  • The stocks the best performing superfunds are investing in
    In this episode, we look at the top shares of Australia’s best performing super funds, and our equity analysts’ outlook for the stocks.You're able to view the article here.To submit any questions or feedback, please email [email protected] or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.This week for Mark's Unconventional Wisdom column, he grades the superannuation system in Australia, offering each part of the system a letter grade of A, B, C or D. It allows investors to understand what our super system does well and what it doesn’t, and how that might impact them. Shani's Future Focus column looks at a quirk to one of the most generous tax concessions that we have in Australia, the CGT exemption for your home. The CGT exemption also allows for you to rent out your property for a number of years, and still claim the CGT-exempt status. Shani takes a deep dive into the tax policy, the circumstances that it suits and the situations to avoid that would make homeowners pay more tax than they need to. Small caps have historically traded at a premium given conviction behind long term outperformance. Market narratives surrounding their sizeable growth prospects can sway younger investors who performance chase. As a follow up on a previous article 'The Beginner ETF Portfolio', Sim explores the risks and merits of small cap exposure in a beginner's ETF portfolio. AI chatbots and search assistants have transformed the way that many people seek information. But can they be relied upon for investment advice, too? Acting on a recommendation from a recent industry event, Joseph asked ChatGPT to impersonate an investment board of three famous investors. Then, he asked it to discuss some potential investments. What happened next left Joseph impressed and worried in equal measure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • Lessons from Buffett you should ignore
    Buffett has invested for over 7 decades, where his investing style and approach has evolved. There are many lessons, quotes and soundbites that investors take from him. This episode looks at the lessons that we should ignore from Buffett.You can find the full article here.To submit any questions or feedback, please email [email protected] or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.We always have market sceptics (including us at times) declare that there will be inevitable bear markets. However, we’ve had significant economic and social disruption in the form of a pandemic, and the volatility and uncertainty of President Trump. Still, the market continues to rise. In Mark’s latest column, he has explored the reasons for why the market continues to rise, and whether the trend will continue. Stock market participants can broadly be split into two camps: investors and speculators. In the next edition of Bookworm, Joseph shows how Warren Buffett's teacher Benjamin Graham distinguished between the two in a single paragraph of text. He also poses a question that every budding investor should ask themselves, and shares his view on a five word approach to markets that Graham recommended. Shani's last edition of her column looked at a tax targeting super accounts over $3 million. In this edition, she broadens the lens. Australia has a National Financial Capability Strategy, but it is inactive. She runs through the dire impacts that putting financial literacy on the backburner can have on Aussies. She writes an open letter to the newly re-elected Government, urging an immediate focus on improving financial literacy. 60% of Aussies report not feeling confident about managing their own retirement. The relationship between you and your super fund might end up being one of the longest relationships you’ll ever have. And just like life, you’re at liberty to chop and change as you go. But much like picking a good partner, who you start with matters. In this week's Young & Invested, Sim explores some of the things you should consider when picking between super funds.

There are many lessons, quotes and soundbites that investors take from him. In this week's edition of Unconventional Wisdom, Mark has looked at 3 lessons to ignore from the Oracle of Omaha.

Following on from her previous column on the beginner ETF portfolio, this week Sim explores the Aussie equity ETF market and compares two investor favourites in this category. Joseph's featured article is the first edition of Stock Showdown, a new series that uses Morningstar insights to compare the business and investment merits of different ASX companies.

He looks like at where Trump - and the market, might go from here. Finding superior long-term investments as a stock picker requires you to find companies that defy the laws of capitalism. But how might you go about doing this? In the next edition of his Bookworm column, Joseph explores Marathon Asset Management’s capital cycle approach to investing and how it can identify so-called “compounders”. Joseph also highlights a holding from his portfolio that he thinks fits the bill. Successful investing doesn't end as soon as you hit 'buy' in your trading account. Shani's Future Focus column looks at a methodical framework to monitor and maintain your portfolio, to increase your chances of achieving your financial goals. Easy access to technology means younger generations are more informed and confident in their investment decisions than ever.
