Andrew Forrest’s family office coinvests with DFAT on Asian investment

An investment fund established by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has encouraged some big family offices, including Andrew and Nicola Forrest’s Tattarang, to invest in a fund that will back female entrepreneurs in South-East Asia.

DFAT’s Emerging Markets Impact Investment Fund (EMIIF) has invested $5.6 million into the Southeast Asian Women’s Economic Empowerment Fund (Sweef), which is based in Singapore.
