Berkana is an invitation-only investment consortium for women who steward significant private capital through single family offices, family enterprises, and private investment vehicles.
Established in Abu Dhabi and inspired by the Gulf’s enduring tradition of trust, stewardship, and long-term relationships, Berkana brings together women whose responsibilities extend far beyond investment performance. We safeguard family legacies, shape institutions, and influence the prosperity of future generations.
A Defining Moment for Private Capital
Across the world, women are assuming an increasingly significant role in the stewardship of private wealth. Today they oversee more than $31.8 trillion in assets, yet few institutions have been created to serve the way they lead: through trusted relationships, thoughtful dialogue, and a long-term perspective.
Berkana was founded to meet that need — bringing together women who believe that exceptional investment decisions begin with trusted relationships, sound judgment, and shared principles.
Three Generational Shifts
History rarely changes through a single event. It evolves through quiet but decisive shifts in leadership, responsibility, and purpose. Today, private capital is experiencing three such transformations.
01
From dependency to decisive leadership in wealth management
02
From charitable giving to intentional, results-oriented impact investing
03
From opportunistic deals to disciplined, professional capital strategies
