A Chicago practice built on patience and partnership.

In 2019, Marc Zaro founded GM Private Equity in New York City. Today, he collaborates with general partners and sponsors by building relationships to effect transactions. 

GM Capital Management is a privately held investment firm headquartered in Chicago. We operate two complementary practices: a private equity and asset management business, and a specialized advisory desk focused on focused on concentrated equity and other liquidity events.

Our clients are founders selling into liquidity, executives unwinding equity awards, family offices building durable allocations, and institutions seeking selective co-investment. Each mandate is led personally by Marc Zaro.

We don't chase scale. We compound trust — one well-executed engagement at a time.

Marc founded GM Capital Management to bring institutional rigor to a small roster of principals — combining deep markets experience with a steady, relationship-first approach to private capital and complex equity events.
