In 2020, I got involved in a community project with Pearler (who partner with us on The Australian Finance Podcast), who were putting together an eBook to connect Australia's Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community. They recently turned this into a FREE audiobook, with each chapter released as a podcast episode on Apple Podcasts & Spotify. It's a great way to hear from different voices in this space, as everyone's path to financial independence looks different. If the idea of FIRE sounds intriguing, we've also got a free course on Rask Education on the topic. As I revisited and updated the chapter I wrote for the eBook, I realised how much my money and investment approach has evolved in the last five years. So much has changed over the past half a decade, but in other ways, so much hasn’t. I still save, invest, work towards goals, and make mistakes (I’m learning, slowly ). Today, I want to share what’s changed because it’s a fascinating way to reflect on what I’ve learnt and how my own priorities have changed. Remember, our personal finance journey is ultimately personal, and this is mine. 🎟️ We're going on the road from August - October 2023; get your tickets here! 📚 Enjoyed this episode?

In this episode, we’re going to introduce you to your new investing best friend, Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, as you’ll come to know them. ETFs are a great investment option for new and experienced investors and are an easy way to build a low-cost and diversified portfolio with just a few trades. They’re simple, they work, and you don’t need to be a financial wizard to get your head around them. Investing can be as easy as opening up a brokerage account, picking a low-cost, diversified ETF and buying small parcels frequently over a long period of time. ETFs can be your entire portfolio or just the core, but they instantly open the world of investing to you. They have changed how we invest and simplified the often complex world of finance. So, in this episode, we talk about exactly why we’re so keen on ETFs, how they work and how you can use them to invest.

Diversification is a technique used to lower the risk for an investment portfolio by spreading the specific risks of investing across many holdings.  We often practice diversification in other areas of our life without even realizing it. Think friends in different groups, external industry connections, reading widely, not just eating potato chips, having new travel experiences etc. It’s the idea that we shouldn’t rely on any one single "thing" and instead incorporate different things that are not directly linked together. Fidelity defines diversification in investing as "the practice of spreading your investments around so that your exposure to any one type of asset is limited. This practice is designed to help reduce the volatility of your portfolio over time." In today's episode, Kate & Owen discuss how they think about diversification in their own lives and what it looks like in our finances, investing, careers and life. *** Access the show notes for The Australian Finance Podcast: www.raskmedia.com.au/podcasts/australian-finance-podcast 🌏 Ready-made ETF portfolios?

How To Get Rich is an 8-part series that follows a range of individuals and couples on their financial journey.

We often discuss the idea of value: our own, our career, our house, our book collection, but what does this idea of value and the act of valuation mean in the context of investing? Kate’s heard Owen talking about company valuation for over five years now, and although she get’s the general gist, she never really wrapped her head around it. So after taking it to an Insta poll, it seems like our community is also keen to understand some of these basics as well. According to Investopedia, valuation is the analytical process of determining the current (or projected) worth of an asset or a company. The rest is a bit of a mystery to Kate, until now. In this episode Kate grills Owen on the basics on valuation until it makes some amount of sense, and covers why valuation is worth knowing about, does it matter to ETF investors, key numbers to understand and how to continue your journey.

Why is talking about money so important? We’ve been taught from an early age that we shouldn’t talk about money, but that taboo does much more harm than good. Talking openly about our finances helps remove the culture of fear and shame that can surround money. Talking about money might feel hard right now. But not talking about it long-term will be harder. In this episode Kate & Owen discuss the importance of money conversations, some strategies to approach them with kindness and highlight the point that not everyone will learn, value or talk about money the way you do - and that’s okay!

The great debate: are you a spender or a saver? This question gets thrown around quite often, and it’s easy to lump yourself into a specific camp without really thinking about the drivers behind your behaviour. Most of us have a bit of both in us, and we’d argue that’s a good thing. This episode is going to focus on those that find themselves on the spending side of the debate, and hopefully provide you with some strategies to bring a bit more balance to your financial life. In this episode, Kate & Owen unpack the four main reasons why we spend money, with the goal of learning to spend your money with more intention. TLDR: You’re going to spend money for many different reasons and that’s a big part of your financial life. But where you can, try to articulate why you are spending the money.

Does your company have a moat? Here at Rask, one of the key pillars in our investment philosophy is investing in companies with strong advantages or moats. A moat is a throw-back to the good ol’ days when castles (business franchises) needed a ring of water (competitive advantage) to protect them from the attack of enemy armies (competitors) who had heavy armour and weaponry. A moat is a feature of a business that enables it to generate excess returns on capital for a sustained period. Under the rules of capitalism, usually a competitor would enter the market and eat away at those returns. In this episode, Kate & Owen discuss what an investment moat is, share Morningstar’s 5 moats and companies that fall within each category, along with how to identify and stress test a company’s moat.
