Kotahitanga Fund launches to unite and grow the Māori economy
A new multi-million-dollar Māori investment platform, the Kotahitanga Fund, has been launched by Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po. Aiming to boost the $126 billion Māori economy, the fund pools resources for greater impact. The announcement was made during the Āhanga ki te Ao Māori Economic Summit in Hamilton this week.
The idea for the fund was first introduced by Te Arikinui in her Koroneihana speech at Turangawaewae Marae last September. She credited her late father, Kiingi Tuheitia, for the original vision behind the initiative. The fund starts with around $100 million in seed capital and focuses on generating strong returns while delivering tangible benefits for Māori communities.
The Kotahitanga Fund is designed to create meaningful change by leveraging the collective strength of the Māori economy. With an initial $100 million commitment, it seeks to grow opportunities and secure long-term prosperity. The fund’s launch marks a significant step in unifying Māori economic efforts.
