The Bangarra Group is a private family office founded by Jeff Chapman in 2000. It has global reach, with core Australian businesses operating alongside businesses in London, Middle East, Europe and Asia. Commencing with the investment of family funds, Bangarra has built a significant and award winning funds management business managing personal, partner and public funds across the traditional asset classes of equities, property and private equity.

 

Bangarra also operates as a single family office with long standing relationships throughout Australian and international family offices.

​

Prior to July 2015, the Bangarra Group was known as the Bennelong Group. The Group was rebranded Bangarra as part of a strategic shift to differentiate the Group’s private business and family office from its financial services business.

 

Bangarra is the Wurundjeri word for ‘fire stick’ or ‘to make fire’. Australia’s Wurundjeri are people of the mountains, rivers and plains whose culture is both rich and ancient. Prior to European settlement, when the Wurundjeri people moved camp, they carried a burning stick with them to perpetually keep their fire alight. Bangarra, too, seeks to perpetuate its positive impact.
