In 1993, Warakirri's first trust, the Warakirri Charitable Australian Equities Trust was launched. Since then, Warakirri has established numerous trusts and funds specifically designed to meet the varied needs of investors. Today, Warakirri provides specialist investment vehicles to meet the needs of charities, superannuation and individual investors across Australian and global equities, cash, Australian agriculture, currency management and US real estate. In addition, Warakirri is a leading provider of after-tax benchmarking, reporting and performance analytics.
