- About
Social Wealth Partners was founded in 2006 and operates with distributed partners and clients around the world.
We are based in Austin, Texas.
Social Wealth Partners point of difference is our vaue creation investment methodologies and our impact monetization frameworks, practices and heuristics.
We ensure all net-positive value creation is always observable, measurable and verifiable as value adding and demanded on all participant balance sheets. "Social Wealth" is simply the measurable financial, in-kind, behavioral and environmental improvements desired by all five stakeholder groups to any undertaking: investors, teams, partners, paying customers and communities..
Social Wealth's first principles derive from capitalism as described in Adam Smith's foundational treatise The Theory of Moral Sentiments (prior to his magnum opus The Wealth of Nations). Smith introduces capitalism as a moral philosophy, i.e. capital is meant to distribute vale creation and wealth. Smith's words, published in 1759, remain a powerfully actionable resource for all of us seeking purpose and profit today:
How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortunes of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.
Rob Hanna coined the term social wealth in 1991 while working on Wall Street. He reasoned the creativity, insights and innovations used to create private wealth could also be applied to significantly improve positive outcomes for society at scale. He was right.
Rob launched Social Wealth Partners in 2006 with a mission to widely share proven innovations and support all who desire to accelerate positive social outcomes at scale and achieve enduring legacy.

Founding Partner
Rob Hanna is the founding partner of Social Wealth Partners. His financial wealth creation experience includes sales leader for the oldest brokerage firm on Wall Street, general partner of multiple offshore hedge funds, co-founder and managing director of a German wealth management Aktiengesellschaft, angel investor and accelerator advisor to thousands of venture startups.
Rob entered into social wealth creation in 1993 as a philanthropic venture: the failure of traditional charity methods to achieve significant impacts was an opportunity and inspiration to innovate new methodologies based on private wealth creation principles and innovation skills.
After over a decade of direct experience innovating in the philanthropic field and achieving signficantly improved impacts in multiple settings Rob trained hundreds of others to do the same. He proved anyone can learn powerful heuristics, practices and frameworks needed to deliver objectively better outcomes in any domain, and that any desired societal improvements can be made measurable, scalable and highly valued by local, national and global communities.
Rob has also served as Community Development Commissioner for the City of Austin, was a founding Board member of Social Venture Partners International, and has won three separate US state governors' awards for community impact projects.
His vision remains for many more people to learn powerful social wealth creation skills, do likewise for the world and become a social wealth partner – ad mundum meliorem!
