Our Story
A connection
that endures.
Marutūāhu Rōpū Limited Partnership is the wealth fund for five Marutūāhu iwi. Our approach to development and investment is shaped by relationships with people and place, and a responsibility to future generations.
We connect capital with opportunities in Aotearoa, bringing together private lending and participation in our own development projects.
Our Iwi
Five iwi. A shared future.
Marutūāhu is a confederation of five iwi, united by shared whakapapa and a collective vision for the future.
Our Approach
Land, experience
and investment.
Our roots in Aotearoa shape the homes we build, the communities we create and the spaces we help transform. Through our development partnerships, we strive to make our cities better places to live. We connect investors with local opportunities, providing private credit to help New Zealand businesses and property projects access the capital they need to grow.
CAPITAL & INVESTORS
We raise capital and connect investors with opportunities in New Zealand, including investment pathways for those exploring the Active Investor Plus visa.
LAND & BTR HOUSING
We develop communities on our own land with established construction partners. Our dedicated BTR Housing Fund focuses on long-term rental homes and investment opportunities intended to support AIP applications, subject to fund approval and applicable visa requirements.
PRIVATE LENDING
We provide private credit to New Zealand businesses and property projects, with lending assessed against the borrower, underlying security and a clear repayment strategy.
AGRICULTURE & AQUACULTURE
Our wider iwi relationships connect us with farming and aquaculture resources, including Pouarua Farms and the Pare Hauraki Kaimoana kingfish opportunity.
We are Treaty Partners with the New Zealand Government.
Access to a 170-year pipeline of Crown land in Auckland.
We are a leading property developer in Auckland.
Our Wider Background
Beyond the city.
Our connections to whenua and moana extend into farming and aquaculture, supporting opportunities beyond residential development.
Agriculture
Pouarua Farms spans approximately 2,250 hectares on the Hauraki Plains, with around 5,000 cows and farming operations that also include Wagyu and Angus cattle.
The land includes approximately 10 hectares of wetlands, with waterways running through the property. This substantial agricultural base connects our iwi relationships with opportunities in farming and food production.
Aquaculture
Pare Hauraki Kaimoana brings together 12 related iwi. Its Coromandel kingfish opportunity holds long-term consents for 300 hectares of open water, with a planned full-production scale of 8,000 tonnes.
PHK is a separate iwi consortium. These activities are presented as background, not as assets of a private credit fund.
