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.
Selector has a 15-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.
We seek businesses with leadership qualities, run by competent management teams, underpinned by strong balance sheets and with a focus on capital management.

In this quarterly edition, we review performance and attribution. We discuss some of the recent capital raisings in our three-part “Forced Dilution” series and reflect on what we’re coining, “Gap year 2020”. We also turn our attention to technological adoption and the move to digital and the cloud. We introduce and profile a new fund investment, Megaport. In our “Gravy train” article, we spotlight a company in the online retail space. We also have a piece on carbon emissions, a topic that is likely to re-emerge as a hot issue. To finish off, we detail Selector’s initiative to become carbon neutral.
