In investing, every basis point counts. Keeping costs low is one of the simplest ways to boost long-term returns, and some of the best-performing ETFs and LICs charge less than 0.10% in annual fees, proving that strong performance doesn’t always come with a high price tag.
In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, we’re going bottom-fishing for the cheapest funds on the ASX. Joining us to break down the best rock-bottom-fee strategies are Charlie Viola from Viola Private Wealth and Adam Dawes from Shaw and Partners.
Are these low-cost funds worth the hype? Let’s find out.

Is it time to take Bitcoin seriously?
Should investors start taking Bitcoin seriously, just as we should have taken tech stocks more seriously in the 2010s?
Paul Tudor Jones, the billionaire hedge fund manager who famously called the ’87 crash, made a bold bet on Bitcoin in 2020. Since then, it’s surged over 1,200%. His reasoning? If beating inflation is a race, Bitcoin is the fastest horse.
Yet, many investors remain sceptical. Unlike traditional assets, Bitcoin has no cash flows, no earnings, and no tangible value - making it easy to dismiss. But are we making the same mistake with Bitcoin that sceptics made with Amazon and Apple decades ago?
With institutional adoption accelerating, crypto markets maturing, and Bitcoin hitting record highs (until the recent dip), the case for it as a legitimate asset is stronger than ever. Is it time to move past old biases and rethink its place in a portfolio?
To break it down, we’re joined by Charlie Viola from Viola Private Wealth and Adam Dawes from Shaw and Partners. Watch, read or listen to the podcast below.

Buy Hold Sell: 5 stocks with massive growth runways
It's every investor's dream: get in at the right time on a great growth company and ride the wave to untold riches. It might sound like a pipedream, and it is indeed hard to do, but there have been plenty of examples over the past decade.
Globally, names like Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Google spring to mind, whilst locally names like ProMedicus and TechnologyOne fit the bill.
So, how does one go about hunting these unicorns, and what are the companies right now with massive growth runways ahead of them? We're talking about names with sustainable competitive advantages, good returns on capital, strong balance sheets, and that are disruption-resistant.
To help answer that question, and run the ruler over three prospective growth standouts, Livewire's James Marlay was joined by Vihari Ross from Antipodes and James Tsinidis from Munro Partners.
For good measure, they also share one company they believe is destined to rise to up the growth stock leaderboard over coming years.

Buy Hold Sell: The investing megatrends you can’t ignore (and some you should rethink)
The stock market is constantly evolving but, every decade, a few megatrends reshape entire industries - creating huge opportunities for investors who spot them early.
Today, AI is revolutionising everything from automation to chip design, with the global AI market projected to grow from US$207 billion in 2023 to over US$1.8 trillion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Meanwhile, the clean energy transition, shifting demographics, and deglobalisation are rewriting economic playbooks.
Getting these megatrends right isn’t just important, it can be the difference between market-beating returns and falling behind. Just look at how Amazon capitalised on e-commerce or how Nvidia surged over 3,000% in the past decade thanks to AI-driven demand.
In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, we’ll break down the biggest megatrends shaping the future, explore why they matter, and discuss how investors can position themselves to ride the wave. We'll also unpack a couple that could be on the decline.
To do that, Livewire’s James Marlay was joined by Vihari Ross from Antipodes and James Tsinidis from Munro Partners. For good measure, they each share a stock idea set to benefit from their favourite megatrend.
