The Manager Australian Securities Exchange

APPOINTMENT OF MR KEVIN MOORE AS DIRECTOR OF INVESTSMART GROUP LIMITED

InvestSMART, as has been announced to the market, has now practically completed the integration of its businesses and websites into the InvestSMART brand and launched an exciting range of tools, products and services to investors. InvestSMART is now at an important stage in its development. With 6.6 million visits to our websites in 2016/17, over $20 billion in our Portfolio Manager and our own in house funds reaching their first milestone of $50 million under management, InvestSMART is positioned for growth. We have no debt, substantial cash on hand for a business of our size and we continue to enjoy strong growth in monthly FUM inflows.

The board has announced that we will be increasing our marketing spend significantly and that we had instructed Boardroom Partners to search for a Director with digital marketing skills. The search is complete and the Board is delighted to announce that Mr Kevin Moore was appointed as a Director on 28 November 2017 and will formally commence his duties on 1 December 2017. I was very pleased to be able to introduce Mr Moore, pending formal approval of his appointment, at the AGM. I would like to say a few words of introduction.

The board is delighted to announce the appointment of Kevin Moore. Kevin brings to InvestSMART a corporate career with Director level marketing and general management experience across 30 countries, with success in launching and growing Australian and Global bands. His private company career saw him build a small technology based retail marketing business into the sector leader with over 3,000 team members in ANZ, and clients that include Apple, Woolworths, & Coles. His Non‐Executive responsibilities include the Chairmanship of “CROSSMARK Asia Pacific”, owned by Private Equity Firm Warburg Pincus, Chairman of digital marketing company “The Now Communications Group” and a Director of the physical and digital events company “Now Asia” based in Singapore.

I would like to thank the Board and the management team, ably led by Ron Hodge, for their tremendous efforts to get us to this stage. It is no small effort to integrate several businesses, merge offices, rebuilt our website to give a great customer experience, while launching new tool, products and services all designed to help investors to take control of their money, very cost effectively.

Paul Clitheroe AM Chairman
