  • Selector High Conviction Equity Fund Monthly Report – November 2018
    Selector High Conviction Equity Fund Monthly report – November 2018 Market insights Cumulative returns since inception Australian markets sold off further during November, with the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index closing down 2.2%. Major European markets fell by a 600% similar magnitude, while indices in the U.S. and Asia staged modest recoveries. The energy sector was hardest hit during November as Brent crude fell more 500% than 20% to US$59 per barrel. Fears of an oil glut have taken hold as the global dominance of US crude oil production, led by booming shale oil output, have 400% emerged. In June 2018, America accounted for 13% of global crude oil, nearly 2x that produced in June 2008. As America nears the status of net exporter, 300% investment banks have laid heavy bets against the price of oil. The Australian economy has shown no real signs of slowing despite the recent 200% weakness in equity and property markets. In their statement on monetary policy, the RBA outlined expectations for GDP growth of 3.5% over 2018 and 100% 2019 and for inflation to remain both low and stable. Should these conditions hold, the RBA expects the unemployment rate to trend down from its current 0% level of 5.0% to 4.75% by 2020. The latest economic growth data would suggest these views now sit on the optimistic side -100% The RBA also commented on developments overseas, highlighting that growth 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 in advanced economies has been exceeding growth in productive capacity.

  • Summary Paper Screening out Fossil Fuel Exposure From
    SUMMARY PAPER1 SCREENING OUT FOSSIL FUEL EXPOSURE FROM THE ASX 200 THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE 2 MARCH 2014 “The looming choice may be either stranding 3 those assets or stranding the planet.” -- OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría “Rethink what fiduciary responsibility means in this changing world. It’s simple self interest. Every compan y, investor and bank that screens new and existing investments for climate risk 4 is simply being pragmatic.” -- World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim INTRODUCTION Investors considering fossil fuel divestment must make their own judgements about the ethical and financial materiality of company involvement in fossil fuels, and how companies manage associated carbon risks. They must decide which sectors or companies to exclude or underweight in accordance with their own legal and financial situation.5 METHOD Our analysis aims to assist with this process. We categorised ASX 200 companies according to their exposure to fossil fuels and used this to construct portfolios screening out the most fossil fuel-exposed companies. We considered the following categories for companies on the ASX 200. The companies included in each ‘Tier’, and suggested response for each, are shown in Table 1. TABLE 1: ASX 200 COMPANY CATEGORISATION Category Suggested response Companies TIER 1: substantially involved in Divestment candidates. WOODSIDE PETROLEUM, ORIGIN ENERGY, SANTOS, fossil fuel extraction. CALTEX, OIL SEARCH, BEACH ENERGY, AURORA OIL & GAS, WHITEHAVEN COAL, KAROON GAS, AWE, SENEX ENERGY, DRILLSEARCH, LINC, AQUILA RESOURCES, HORIZON, BURU ENERGY, COALSPUR. TIER 2: large ‘downstream’ Divestment candidates. ENVESTRA, APA GROUP, AGL ENERGY, ENERGY fossil fuel exposure. WORLD TIER3: large absolute direct Divestment or engagement fossil fuel exposure but less BHP BILLITON, RIO TINTO, WESFARMERS candidates.

    ASX / Media Release 2 August 2021 Santos agrees proposed merger ratio with Oil Search Santos and Oil Search have today reached agreement on the merger ratio under the proposed merger and the additional terms set out in this release (“Revised Merger Proposal”). Under the Revised Merger Proposal, Oil Search shareholders will receive 0.6275 new Santos shares for each Oil Search share held via a Scheme of Arrangement. Following approval of the Scheme, Oil Search shareholders will own approximately 38.5 per cent of the merged group and Santos shareholders will own approximately 61.5 per cent. The Board of Oil Search has confirmed that, subject to the completion of confirmatory due diligence and the agreement of a binding Merger Implementation Agreement, their intention is to unanimously recommend the Revised Merger Proposal, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert concluding that the scheme of arrangement is in the best interests of Oil Search shareholders. The Revised Merger Proposal implies a transaction price of A$4.29 per Oil Search share, based on the closing price of Santos and Oil Search shares on 19 July 2021 (being the day prior to disclosure of the first proposal). This represents a 16.8 per cent premium to the Oil Search closing price on 19 July and a 16.4 per cent premium to the one-month VWAP on that day.
