primary platforms: absolute return strategies (hedge funds) and private markets. The hedge fund platform constructs multi-manager portfolios by allocating to external hedge fund managers across equity long/short, event-driven, relative value, macro, and multi-strategy categories. The firm’s hedge fund research team evaluates hundreds of managers annually, combining quantitative screening with qualitative assessment of investment edge, risk management, and organizational quality.

The private markets platform invests across private equity, real estate, and infrastructure through fund-of-funds programs, secondary transactions, co-investments, and direct investments. GCM Grosvenor’s private equity business covers buyout, growth equity, venture capital, and specialty strategies globally.

The firm has also built capabilities in customized solutions that blend hedge fund and private markets allocations into tailored portfolios designed for specific client objectives, including risk-adjusted return targets, liquidity profiles, and ESG considerations.

Private Markets Approach

GCM Grosvenor’s private markets activities leverage the firm’s extensive GP relationships and deep alternatives expertise. The firm’s primary fund investment program commits capital to established and emerging private equity managers across all major strategies and geographies. The secondary practice provides portfolio construction flexibility and vintage year diversification.

GCM Grosvenor has been a pioneer in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) focused investing within alternatives, dedicating capital to diverse-owned and diverse-led fund managers and portfolio companies. This initiative spans both the firm’s hedge fund and private markets platforms.

The firm is publicly listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker GCMG. GCM Grosvenor serves institutional investors including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowments, foundations, and insurance companies from offices in Chicago, New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul.
