Greycourt & Co.

Greycourt & Co.

Gregory D. Curtis established Greycourt in 1988, anchoring the firm's identity in the complex wealth-management needs of a Mellon family branch. As chairman and the principal owner of over 25% of the firm, Curtis shaped it into an independent advisory that serves ultra-high-net-worth families and select institutions from its Pittsburgh headquarters. The firm maintains deep ties to the original wealth-creation story while operating as a fiduciary that does not manufacture its own investment products. Greycourt constructs globally diversified, multi-asset portfolios across private equity, venture capital, private credit, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources. The firm's open-architecture model means it allocates capital externally — through fund commitments, fund-of-funds structures, and direct co-investments — rather than deploying in-house strategies. Confirmed positions include client capital placed with SAC Capital (now Point72) and allocations to the Greycourt Partners Fund, a Pittsburgh-based pooled vehicle. The firm also invests in secondaries. Its geographic focus spans North America. Greycourt maintains an institutional-grade network for sourcing and diligence. The firm is a member of the Family Office Exchange independent advisor network and the Institute for Private Investors. Colony Family Offices engages Greycourt for research, manager due diligence, and asset allocation, illustrating its role as an outsourced investment office to other advisory firms. The firm also operates a real assets arm linked to the mixed-use property Adaptive Commons. Greycourt does not publicly disclose its total headcount or its precise AUM figure. Greycourt's structural distinction is its pure advisory posture: it acts as a fiduciary gatekeeper, not a principal investor. The firm's power comes from its independence from any single asset manager and its multi-decade embeddedness within the Mellon family ecosystem. That governance model — a founder-led shop with a concentrated ownership stake, advising multiple families through a single open-architecture platform — creates a sourcing and due-diligence advantage that balance-sheet investors cannot easily replicate.
