Chilton Capital Management

R. Randall Grace, Jr. serves as President and Chief Investment Officer, overseeing all investment strategy, portfolio construction, and manager selection. Christopher L. Knapp is Chief Executive Officer, focusing on firm governance and client relationships. The two have led the firm together since its founding in 1996, maintaining direct involvement in investment committee decisions.

Chilton's real estate acquisition strategy relies on a network of local brokers, developers, and operators concentrated in Texas and the Sun Belt. The firm targets income-producing assets such as medical office buildings and multi-family properties, often off-market, leveraging long-standing relationships in the Houston commercial real estate community. Its energy-sector roots provide proprietary visibility into land use, demographic shifts, and corporate relocations across the region.

Yes, the firm manages Chilton Investment Partners, a long/short equity strategy focused on U.S. mid- to large-cap stocks. The approach is fundamentally driven with a value orientation, and Chilton principals are personally invested alongside external clients. The strategy reflects the firm's broader philosophy of co-investment alignment.

Chilton is a registered investment advisor that functions as a multi-family office, stemming from its origin serving a single Texas energy family. The firm manages proprietary investment strategies, including direct real estate and a long/short equity fund, while also providing comprehensive wealth advisory, tax, and estate planning. This hybrid model means clients access both in-house investment vehicles and external managers through a fiduciary framework.

Chilton actively co-invests directly into its own real estate acquisitions and equity strategy rather than predominantly relying on third-party GPs for co-investment exposure. This internal co-investment model places the firm's principals in the same vehicles as its clients. For asset classes outside its core expertise, the firm makes fund commitments to carefully selected external managers but does not typically pursue GP-led co-investment syndicates.

Chilton does not maintain a distinct public philanthropic foundation under its own name. The firm's advisory services include charitable planning, donor-advised fund coordination, and foundation structuring for client families. This is integrated into the broader wealth management mandate rather than operated as a separate institutional entity.
