About John

Championing a new vision for the wealth management industry, John Langston and his wife, Candace Langston, made a significant donation to name the Langston Wealth Management Center at The University of Texas at Austin’s McCombs School of Business.

In 2024, they established a permanent endowment to support the center’s bold initiatives around student education, academic research, industry partnerships, and community outreach.

“Candace and I strongly believe that the wealth center, being part of an elite business school, will produce a much higher-level program and, therefore, a much higher-level graduate,” John Langston said. “The opportunity to invest in the next generation of wealth management leadership was a chance to help fulfill our purpose in life. We just couldn’t pass it up.”

Prior to their donation, they have been involved with the program in many ways.  In 2022, the couple co-founded the John and Candace Langston Fellowship at McCombs, awarded each year to high-achieving students newly admitted to the wealth management program.

Republic Capital Group has hosted a number of these students at company functions, such as conferences and galas, and has engaged them in internship programs as well. They believe in creating opportunities for growth, experience and networking for these talented  future leaders, and are committed to continuing their involvement.
