Financial Stewardship

Our investment performance enables us to achieve our purpose in perpetuity. We engage dairy people, communities and industry to ground our investments.

We take a long-term view when shaping our investment strategies, focusing on opportunities in financial markets, the dairy industry, and Victoria’s dairy communities. We’re a partner in dairy’s prosperity.

Our portfolio delivers steady, growing income and capital growth. Over 25 years, investment returns have enabled Gardiner to invest more than $100 million in dairy innovation and community development.
