Grant Wealth Advisors positions itself to provide discretionary portfolio management and related financial planning for individual investors, and its brochure states it will work with both standard and high-net-worth individuals. Despite that client focus, the firm reported zero client accounts and no assets under management as of the latest filing, indicating it has not yet established an active retail client base.

The firm says it builds an individualized Investment Policy Statement for each client and seeks discretionary authority to implement portfolios, using a mix of fundamental, quantitative, technical and modern portfolio theory in its analysis. GWAL’s stated strategies span long- and short-term trading and explicitly include margin and options trading, ETFs (including precious-metals exposure), real estate funds, private placements and venture capital, and it provides financial planning to portfolio management clients at no additional charge.

What is distinctive for a firm of this size is its combination of being newly formed with no reported AUM while requiring clients to custody at specific firms (Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab), rather than allowing client-directed custodians. The brochure also documents a relatively broad and higher-risk investable universe (venture capital, private placements, commodities, margin and options) and reliance on custodian-provided research/soft-dollar benefits, which differentiates GWAL from many similarly sized supported advisers.
