Selector is a Sydney based fund manager. Our team combines deep experience in financial markets with diversity of background and thought. We believe in long-term wealth creation and building lasting relationships with our investors.
We focus on stock selection, the funds are high conviction, concentrated and index unaware. Our aim is to capture real earnings per share growth over the long-term. As a result, the portfolios have low turnover and produce tax effective returns. Our ongoing focus on culture and financial sustainability lends itself to strong ESG outcomes.
Selector has a 16-year track record of outperformance and we continue to seek businesses with leadership qualities, run by competent management teams, underpinned by strong balance sheets and with a focus on capital management.
We are a profitable investment firm, we maintain a strong balance sheet, we have no debt.
Selector’s philosophy is to invest sensibly for the long term. A bottom-up stock selection process is used to identify good businesses selling at a fair price.
As a good business evolves into a great business, its underlying real earnings per share grows. Selector aims to capture as much of this earnings growth as possible over time, since this is what translates into share price appreciation.
