About
Grace Investment Machine (GIM) is an AI-native investment technology company that builds agentic AI systems for capital markets, headquartered in Hong Kong with additional operations in Beijing and Shanghai 123. The company describes its approach as a “Visionary Machine”: AI systems that generate, test, and refine investment hypotheses through market data, feedback loops, and coordinated agents, advancing on two fronts — foundation models tailored to capital-market environments, and multi-agent systems that generate, validate, and evolve investment signals across coordinated reasoning layers 12. GIM’s flagship research paper, CogAlpha, features a seven-layer agent architecture and was accepted to the ACL 2026 main conference with an Oral recommendation 13.
On 2026-07-09 GIM announced the close of a $20M Series A financing co-led by Hony Capital and an unnamed leading US venture capital firm, with participation from IDG Capital and existing investor Monolith Capital 123. The company said the round marks its third funding round within its first year of operations and that it is bringing AI-driven strategies and investment products into live validation across multiple asset classes and markets 12.
