Tattarang
Tattarang was founded in 2001 by Andrew Forrest. Nicola Forrest serves as co-founder. The office channels capital from the principals into operating businesses and assets rather than external fund commitments. Tattarang allocates across agriculture, energy transition, real estate, hospitality and sports. It uses direct ownership and SPV structures. Confirmed holdings include Waldorf Astoria Sydney, Carillon City, Lizard Island Resort, Western Force and Jubilee Downs station. The geographic footprint centers on Australia with additional activity in Asia, Europe and North America. The office lists no public professional headcount. It maintains no disclosed additional offices beyond Perth headquarters. Philanthropic vehicles sit alongside the investment arms, including Minderoo Foundation and Coaxial Foundation. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Tattarang separates investment execution from the principals' operating company Fortescue through dedicated arms that allow independent deployment and governance.
