Operating primarily through its main investment arm, Hillspire LLC, the office oversees a diverse global portfolio of investments in areas such as technology, real estate, and venture capital. Beyond financial management, SFO is the engine for the couple's extensive philanthropic work, which is executed through entities like Schmidt Futures, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, and The Schmidt Family Foundation.
