Selector Funds Management Response to COVID-19

With the rapidly evolving nature of COVID-19 and its relatively unknown impact on our team, our business partners and our communities, the leadership team of Selector Funds Management would like to keep our stakeholders informed of the decisions and actions we are taking as a Firm.

Below are the actions we have taken to ensure our Firm is operating at a full capacity, while addressing the impact of COVID-19, and mitigating its risks.

• With the exception of our Portfolio Managers Tony Scenna and Corey Vincent, our team adopted our work from home protocol on Monday, 16 March 2020. This protocol will remain in place until it is deemed safe for staff to return to our Sydney CBD office. We will evaluate the situation each week to determine the correct course of action.
• Portfolio Managers will also adopt our work from home protocol if this is deemed necessary or recommended by a governing authority.
• Selector has in place the proper IT infrastructure and technology platforms to ensure our team remains connected and can collaborate in order to continue to operate at full capacity.
• Selector has cancelled all business and personal travel abroad and domestic. We have also restricted office access and face-to-face meetings. All communication is being conducted via pre-existing conference lines and video conferencing technology.
• The building management company, responsible for our tenancy, has provided us with their tenant communication policy which addresses building procedures and preventative measures in common areas. They have also provided us with specific procedures if a COVID -19 incident is reported.
  

Our team conducts morning and evening conference calls each business day. We discuss the events of the day, prioritise tasks that need to be completed and assign business items to the appropriate team members. These calls also allow us to communicate about our health, wellbeing and any other issues we are facing.

These measures have been implemented to support the wellbeing of our staff, ensure our continued business operations and to reduce community transmission of COVID-19. Health, safety and business protocols are being reviewed and updated, as needed, on a daily and weekly basis.

Our team is fully available to support our business and to continue to operate efficiently during these continuously changing times.

We appreciate that some of you may have queries about these arrangements. In this regard we encourage you to reach out to me personally to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have.

Kind regards,

Company Secretary
