Bangarra Family Office

Founded in 2000 by Jeff Chapman, Bangarra Group is one of Australia's leading family offices, operating across Australia, Europe, and the US. With a mission to harness the "Power of Purpose," the group integrates commercial success with philanthropic impact, supporting over 360 charities and issuing more than 700 grants through its Bennelong Foundation.

Bangarra Group’s wealth stems from the entrepreneurial success of its founder. Jeff Chapman transitioned from a professional Australian rules footballer to a media entrepreneur, founding Sportsworld Media Group in 1991. The company grew internationally and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1998. The capital generated from its sale funded the formation of Bennelong Group and subsequently Bangarra’s diverse investments across real estate, funds management, and private equity.

Bangarra's investment portfolio includes Bennelong Funds Management, which partners with boutique asset managers globally, and Bennelong Natural Capital, focusing on sustainable land and water investments. The group's assets under management and advice total $13 billion, reflecting its robust presence in funds management and private equity. Its global footprint spans seven offices, employing 585 staff across three continents, all aligned with the group's core values of collaboration, impact, and accountability.
