about
Emu Nest is an Aboriginal Family Trust that operates as an investment group. Our vision is to foster Aboriginal economic futures by creating nests of opportunity for people, family and Country.
We were established to enable our beneficiaries to generate intergenerational wealth, overcome hardship and participate in the economy. We invest in initiatives which provide a sustainable financial return and create environmental, economic, and social value. We foster economic partnerships with other Aboriginal families and communities because we believe we are stronger together and that wealth should be used to support people and Country.

investments principles
The Emu Nest guiding stories come to life through our investment principles. These principles reflect how we develop and nurture sustainable relationships that create value in the world.
No Harm to People and Country
The investment must not provide products or services that are harmful to people and country. We prioritise investments which combat climate change and address major environmental challenges.
Financial Stewardship
The investment must provide a sustainable financial return over the medium to long term. We typically do not engage in short term investments.
Economic Participation
The investment must provide opportunities for our beneficiaries as well as other Aboriginal people to participate in employment, training, and supply chain opportunities. We consider investments that have a lower financial return if they can provide a higher economic impact to Aboriginal people.
Giving Back
The investment must donate money, expertise, products and assets to Aboriginal people and organisations who require support.
Stronger together
We prioritise investments where there is ownership and participation from other Aboriginal shareholders.
