Wealth management and family office services for Australia's agricultural and regional families
Ancient in patience.
Enduring in purpose.
Wealth management and family office services for Australia's most successful agricultural and regional families — with a particular understanding of families whose wealth is built on the land.
We bring the investment capability of a global institution together with the care of a true family office — grounded in the patience of ancient country.
Request an Introduction →Larapinta is the Arrernte name for the Finke River — one of the oldest rivers on Earth. Through drought and flood, ice age and heat, it has endured. We carry that name with deep respect.
Our Story →We are not a bank. We are not a fund manager. We sit alongside families as a trusted partner — providing counsel, connection, and continuity across generations.
We built Larapinta Private from the ground up. No legacy infrastructure to defend. No institutional bureaucracy to work around. Just a firm designed from day one for the families it serves — and free to act in their interest without compromise.
The capability of the large. The intimacy of the small.
Investment Management
Institutional-grade, globally diversified portfolios constructed with rigour and managed with long-horizon conviction. Built around your family's specific objectives — not a model portfolio.
Family Office Services
The full range of family office services — governance, succession, philanthropy, estate planning, and the work that comes with managing wealth across generations.
Private Advisory
Strategic wealth planning that brings together cashflow modelling, retirement income design, superannuation structures, and tax-efficient entity architecture into a single framework — built around the family, not a product. A relationship that extends beyond scheduled reviews, available for the moments that matter.
We work alongside your family's existing accountants, lawyers, and advisers — not in place of them. One relationship at the centre, coordinating everything.
We invest the way the river flows — with patience, conviction, and complete indifference to short-term noise.
We don't manage to the quarter. We don't manage to the year. We manage to the generation — and that changes everything. Where shorter-horizon managers see volatility as risk, we see it as the price of admission to asset classes that have consistently rewarded patient capital over decades.
We also build and manage short-term, highly liquid and defensive portfolios — so families can meet immediate and medium-term commitments without compromising the long-horizon strategy.
Foundation
60–80% · the bedrock
Long-duration, diversified, institutional-grade. Built for resilience across cycles.
Conviction
10–30% · thematic & opportunistic
High-conviction positions in structural themes and mispriced opportunities.
Treasury
5–15% · liquidity & short-term
Tailored to operational cash flows, seasonal patterns, and near-term commitments.
Five principles. Seven commitments. The way we serve.
Five principles we refuse to compromise on. Seven commitments that follow from them. The full detail is on Why Larapinta.
Built for the families who built the land.
Australia's agricultural and regional families carry wealth that is unlike any other. It's built on land, livestock, water, and the patient accumulation of value over decades and generations.
We understand this world because our name comes from the same country. The patience that defines our investment approach is the same patience that defines life on the land.
Who We Serve →Capital strategy
When to acquire, when to consolidate, when to hold — aligning capital decisions with the rhythm of the land and the needs of the family.
Diversification
Building a portfolio alongside the farming operation — reducing concentration without losing the land.
Structuring & risk
Trust and ownership structures, agricultural insurance, commodity risk, water rights.
Off-farm wealth
Superannuation, investment portfolios, income generating assets — managed with the same rigour applied to the land.
For the families who built Australia.
We'd welcome the chance to sit down and listen.
