E patūki te manawa o te rātā, he oranga mō te iwi.
The heartbeat of the rātā sustains the people.

This whakataukī (proverb), gifted by Ngāi Tahu to Rātā Foundation, links our purpose and our investment goals to people.  Rātā will invest in a way that is consistent with this whakataukī.

Rātā invests in the communities it serves, intending to maximise our long-term community impact, either directly through our investments or indirectly via the income distribution we earn. Effectively managing our investment portfolio is vital to delivering on our purpose and long-term community impact.
