William Gray

Will Gray is a Partner and Portfolio Manager at HFS Wealth Management, a Texas-based advisory firm (also operating as Howard Financial Services / HFS Capital Partners) that serves high-net-worth individuals, families, and foundations. In his role he manages public-market and hedge-fund investments, designing globally diversified portfolios tailored to each client's return and risk objectives. He holds the CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst) designation, reflecting his focus on alternatives and hedge-fund allocation.

According to his firm and professional profiles, Gray draws on more than a decade of institutional investment and advisory experience. Over his career he has advised institutions on hedge-fund investments and managed globally diversified portfolios for high-net-worth individuals and family-office groups. His earlier career includes roles associated with Price Wealth Management, Bull Creek Capital Management, and Austin Capital Management — the latter two being Austin-based investment/hedge-fund advisory shops — before his current tenure at HFS.

He earned a BBA in Finance from The University of Texas at Austin's Red McCombs School of Business (studies circa 1998–2001).

A note on the source data: the stub describing William Gray as an "Angel Investor" writing "Seed Round" checks does not match the public record. All verifiable sources describe him as a wealth-management portfolio manager specializing in public markets and hedge funds for private clients, not a startup angel investor. No individual startup/seed investments could be verified, and none are invented below.

• Invests on behalf of HFS's high-net-worth, family, and foundation clients — building diversified portfolios rather than making personal angel bets.
• Core competency is public-market and hedge-fund / alternative-investment selection and allocation, consistent with his CAIA credential.
• Emphasis on globally diversified, risk-objective-driven portfolios — allocations are tailored to each client's specific return and risk profile.
• Institutional-grade due diligence: over a decade of advising institutions on hedge-fund investments and managing family-office capital.
• No publicly stated venture/angel thesis or seed-stage check size is on record.
