Capital managed with its footprint in mind.

Based in San Francisco, Arnela Wealth looks after a small circle of families who care how their money works in the world.

Arnela Wealth treats investment and giving as one practice, closely linked to how families use their public voice. Our work begins with looking after wealth, then follows through to where it is put to work and what it builds around it.

How we invest
Investing across a spectrum of capital

Portfolios at Arnela Wealth hold a mix of legacy positions, core growth strategies and newer sustainable and impact approaches. Some holdings target long‑term growth in technology, healthcare and infrastructure, while others provide resilience and liquidity. A smaller portion is set aside for clear environmental or social outcomes. Over time, we are shifting the balance with care.

Investing across a spectrum of capital
A clear set of themes

Most of the invested capital sits in a few areas: technology and data, healthcare and life sciences, essential services and real assets. Multi‑theme growth strategies and sustainable business models round out the mix.

The same broad concerns show up in our philanthropy, but the tools are different. Investments are expected to deliver returns; grants are free to prioritize root causes and vulnerable communities.

Philanthropy for systems change

At Arnela Wealth, philanthropy sits at the core of the work. We use it to back people and organizations who work on the root causes of the issues our families care about, from education and healthcare access to climate justice and economic fairness.

That can mean support for community organizers and advocacy groups shifting the narrative on climate and on the marginalization of select communities. Patient, flexible funding is the norm, with space for partners and community-led efforts to lead on what is needed.
