1900 Wealth Management, which is owned by Jefferson Bank, focuses in assisting families in growing their wealth through solid investment management and tackling high-net-worth concerns.
Established in 2015, it opened its Greater Austin/Central Texas office in 2023 to capitalise on Austin’s growth and private wealth creation.
Since its inception, 1900 Wealth has exhibited a strong capacity to stay up with market developments, particularly through increased investments in its distinctive alternative investment platform.
Investors have invested in 39 alternative investment options totalling more than $200m, including private credit, venture capital, oil and gas, music royalties, consumer items, and real estate.
Moreover, 1900 Wealth Management reported that its assets under management (AUM) had crossed $2bn in March 2024.
This accomplishment follows a prosperous 2023 that included expanding alternative investment options, expanding asset growth, moving into a new San Antonio headquarters, and increasing market expansion in the Boerne and Austin areas.
By the end of 2024, Brockwell projects the firm’s AUM to reach $2.4bn.
