Fraud Alert
Barrenjoey has been made aware of a scam currently underway where members of the public are being approached by individuals fraudulently representing themselves as our employees to pitch fake investment schemes. This offer is supported by fake marketing materials that make unauthorised use of Barrenjoey’s corporate branding.
Barrenjoey does not offer investment products to members of the public and does not have any connection to anyone offering these products.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind Australians to be vigilant at all times when contacted by an unknown party offering investment opportunities. If you receive an email or message that claims to be from Barrenjoey, but looks suspicious, please forward it, along with any attachments to infosec@barrenjoey.com.
To learn more about protecting yourself from scams, please visit the ACCC’s Scamwatch Website.
If you suspect you are a victim of fraud, please report scams involving a financial product to the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (“ASIC”) using the online reporting tool on ASIC’s website here, or to your local police.
We’ve started taking steps to ensure we’re socially, economically and environmentally conscious. We want to deliver great ideas and opportunities to clients in a responsible way, while running a well-governed business that positively contributes to society.

Adara Group partnership

We partner with Adara Group to support women and children living in extreme poverty across some of the most remote parts of the world. Our staff volunteer their time on transactions with Adara Partners – Adara’s ‘for purpose’ corporate advisory business. And every day our staff choose to buy coffee from our Barrenjoey barista, with funds going directly to Adara’s global projects. ​
Barrenjoey Co-Executive Chairmen, Guy Fowler and Matthew Grounds, are Panel Members of Adara Partners with our Non-Executive Board Chair, David Gonski. They donate their time to advise on Adara’s transactions.

Supporting Australian contemporary artists

We’re delighted to support Australian contemporary artists through our partnership with Artbank. Our collection of Indigenous and non-Indigenous works at Liberty place has been provided through Artbank’s leasing program where all funds generated are reinvested into acquiring new works each year.

Indigenous education

Being proudly Australian, we aim to support a uniquely Australian challenge – Indigenous education. We believe that improved educational outcomes for young Indigenous students will lead to a more prosperous and brighter future for all Australians.
We’re helping Yolngu children achieve their potential through our support of Dhupuma Barker – a new independent school in the Gunyangara community of East Arnhem Land. The recently opened school offers 35 children from kindergarten to Year 6 a bilingual education with a culturally relevant curriculum specifically designed for this community.

We’re proud to be partnering with NASCA, a First Nations led not for profit that provides holistic support to young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, supporting them on their educational pathway to a self-determined future.
