Former NZ Super Fund CEO Matt Whineray discusses the FarmRight partnership. In 2010, they engaged with FarmRight for a rural land investment strategy, seeking management of their New Zealand farming exposure, initially focusing on dairy. With plans to develop a portfolio of 300 to 500 million over five years, FarmRight stood out as the partner of choice. The collaboration was forged to navigate and strategically enhance NZ Super Fund’s domestic exposure. It’s been a remarkable growth story leading to a diverse portfolio exceeding $1 billion encompassing horticulture, viticulture, and hops.
