Who we are
A diversified enterprise operating across energy, property and global trade, established in Melbourne and incorporated in 2011.
Australian National Finance (ANF) operates across energy, property and global trade. From petroleum logistics and infrastructure to property development and commodities trading, our operations are built on discipline, transparency and strategic growth.
ANF’s journey began with a simple goal: to combine deep industry knowledge with strategic foresight to create opportunities that endure. Over the years the firm has expanded through government and private sector projects, in both domestic and international markets.
ANF sells physical commodities as principal. In oil and gas it holds allocation and the authority to sell directly, contracts with its buyers in its own name, and carries the commercial obligations that follow. A buyer’s contract is with ANF, and it is ANF that answers for performance.
Alongside trading, ANF connects financial institutions, investment trusts and private investors with opportunities across Australia and the Asia–Pacific region.

What sets us apart
A senior team
Our practitioners have led divisions at Shell, Sinopec/Addax Petroleum, Adsteam, Telstra and Fairfax, and have chaired companies listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ and the Canadian exchanges.
Finance and delivery under one roof
Capital structuring, commodity execution and physical project delivery are handled by the same platform, removing the handover risk that sits between advisers.
We stand behind the sale
As seller we contract in our own name, holding allocation and the authority to sell. Our buyers hold a contract with ANF rather than with a party they have never met.
Compliance as a precondition
AML/CTF, KYC and enhanced due diligence are completed before a transaction proceeds — not alongside it.
Values
Four principles, stated so that you can hold us to them
Integrity
We say what we can do, and we do what we say. Claims we cannot evidence, we do not make.
Transparency
Our role, our remuneration and our interest in a transaction are disclosed to every party to it.
Discipline
Process, documentation and verification precede commitment.
Partnership
We measure success by whether a counterparty returns for the second transaction.
