Oh good, yeah, well not 25 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 3: easy to wrap my head around. But I'm like, this 26 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 3: seems like a good option if you're getting into investment 27 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: and twenty. 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: Twenty four is the year of beck starting. Yes, best, Yes, 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: And I feel like from the conversations we've been having 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: not on the podcast and ETFs, what you're planning on picking? 31 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: Right? 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so how about I. 33 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: Tell you about the top five ETFs? 34 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: Then perfect? But before we get started, Yes, this is 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: a really basic question. Yes, I just want to know 36 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: if you could run us through what an ETF actually 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: is before we die. 38 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: That's smart. Let's just like start at the basics. Obviously, 39 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,919 Speaker 1: on this podcast, we have done an entire investing series historically. 40 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: We did it with shares these last year. It was 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: one of the most popular series we've ever done. It 42 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: was four episodes. It went through the investing basics, and 43 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: if you haven't listened to that, please go back and 44 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: listen to those because I think it is really important. 45 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: But to just get everyone on exactly the same page. 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: And ETF is in exchange traded fund sounds fancy, promise, 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: It's not that fancy or complicated. It's basically a basket 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: of shares, and what happens is you have decided Beck 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: and I'm using you as an example here that you're like, 50 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: you know what, I am not the type of girlie 51 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: who's gonna go out and you know, do my research 52 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: on every single individual share and then purchase every single 53 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: individual share and make sure they're consistently balanced. Yes, performing well, 54 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: doing not so well. You know, you're rebalancing your portfolio. Occasionally, 55 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: some people are really into this. Don't get me wrong, 56 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm that girl. I love to play with direct shares, 57 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: but let's be honest, they're not for everybody. You're not 58 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: an investor full time. You do video and content, right, 59 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: so why would you go and get an investment that 60 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of sense for your lifestyle. So 61 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people will turn to an exchange traded 62 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: fund because essentially fund managers who are usually big dog 63 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: white men still sadly, but we trust them here because 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: they've got lots of experience. They go, you know what, 65 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to make an ETF of my own. It's 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: going to be an exchange traded fund. Usually it's under 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: a brand, so you might have heard them under Vanguard. 68 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: You might have heard them under Global x. You might 69 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: have heard them under our friends are beta shares. There's 70 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: lots and lots of different providers. There's lots of individual providers. 71 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: If they're on the ASX SO the Australian Stock Exchange, 72 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: they're a legit ETF. It's all good like there's no 73 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: dodgy ones on there, if that makes sense. But you go, 74 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: all right, well, this person fun manager has gone and 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: done all of the work, all of the research, has 76 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: an entire team behind them that helps pick you know, 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: the shares that make up the ETF. And the ETF 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: could be of anything, beck. So there are ETFs here 79 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: in Australia of the top one hundred companies, the top 80 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: two hundred companies in Australia, the top five hundred companies. 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 1: Beyond that, it could just be a collection of tech 82 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: companies that this particular company is really passionate about and 83 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: it's gone. You know what, Beck, I've gone and done 84 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: all my research, and I reckon these are the you know, 85 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: best tech companies to put in my basket of shares. 86 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: There are thousands of different types of ETFs globally. In fact, 87 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: you can buy in the USC an ETF that only 88 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: invests in companies who have women on their boards. 89 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: Oh that's cool, right, So you. 90 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: Can nowadays find an ETF that reflects your values. Historically 91 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: it was kind of like just this big pulled fund 92 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: of like you only get the top two hundred, or 93 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: you only get the top three hundred, and you'd be like, 94 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: you know what, I'd like to trite the index. But now, 95 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: as time is going on, they're becoming more and more niche, 96 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: so women only companies, you might be looking at tech companies. 97 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: You might have an ETF that only invests in biopharmaceuticals. 98 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: You might have an ETF that invests in crypto. So 99 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: there are so many different options. But essentially it is 100 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: a basket of shares that a fund manager managers, and 101 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: you go, i'd back in on that, And in exactly 102 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: the same way that you purchase a share on the 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: stock market, you purchase an ETF. So you go, you 104 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: pay for your ETF, and instead of going, ah, this 105 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 1: share cost forty seven dollars, this ETF might cost forty 106 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: seven dollars. But by investing your forty seven dollars example, 107 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: obviously you get instant diversification and exposure to all of 108 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: those companies sitting in the basket. 109 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, does that make sense totally? So for me 110 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 3: it sounds like there's someone else doing all the thinking 111 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: for me. Yes, Like I don't want to be putting 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 3: all my eggs in one basket. Yes, But if I 113 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 3: put my basket in all the eggs, then that's what 114 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 3: an ETF kind of is. That's all you know what. 115 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let you get away with that, because 116 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: thank you, I and everyone listening knows exactly what you 117 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: meant by that so much. So. Typically BECK and ETF 118 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: is going to track I guess a particular index or 119 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: sector or commodity or other assets. So as I said before, 120 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: it might be the top one hundred, two hundred, three 121 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: hundred and four hundred whatever. It might be crypto, it 122 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: might be technology. So it's not as active as what 123 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: we call in Australia a managed fund. So a managed 124 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: fund is usually a lot more hands on. So you 125 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: might have less shares in that particular type of basket 126 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: than an ETF, but they're more highly managed. They're being 127 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: swapped out more often if necessary. You have somebody looking 128 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: at them each and every single day. It's not just 129 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: a collection of assets. The main difference between these two 130 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: types of assets, or these two types of investments, is 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: a managed fund has higher fees, so there's more people 132 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: working on it, more people to get paid. The fees 133 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: on a managed fund are always going to be higher 134 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: than an ETF that you can just go purchase in 135 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: the share market. Sure is one better than the other? 136 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. It's actually down to your values and what 137 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: you want to purchase. Personally, I think I've said before 138 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: on the podcast, I own a couple of ETFs. I 139 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: have some money in a managed fund. I also have 140 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: direct shares. I double with all of them. But predominantly 141 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: my personal and this is not advice, this is me 142 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: just sharing because I think people are real pervy. Predominantly 143 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: my investment portfolio is made up of two ETFs. 144 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: But with that said, what makes ETFs appealing to the 145 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: everyday bidd. 146 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: Well, Actually, if you're at a bar Beck and you 147 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: say I've got ETFs, you immediately look smarter and you 148 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: can tells like, yeah, what ETF have you got, and 149 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: you can start to sound a little bit like a 150 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: finance bro. 151 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 3: So social, social statay, social status is what we're looking 152 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: for here. 153 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, we're going with social status. 154 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: I could go with that. 155 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: So obviously that doesn't matter. And we all know how 156 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: I feel about finance bros. Talking about the U sits 157 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: at the bar like sit down, your dad told you 158 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: all of that. But one of the best features of 159 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: an ETF for me is that instant diversification key. So 160 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: we talk about investing all the time on the podcast 161 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: and the importance of it, But for me, it's again 162 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: like you were saying, not putting all your eggs in 163 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: one basket. Like if I went and for some reason, 164 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: I keep picking BEHP as an option. 165 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: That sounds familiar. You spoken about BHP before. 166 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's just because I've been in the 167 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: share market recently and it just keeps coming up. I 168 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: don't even invest in that, bro, It's not aligned to 169 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: my values at this point in time. But anyway, it 170 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: gives you instant diversification. So if you were to go, 171 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna buy this one share in NAB 172 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: or BHP or you know, combank or whatever, you're getting 173 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: access to only one of those assets. So let's say 174 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: that you know a bank has a really bad year, 175 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: BECK and you know they're off fifteen percent your entire 176 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: portfolio is then off fifteen percent because you have one 177 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent exposure to that asset. If you go with 178 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: an ETF and you know it might be the top 179 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: one hundred companies on the ASEX, and you go, great, 180 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: you're going to get those banks in there. Anyway, One 181 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: of them might have that negative fifteen. One of the 182 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: other banks might be just on par Another sector that 183 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: is in the top one hundred might have actually performed 184 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: at twenty three percent and looking pretty sexy. There might 185 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: be a few that are lower than that. There might 186 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: be some that have absolutely tanked. But what happens is 187 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: because you have so many investments and diversification across different 188 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: sectors and companies, you ultimately end up with an average return. 189 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: So instead of you know, just getting that one company's 190 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: losses or that one company's gains, everything averages out and 191 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: you get usually the average of that market. And to me, 192 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: I like slow and steady. I like to win the race. 193 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: I don't have to blow the lights out with my 194 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: investment portfolio. I also don't want to lose completely. So 195 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: an ETF is usually a good way of getting consistent 196 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: returns over the long term without having to be you know, 197 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: a really really smart investor who knows how to pick stocks. 198 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I totally see what you're saying. And now 199 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: my next question is what do I do? Like, what's 200 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: the process? How do I even get started? 201 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: It's really easy. I can do it, honestly. It's as 202 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: easy as like buying new shoes online. And once you 203 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: have a platform, mate, because you like then upload all 204 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: your personal information to that platform. You've obviously like you know, 205 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: signed all of their waivers and like you know, confirmed 206 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: that you're happy with their terms and conditions, and like 207 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: you've probably attached to your bank account and stuff. It's as 208 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: easy as ordering address on the Iconic. 209 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: That's easy enough. 210 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: It's too easy. It is too easy. 211 00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, slightly too easy. 212 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So to buy an ETF in Australia, you're 213 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: going to need a third party and you're going to 214 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: need either an online broker, which is less common, or 215 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: an investing platform. There are heaps of investing platforms out 216 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: there for you to choose from. I'm not going to 217 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: tell you right now, because we did a whole episode 218 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: on what investing platforms might work for you. Go listen 219 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: to that. We will link it in the show notes 220 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: to make it super easy. But obviously our community are 221 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: quite in love with Chazy's as an investing platform that 222 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: just works for them, right, and this isn't even me 223 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: plugging them, It just Chezey's does. These lots of other 224 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: places do this too. Give you access to the Australian 225 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: Stock Exchange, but the benefit of chair Z's is also 226 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: they give you access to other exchanges as well around 227 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: the world. So with Chaz's you get access to the 228 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: American Exchange, you also get access to the New Zealand 229 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: Exchange and they're always expanding, whereas if you just go 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: with an Australian one, you might not you know, be 231 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: able to buy American ETFs or shares. Does that matter no, 232 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: because you might not want to do that. Beck, Just 233 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: when you're looking for a platform, what you need to 234 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: do is just make sure that they're in line with 235 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: your expectations, because you wouldn't go and download a platform 236 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: that you know you've signed up for. You like their 237 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: marketing's great, makes sense, I really like this, but they 238 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: don't give you access to the American Stock Exchange if 239 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: that's all you wanted. 240 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 3: Sure, that's a bit silly, So I. 241 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: Think it's make sure that you're picking a platform that 242 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: works for you. All right, so you've picked your platform, 243 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: you're going to sign up to your account. You're going 244 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: to need to give them some personal information. This is 245 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: a once off thing. You don't have to do this 246 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: every time you go to invest money, but you need 247 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: to do this as kind of like a hygiene factor. 248 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: At the very beginning. You'll need to provide proof of ID, 249 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: so your driver's license or passport. You'll need to also 250 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: provide all of your personal details. A lot of platforms 251 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: will also ask for your tax file number, which is 252 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: not a red flag. 253 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: Sure. 254 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: It's actually them making sure that they have good disclosure 255 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: with the government, and in a lot of cases it's 256 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: now compulsory. So don't be like, oh, they shouldn't be 257 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: asking me for that, Yeah they should. 258 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 3: Okay, that one would be a red flag. 259 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: Meet Yeah, but it's actually not like they're making sure 260 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: sure that any income is disclosed to the tax agents. 261 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: And actually that's really good because if the ATO happened 262 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: to do an audit on a platform, which they can do, 263 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: and finds that, you know, miss besay Ed hadn't put 264 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: a TFN in and hadn't paid tax last year on 265 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: those investments, you could be in a sticky situation. So 266 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: it's actually putting you in the best possible position. Means. Also, 267 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: sometimes these things are just attached to the ATO portals, 268 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: so when you log in okay, they might be there 269 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: for you to go tick, Yeah I did that. 270 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 3: This is something you probably have told me, but I 271 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: didn't realize you had to pay tax on your earnings 272 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: or whatever. 273 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: On your income. You have to pay tax on any 274 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: income made in Australia. Okay, So if you are making money, baby, 275 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: you are paying tax. That is how the world works. 276 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: And you will pay tax on your investments at the 277 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: same rate as your marginal tax rate. 278 00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 3: Gotcha. 279 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: If you are paying tax, that's sexy, Like it means beck, 280 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: you are making money. If you are losing money on 281 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: your share portfolio, it hurts. It has happened to me before, 282 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: and like it still sucks. Like even though I was 283 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: a financial advisor back, I look at my portfolio and 284 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, this sucks. I even doing the right thing. 285 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: And then I have to remind myself, like v this 286 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: is a long term game. You signed up for this, 287 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: Like you literally tell other people to do this. But 288 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: in those years where you have a loss, you get 289 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: to carry the loss forward, so you can offset those 290 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: losses against your tax, which is kind of sexy. And 291 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: in future years, if you make a profit, you can 292 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: carry forward those losses. So like just good bookkeeping, keeping 293 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: track of things. It's okay. Your platform will help you 294 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: there if they're a good platform. So you want to 295 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: do that, right, So let's say that you've signed up 296 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: to your platform of choice. Now you know that you 297 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: have to pay tax, and you've given them all of 298 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: your personal details. You are now going to you think 299 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: about the type of ETF that you are investing in. 300 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: So what are you investing in? What's it look like? 301 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: Start to do some research. If you are on a 302 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: platform that gives you access to the Australian Stock Exchange, 303 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: you might want to go off that platform to do 304 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: your research. You might want to do some googling, have 305 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: a look at some articles online, you know, ask some friends. 306 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: You might even want to invest small amounts in a 307 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: number of different ETFs just to like give it a 308 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: bit of a go. Like I've got a couple of 309 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: girlfriends who have just started investing and they're like, I 310 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: don't know what to pick, and I am like rock 311 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: in a hard place because I'm like, I wish I 312 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: could tell you, but like I can't. So they're like, 313 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: what if I just put, you know, a small amount 314 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: of money in each of them. I'm like, oh, yeah, 315 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of like a gateway drug. 316 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 3: Beck. 317 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, once you've had the gateway drug, you're pretty 318 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: comfortable with the rest of the situation. And is that 319 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: how we should see investing. No, but it makes a 320 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: lot of people really comfortable when you explain it that way, 321 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: because you go, oh, it makes sense. Like you know, 322 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: it's like your first drink when you're really young and 323 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: you like have never had out a goal before, when 324 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: you're like this is bad, and then you're at the 325 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: pub and you're like, oh, I know what type of 326 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: wine to order. I don't know how old you were 327 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: when you first started drinking, but like, let's be brutally honest. 328 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: I was probably like fourteen, ah, and I wouldn't know 329 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: the difference between a savvy b and a chardonna. 330 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, white wine, white wine, and. 331 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: Now those ones aren't bubbly. 332 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 3: Babe, I still don't know what that leg is. 333 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: If you become a bit of a Winoh yeah, which 334 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm not right now because I'm pregnant.

But like 337 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: if you went and spoke to a wine person, they'd 338 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: be like, oh, do you not offend us with that 339 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: very bleak description. Save blanc looks like this, a chardonna 340 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: looks like this. A pino gree is very different to 341 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: a pino greasy O. 342 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: This one's got legs. 343 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: But do you know how you find what you like 344 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: you drink? You try them, You try them, you try them. 345 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: So that I think is a good analogy of what 346 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: ETFs kind of like, they're all going to be slightly different. 347 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: You might look at a lot of ETFs and go, oh, 348 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: they kind of have the same top ten holdings. Yeah, 349 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: because probably they're really stable assets and everyone just wants 350 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: to whack them in their ETF to make sure they've 351 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: got some financial stability. And then it might be you know, 352 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: sustainable assets after that. It might be you know, tech 353 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: assets after that, or biopharmaceuticals or whatever it is. But like, 354 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: don't be surprised if lots of ETFs kind of sometimes 355 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: look similar. We actually need to find our taste. And 356 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: if you want to invest in a couple of them 357 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: at the beginning and see how they go and learn 358 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: a bit more about them, and then you know, pick 359 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: one from that short list and start investing more aggressively 360 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: in that. That's probably going to make you feel a 361 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: lot more comfortable than just like commission to one at 362 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: the very start and saying this is the B all 363 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: end all and I can never change yea, you can 364 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: have a savvy B. And then he keeps go back 365 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: up to the bar and be like, wants something different? 366 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: Now are yeah exactly? Does that make sense? 367 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 3: That is making a lot more sense. 368 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: So we're finding our taste. We are re searching out 369 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: ETF and working out what works for us. And just 370 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: because it works for me, beck might not work for you, right, 371 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: Like you don't even drink so like me picking a wine, 372 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: You might be like me, I don't even want a wine. 373 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: I want a water on a free sparkling water at 374 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: the pub. Absolutely, but we have different tastes and that's okay, 375 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that we can't be on the 376 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: same page about having conversations about asset classes and having 377 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: conversations about what we invest in. It doesn't mean that 378 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: we have to pick the same thing though. Just because 379 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: you picked it doesn't mean that it's going to work 380 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: really well for me, because I'm telling you right now, 381 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: when I'm not pregnant, you can have a really nice, 382 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: savvy be and probably gonna put an ice cube in it. 383 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: But nobody judged me for that, right I was selling. 384 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: It to me. 385 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to welcome. You can come over and drink 386 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: with me, thank you. So then what you're going to 387 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: do is you've picked an ETF that you want to 388 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: start with, or you've picked a couple of ETFs that 389 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: you want to start with. You're then going to go 390 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: to your platform and just search the ticker code. Anything 391 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: that is traded on a stock exchange as a ticker code, 392 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: and this is essentially a unique individual code that identifies 393 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: a business or an investment in an abbreviated form. So 394 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: whenever you go to place a buy or a cell 395 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: you're going to need to know that ASX code to 396 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: be able to make that transaction. It is not complex, right, 397 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: National Australia Bank BECK their ticker code is NAB WOW 398 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: it's easy, right, it's actually not complex. They're not these 399 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: codes that you're not going to know. It's not like 400 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: a Wi Fi password. No, it's not like a Wi 401 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: Fi password. It's not something that you're going to get 402 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: confused by. And once you have your investment portfolio, these 403 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: ticker codes are basically going to be attached to everything, 404 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: so you know, if you're looking at your investment, it 405 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: will usually have like your ticker code in brackets always, 406 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: so you know what you're looking at, because some things 407 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: are really similar. Right, Like as I said before, Vanguard 408 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: they're one of the biggest issuers of ETFs in Australia. 409 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: I've got heaps of them, so sometimes I even get 410 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: confused about looking at what the different ETFs are, but 411 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: I know the ticker codes and that's what helps me 412 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: decipher it. Most ASX listed companies have three characters in 413 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: their ticker codes. Most ETFs have four characters in their 414 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: ticker code. So start there, won't get too much into it. 415 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: I'm actually releasing an investment course later this year and 416 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: we'll like deep dive into absolutely everything so that you 417 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: guys become actual financial investment wizards. More on that later, 418 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: but Essentially, you'll have your ticker code, you'll key it in, 419 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: and then you just place an order to purchase in 420 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: exactly the same way that you do buy address on 421 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: the Iconic. It's not complex. You don't need to, you know, 422 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: fill in any more forms. You just get your platform, 423 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: get it sorted, put all your info on there, and 424 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: then whenever you want to invest, you go on there, 425 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: you pick it, you kit by, it's attached to your 426 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: bank account. Everything will be all good. Same thing when 427 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: it comes to selling. I feel like, don't want this 428 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: investment anymore. I want to get rid of it. You 429 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: hit cell and it basically gets refunded into your account. 430 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 3: This is really good to know because my brain for 431 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: some reason, like even if I'm going it's complex, Yeah, 432 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 3: like I need to know every single step before you 433 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 3: know I do it to actually do it. 434 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Your job after that is to log into the platform, 435 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: watch its performance. Don't do it too often because analysis paralysis. 436 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: But like, we're investing for the long term, so keep adding, 437 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: keep growing, and then essentially we're just gonna get really rich. 438 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: Right that love, that's our plan, that's the goal. Let 439 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: your hair down, watch it grow, maybe see how. 440 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: We go anytime you let your hair down, Beck, I 441 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: swear you just cut it off or bleed it. So, like, 442 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's good advice, probably very risky. 443 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 3: We will keep it up. I'll keep it up. Okay. 444 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: So with ETFs, what actually makes a good ETF? Like 445 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 3: is it cheapest? Is it best performing? Is it one 446 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 3: that's been around for the longest, or like most reliable? 447 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: At least I could give you an answer on that. 448 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd a feeling you'd say something. 449 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: Like this, Yeah, I feel like I'm a little bit 450 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: of a broken record, nor I try to trick you. Yeah, okay. 451 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: So is the cheapest to the best not necessarily, Beck, 452 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: because sometimes you pay peanuts and you get monkeys, right, Like, 453 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: you might be looking at ETFs and starting to get 454 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: a little bit of analysis paralysis because you're like, you know, 455 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: literally comparing them and going, all right, well, the fee 456 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: on this is point five and the fee on this 457 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: is point six. Oh is it worth the extra fee? Like, 458 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,719 Speaker 1: I don't know, I want the cheaper one, and then 459 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: you might go with the cheaper one. But sometimes when 460 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. And you know, we 461 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: all know the story of you know, even just buying 462 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: school shoes. 463 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: Right. 464 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: We all know that if you buy the cheapest school shoes, 465 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: you're going to replace them more often and it might 466 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: cost you longer in the long term than just buying 467 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,239 Speaker 1: the good investment at the start and wearing them for 468 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: twelve months. Right, But that is not all it comes 469 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: down to. It also comes down to returns. And after 470 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: the break, I'm going to be talking to you about 471 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: I guess the returns of the top five performing ETFs. 472 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: And what I want to be really clear you're about 473 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: is this is not normal, Like these are the top 474 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: five performing ETFs. It's actually really impressive. But we're talking 475 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: about like nearly fifty percent return on some of these ETFs. 476 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 3: Beck. 477 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: We're not talking about the average return of the Australian 478 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: share market. 479 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: Beck. 480 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: Here, we're talking about, you know, those top five performing 481 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: ETFs from twenty twenty three, because if we did and 482 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: we actually looked at the average rate of return of 483 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: the Australian market in twenty twenty three, if we look 484 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: at the SMP two hundred. So the SMP is a 485 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: very American term and it's something that I like to 486 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: talk about quite often. So it's the standard and pause 487 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: five hundred, which is basically the top five hundred companies 488 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: in a share market. In Australia, we just call it 489 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: like the ASX two hundred or what not. And here 490 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: in Australia, if we actually looked at the ASX Top 491 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: two hundred, which it's sicker code bec is XJO, the 492 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: average rate of return in twenty twenty three was seven 493 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: point eight percent. Okay, so that's pretty good as a return. 494 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: It's modest, it's normal. You know, the average historical benchmark 495 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: is nine point three for the ASEX Top two hundred. 496 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: And I guess much of this return when you look 497 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: at the I guess basket of shares, right, So this 498 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: basket of shares that we're talking about right now, Beck 499 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: has two hundred shares in it, two hundred different assets. 500 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: But much of the return of the ASEX Top two 501 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: hundred actually comes from the top twenty shares in that basket, Okay, 502 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: So the rest of it's for diversification and exposure. Obviously 503 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: there's like more prominent waiting inside those top twenty shares. 504 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: But it's really important to understand once we get into it, 505 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: that sometimes when picking an ETF, it slow and steady 506 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: wins the race. We're not trying to shoot the lights 507 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: out and try and you know, find the next crypto. 508 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: We're not trying to you know, invest in an after 509 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: pay which has really high returns. And all your friends 510 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: at the pub said that that was a really good idea, 511 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? So I think we 512 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: need to contextualize it, because are we going for the 513 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: highest returns? No, I've never ever ever beg picked an 514 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: ETF for a client when I was working as a 515 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: financial advisor based on the returns it had. I would 516 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: be picking an ETF because aligned to my client's values. Obviously, 517 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: as a hygiene factor, you want them to be performing. 518 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: If an ETF over a long period of time is 519 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: not performing, you might rebalance the portfolio and replace it 520 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: with something that does, because it's obviously important to get returns. 521 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: But sometimes picking an ETF that is going to be 522 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: tried and true and steady, and you're like, you know 523 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: what it's going to do what it says on the 524 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: serial packet, sometimes that's way better than trying to shoot 525 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: the lights out. And I can guarantee we did this 526 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: episode last year. We did the top five ETFs of 527 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. I have since looked at those top 528 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: five ETFs and yeah, they definitely don't have the same 529 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: performance the year after. So if you're going to listen 530 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: to this episode and go, oh, vise've done the top 531 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: five ETFs twenty twenty three, we're gonna go invest in them. 532 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: Terrible idea. Okay, just because they performed this year. Sure, 533 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean they're going to do it again. I mean 534 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: they might, but like I can't guarantee that. 535 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 3: No, I mean rogue. And sometimes it's kind of like, 536 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 3: why did you make so much money in such a 537 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 3: short amount of time? Surely that's unsustainable. But who am I? 538 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 3: I know, financial advisor, but. 539 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: You're getting there, Like this year bexied is going to 540 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: be an. 541 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 3: Investor qualified financial advisor, no unqualified investor. 542 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: I think is probably what we could reduce it too happy, 543 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: But I reckon we should go to a really quick break. 544 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: I really wanted to get into what the top five 545 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: ETFs were for twenty twenty three. We're going to look at, 546 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: you know, the average return, We're going to look at 547 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: the fees, We're going to look at the performance. I 548 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: think something that you'll be really surprised about is a 549 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: lot of these onns are brand new, so that'll be 550 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: really fun. Guys, don't go anywhere because it's about to 551 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: get a little bit SPICYO. 552 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 3: Okay, welcome back everyone. Now at the moment, we've all 553 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: been absolutely dying. 554 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: For, have we You're so dramatic. I love it. Tell 555 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 1: us it's like me, I'm like, I will die if 556 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't get a frozen coach. 557 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: I honestly think I might die if you don't tell 558 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: us in the next three minutes. 559 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: All right, all right, right, let me get into it. 560 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: I've obviously got the top five. I have sourced these 561 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: from the ASX. This is from twenty twenty three. The 562 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: period ending is the thirtieth of November, which is a 563 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: very normal reporting period. So if you went and googled 564 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: these right now and what their returns are, their returns 565 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: are not going to be what I am reporting on 566 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: this podcast, because I have just done the reporting to 567 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: November twenty twenty three. Because we're looking at like a 568 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: defined period, not something that's moving like what happened last year, Beck, 569 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: not what's happening now what happened last year. So I'm 570 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: gonna go lowest performing all the way through to like 571 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: the number one highest performing asset. We have numbered these 572 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: based on return, not on fees or anything like that. 573 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: So let's kick it off. Are you ready? 574 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: I'm so ready. 575 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: Coming in At number five, we have the Global X 576 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: Semiconductor ETF. 577 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 3: Okay, something to do with trains. No, I just think 578 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 3: of Tom's tank engine. 579 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not that far off, Beck. The description 580 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: of this ETF is the Global X Semiconductor ETF. Ticker 581 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: code is SEMI seeks to invest in companies that stand 582 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: to potentially benefit from the broader adoption of tech enabled 583 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: devices that require semiconductors. This includes the development and manufacturing 584 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: of semiconductors. 585 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: So I don't know what sounds so funny to me? 586 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 3: It is, okay, so niche. 587 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: If I look at the top holdings in this ETF, 588 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee you've never heard of them. So 589 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: number one holding at ten point eight one percent of 590 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: their portfolio is broad Colm Inc. Number two at nine 591 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: point two percent is TSMC. Then we have Nevada Corp. 592 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: Then we have ASML holding Envy and all of these 593 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: things that, honestly, as a financial advisor, I had never 594 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: heard of either, which makes sense because it's actually a 595 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: relatively new ETF. Right, So if we have a look 596 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: at the sector breakdown, ninety nine percent of this sector 597 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: breakdown is made up of information technology, and then you've 598 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: got zero point one percent cash because sometimes ETFs will 599 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: carry some cash just to be safe. They don't have 600 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: much cash. If you look at a country breakdown, most 601 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: of it comes from the United States, so sixty six 602 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: percent of the assets they hold are based in the US. 603 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 1: Then you've got twelve percent in Taiwan. You've got eleven 604 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: point eight percent in the Netherlands. Then you've got Japan, 605 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: South Korea, Germany and France, which makes sense as to 606 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: why you and I haven't heard of them, because none 607 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: of them for Australia makes sense. So what puts this 608 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: at number five? Back I hear you asking. It's one 609 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: year return of forty seven point ninety five percent? 610 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 3: WHOA, How's that even wild possible? 611 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: They just returned really well. Interestingly, they don't have a 612 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: three or a five year return. Because this is a 613 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: brand new ETF just entered the market, doesn't mean that 614 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: it has had great return just because people have gotten 615 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: in on it. It's inception date, so it's start date 616 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: when it like kind of was invented is August twenty 617 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: twenty one, and interestingly it's doing really well. But yes, 618 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: this is something that I don't think any of us 619 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: would have heard of prior to this podcast. 620 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 3: Episode unless you're a semiconductor. 621 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: But imagine if we've got in on that, then. 622 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: I know that sounds incredible. But also we shouldn't because 623 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 3: I'm the type that would rush into that and be like, 624 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 3: oh my god, maybe I could still get on this train. 625 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean a lot of people are probably 626 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: going to go and do a lot of research. I 627 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: mean there's you know, if you go onto any website 628 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: that does research on things that are listed, you'll find 629 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: heaps of reasons why to invest. And also you've got 630 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: to kind of take all of that with a grain 631 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: of salt, you know. I do quite like global x 632 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: as an ETF provider. They're nice people, they do a 633 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: good job. I really like I guess how they evaluate 634 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: performance at holdings in different characteristics. But if you went 635 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: to their website global x and how to look at that, 636 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of a marketing platform as well. So I've 637 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: just got to be careful when we're doing research that 638 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: we know where our research is coming from, because obviously 639 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: global X is going to put their best foot forward 640 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 1: for their ETF and be like, here's this shiny marketing 641 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: and here are the reasons to consider semi as in investment. 642 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: Here are the reasons that you should look at, you know, 643 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: investing in this in the future, and this is the 644 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: next big thing. And basically every marketing page is going 645 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: to say that. So if I were I would be 646 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: looking a bit broader than just the marketing websites for 647 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: the ETF that you know is owned by that company. 648 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: Does that make sense, Yeah, it totally does. 649 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: Touching on fees right before we move on. Their fees 650 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: are pretty reasonable, So I, as an ex financial advisor, 651 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: would usually look at an ETF fee. I would call 652 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: it reasonable. If it's one percent or below, okay, I'm 653 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: usually pretty surprised. If it's more than one percent doesn't 654 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: mean it's bad. Again, there's usually a really good reason 655 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: for it. It could have more management, it could have, 656 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, a whole heap of other resources being thrown 657 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: at it that you go, well, I'm having to pay 658 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: extra for that. But usually ETFs have fees below one percent, 659 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: and the Global ex Semiconductor ETF has a fee of 660 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: point to five seven percent per annum. 661 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 3: That sounds really good, not bad. 662 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: Would you like to move on, my friend? 663 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah, let's say number two. If that's the least. Wait, 664 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: we're talking we're talking. 665 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: About going lowest to highest lost highest in terms of return, 666 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: in terms of return, So that's the least. That's the least. 667 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: Forty seven was the worst that they did this year. Okay, 668 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: So number four ETF is the Hyperion Growth Global Stunning. Yeah, 669 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: I knew you'd know that was next. So if we 670 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: look this one up, this says the fund seeks to 671 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: achieve consistent average investment returns over a row five year 672 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: period by investing in high quality, predictable businesses with superior 673 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: growth prospects and attractive risk adjusted return profiles. 674 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 3: Oh lovely. 675 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: So this one again has an asset allocation that is 676 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: semi similar to the first ETF we talked about. So 677 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: this one has an asset allocation of ninety eight point 678 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: ninety one percent of international equity and it's only carrying 679 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: one point oh nine percent cash. So good to know, 680 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: nothing too exciting. But this one has some assets that 681 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: you might actually know. So if we look at the 682 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: assets that the portfolio is made up of twelve point 683 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: one five percent Tesla. 684 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 3: Sounds familiar, familiar. 685 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: Then you've got ten point eight nine percent of a 686 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: company called service Now Inc. You then have Microsoft, Amazon, Spotify, 687 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: work Day Block Inc. Meta Visa, and companies that you're 688 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: probably gonna know sure, which should not come as a 689 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: surprise because remember what we said, they are looking for 690 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: consistent growth in relatively conservative companies. So you go, all right, 691 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: well that makes sense. Hyperion sounds fancy, though. 692 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 3: Does sound very fancy. 693 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: I think this is a really good checking point as well, 694 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: because if I'd said to you without the context I 695 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: just provided, but let's talk about the Hyperion Global Growth ETF, 696 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 1: you would have been like. 697 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 3: I'm way out of my depth pre this episode exactly. 698 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 3: I have pretended I didn't hear. 699 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: But it's actually just a fancy name for the ETF, 700 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: because you know what, if I had an ETF, I'd 701 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: want it to have a good name too. 702 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,240 Speaker 3: I'll tell this beautiful name. 703 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: Right, so we don't have to think about the name. 704 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: Don't let the names overwhelm you if you're starting to 705 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: do your ETF research, because honestly, you might go through 706 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: this and be like, well, Actually, I do want exposure 707 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: to Tesla and Microsoft and Amazon and Spotify and Workday 708 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,959 Speaker 1: and all of these companies that kind of make sense. 709 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: I actually aligned to the values of this particular ETF 710 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: might work for you, Right, It's not what we're here for. 711 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: I'm just giving context because I feel like I like 712 00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: doing that. It's asx code is hy doubleg beck. It 713 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: comes in at a one year return. Again, it doesn't 714 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: have like our previous ETF three or five year returns. 715 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: One year return of fifty three point six eight percent. Wow, 716 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: that's so nice. 717 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 3: Am I wrong in feeling like no three and five 718 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 3: year return is like very disconcerting. 719 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. And I think it's important 720 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: to kind of weigh up the pros and cons. Okay, 721 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: is it something that I would personally invest in? Look, 722 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: I haven't done that. I'm a more tried to. Like, 723 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: I really like a company that has, you know, consistent 724 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,919 Speaker 1: dividend payout and is actually quite steady. And a lot 725 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: of the ETFs that I own do have the three, five, 726 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: even ten year growth that it can report on, because 727 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: that makes me feel comfortable that they've kind of been 728 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: doing the job for a long time. Does that mean 729 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: that it's a bad thing to invest in a company 730 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: like this, No, because it's basically a global equity managed fund. Like, 731 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: have a look at the company behind it. You know what? 732 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: That company behind it might have been doing ETFs for 733 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: thirty forty years and they've just created a brand new one. 734 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: So that would take a bit of pressure off when 735 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: it comes to oh, well who are they? That gives 736 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: me anxiety and then you go, oh, am I actually anxious? Beck, 737 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: if they've been doing this for fifty the years and 738 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: they've just got a new product. Whereas if they are 739 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: a brand new business putting ETFs into the market and 740 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,839 Speaker 1: don't have a tried, true track record, I'd be like, oh, 741 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 1: that makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable. So we're 742 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: just trying to keep ourselves safe. But the best way 743 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: to keep ourselves safe is to keep ourselves educated and 744 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: understanding what's happening. And this is what I mean when 745 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: I talk about research, right, Like research sounds really overwhelming. 746 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: But Beck, go and google top five ETFs. Now click 747 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: into one of those profiles and look at what they hold. 748 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: Do you know the companies? Does that make you comfortable? 749 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: You know what we might talk to some of our 750 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: listeners on the show and they'll be like, I would 751 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: never invest in Tesla, Like, ill absolutely not going to 752 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: support that. Cool, Well, maybe that's just not the etfu's 753 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: move on. What's the next ETF you're going to look at? 754 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: On the flip side, we might have someone who goes, 755 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I love that, like this is made 756 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: up of a whole heap of assets that I do 757 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: want exposure to. I love this idea. Right, And obviously 758 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: this fifty three point six eight percent growth pretty sexy, 759 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: But we also need to realize that it's not just 760 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 1: the ETF driving that growth. Right, Like, if we look 761 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 1: at this portfolio that Hyperion has, twelve point one five 762 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: percent of that portfolio is made up of Tesla, and 763 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: we also know that one year return on Tesla in 764 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three was one hundred and fifteen point two three, 765 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: So that's actually really high and it's driving a lot 766 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: of the growth. We then drop down and look at 767 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: the individual performance of each of the assets that are 768 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: in that list and go, well, actually, it makes sense 769 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: that Hyperion had you know, fifty three percent growth because 770 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: the companies that hell did really well. We need to 771 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: then dive deeper and go will they continue to perform 772 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: as well as they did this year? Was their good 773 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 1: reason as to why they performed as well as they 774 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: did this year? Does that make sense? 775 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 4: Yeah? 776 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 3: Definitely. 777 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,320 Speaker 1: So to touch on fees, we said before we like 778 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: anything below one percent BECK, and that is zero point 779 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: seven percent four fees on hyperion. 780 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 3: Very nice. 781 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: Any questions from the class. 782 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 3: Not yet good. I'm liking what I'm hearing. 783 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: Is it exciting? 784 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 3: Especially excited because I know those are the least turn 785 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 3: But also I feel like when we start to talk 786 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 3: about the top five and I break it down, you go, oh, 787 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 3: it's not that complicated, is it? It's making sense. 788 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: Here is the NEXTDTF BECK coming in at number three 789 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: with arguably one of the longer names that makes people 790 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: feel overwhelmed. But we will break this down is the 791 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: Global x Ultralong NASDAK one hundred hedge fund WHOA. 792 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 3: Okay, I was going to try and repeat it after you, 793 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 3: but I've. 794 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 1: Got Global x ulter it on NASDAK one hundred hedge funds. 795 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 1: WHOA Yep, that comes in at a one year return 796 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 1: BECK eighty three point one nine percent. 797 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 3: WHOA, Oh that is so wild? 798 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: They have a three year return. I bet you're assuming 799 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 1: it's going to be high, but it's actually five point 800 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: six four percent. We will break it down and explain 801 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: exactly how this has happened. So first things first, let's 802 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: talk about the actual product. 803 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 3: Sure. 804 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: The Global x Ultralong Nasdaq one hundred Hedge Fund, which 805 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: we could just use the ticker code of l NAS, 806 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 1: is an actively managed fund that aims to provide investors 807 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,240 Speaker 1: with geared returns. So geared returns means there is money 808 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: being borrowed to be invested that are positively related to 809 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 1: the return of the NASDAQ one hundred index by investing 810 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 1: primarily in a portfolio of long E mini NASDAQ one 811 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: hundred futures contracts listed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. 812 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 3: I am so sorry. I don't know. 813 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: No, I just thought that you already knew that. 814 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 3: What's an e mini? 815 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get to that, Okay. The OBJECTI of this 816 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: fund is to provide investors with positively geared exposure to 817 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 1: the Nasdaq one hundred. 818 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 3: Positively geared borrowed money, yes, okay. 819 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: Geared investment means that it is borrowed money, it's currency hedged, 820 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: so that means that exposure to currency movements between I 821 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: guess the US dollar and the Australian dollar is reduced. 822 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,439 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean it's eliminated completely. But hedging, you know how 823 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 1: like the currency goes up and down, hedging means it's 824 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more stable. It does go up and 825 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: down a little bit. But it's really important to understand 826 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: what hedged versus unhedged means. Unhedged literally just means that 827 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: they're not accounting for any like currency changes. So this one, 828 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: being a hedge fund, I'm unable to break it down 829 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,720 Speaker 1: for you, so I can't go all right, Their biggest 830 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: holding is abc D and E because what they actually 831 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,480 Speaker 1: track is the Nasdaq one hundred index, and that is 832 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 1: one of the world's most I guess pre eminent large 833 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 1: cap So large cap just means a big company indices 834 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: it has some of the planet's most iconic companies. So 835 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: essentially it includes one hundred of the largest American domestic 836 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,840 Speaker 1: and international non financial companies that are listed on the 837 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: Nasdaq stock market. And essentially it has a market cap 838 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: of fifteen trillion dollars back and the Nasdaq one hundred 839 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,279 Speaker 1: essentially has proven growth history, impact and performance. Like I'm 840 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,320 Speaker 1: assuming you've heard of the NASDAK before, whether you understand 841 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: it or not, it's a word that it's on the 842 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 1: telly all the time. It makes a lot of sense. 843 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: It's made up of I guess the world's most popular companies, 844 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 1: so I can guarantee you'll see Apple, Google, Intel, Tesla, 845 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: all of those types of companies in there, and of 846 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 1: this technology companies make up about fifty percent of the 847 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 1: Nasdaq waiting, but all the listed companies are essentially what 848 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: they call disrupting markets, which is essentially new technology, which 849 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: you know makes a lot of sense. But essentially what 850 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 1: they're looking for is companies that accelerate change and have 851 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 1: what they are deeming to be out of the box 852 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: and robust solutions. So obviously they put it together. It's 853 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: been around for a little while, first couple of years, 854 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 1: Like during this economy five point six y four, you 855 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't be super angry, you'd be all right, not the 856 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: worst I reckon. A few people were like, what the 857 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 1: her can when they have found out that in twenty 858 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: twenty three they had an average rate of return of 859 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 1: a three point one nine percent. 860 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 3: That's incredible. 861 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be mad? Oh, I'd probably keep my money in there. Actually, yeah, 862 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,200 Speaker 1: would I invest more in it now? Though maybe not, 863 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: because past performance is not a reliable predictor of future performance. 864 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: Back just because they did it in one year doesn't 865 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: mean they are going to do it consistently. 866 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 3: Yes, very true. 867 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: So we need to be really careful that we don't 868 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 1: kind of buy into the hype and go, oh my gosh, 869 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 1: this is great, because remember how that happened with the 870 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 1: after pay shares, and every man and his dog in 871 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: every officer around Australia was like, did you get after 872 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: pay chares? And then everyone bought them? And then everyone 873 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: lost my because they are buying them purely based on hype, 874 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: not because they're done market researches. Yeah, so we don't 875 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: want to be the afterpay guys, right, all right? So 876 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: that is the global x Ultralong NASDAK one hundred hedge fund. 877 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,440 Speaker 1: Do you want to know what the fee is and 878 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 1: then we'll go to number two? 879 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, good idea. 880 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: The fee is a flat one percent. 881 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, that's fine, that's fine. 882 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: Literally anything one percent or below we're not mad about, 883 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 1: not mad, all right? 884 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 3: Cuting it fine. 885 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: The next one coming in at number two. It's actually 886 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: another global x ETF beck doing very well. It's global 887 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: x Fang plus ETF. Okay, fancy doesn't that it does, 888 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 1: So the global x Fang plus ETF. It's ticker code 889 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: is going to come as no surprise. It is fang easy. 890 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: It seeks to invest in companies at the leading edge 891 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: of next generation technology that includes household names and some newcomers, 892 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: So that's nice for them. Do you know what the 893 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: performance on that was? 894 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 2: What? 895 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 1: Eighty four point two nine percent twenty three these technology companies. 896 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 3: I feel like that's the main theme here, is a 897 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,280 Speaker 3: lot of like techy sort of five. 898 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: It does have historical performance, so not five year, but 899 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,799 Speaker 1: it does have three year because it's inception date so 900 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: essentially the date it was born is February twenty twenty. 901 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,320 Speaker 1: So it's three year return. Pretty good to be honest. 902 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,800 Speaker 1: Seventeen point zero three percent. 903 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 3: Oh that is good. 904 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,320 Speaker 1: That's good for a three year return, especially in this economy. Yeah, seriously, 905 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: like after twenty twenty getting that greater performance, right, we're 906 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: not mad. Eighty four point two nine percent though, that's 907 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 1: pretty exciting. 908 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really good. 909 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: ETF is made up of a number of assets you 910 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,200 Speaker 1: would have heard of before. So you have Meta as 911 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 1: the number one holding, coming in at ten point six 912 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: three percent of the portfolio. Then you have Alphabet, Tesla, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon, Broadcom, Apple, 913 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,880 Speaker 1: all these companies That kind of makes sense. It's obviously 914 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: got a lot more, but those are some of the top. 915 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: When it comes to fees, Global ex Fang Plus ETF 916 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: has a fee of point three to five. 917 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 3: Oh that's very good. 918 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: A lot lower. 919 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 3: Expecting something higher for some reason or don't know. 920 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I expected a little bit higher, but I'm not 921 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: surprised because it is more of a traditional etfure. So 922 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: when it's a more traditional ETF it does what it 923 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,799 Speaker 1: says on the box you're usually looking at. I would 924 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: say under zero point six percent in fees when they 925 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: become a little bit more managed. So before we were 926 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 1: talking about Hyperion, their fee was point seven because it's 927 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: a bit more managed. Then you've got a hedge fund, 928 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 1: which obviously involves a lot more admin because they're doing 929 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: the hedging, and it was geared that came in at 930 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 1: one percent, and that made a lot of sense to 931 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: me because I was like, well, there's a bit more 932 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,960 Speaker 1: complexity in this particular asset as opposed to know a 933 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: straight ETF where they've picked a whole bunch of shares, 934 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,919 Speaker 1: popped them in the basket and caught it a day. 935 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 3: So its on at the. 936 00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 1: Breakdown because I'm excited about this all the time. Percent. 937 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,799 Speaker 1: So basically, half of this ETF is made up of 938 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: information technology, thirty one percent is communication services, nineteen point 939 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: nine percent is consumer discretionary sector, and then it has 940 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: point one percent cash. So these ETFs, the thing that 941 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm seeing that they have all in common is they're 942 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,480 Speaker 1: not carrying much cash all because cash doesn't have. 943 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 3: Good returns, No, certainly doesn't. 944 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 1: So again country breakdown, ninety nine point ninety five percent 945 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: of the company's in this ETF for American Classic no surprise. No, 946 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,439 Speaker 1: I can see you are waiting on bated breath. Beck, 947 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 1: I am you liken't just tell me the number one. 948 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: I don't even care about fang anymore. 949 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 3: If the second highest is eighty four, I'm dying to 950 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 3: know what number one. 951 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 1: Is, all right, So number one has a return of 952 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 1: ninety one zero point six zero percent. Whoh, that's like 953 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,479 Speaker 1: photomically three. Basically that's a good deal. 954 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,319 Speaker 3: That's very, very very good. 955 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: I would like that consistently in my portfolio. Unobtainable, unrealistic. 956 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,640 Speaker 1: But that's not the point, right, too much to ask? 957 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: Is it too much to ask to get consistently good returns? 958 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: So this fund, I think is a bit rogue, And 959 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: I say it's a bit rogue because I'm looking at 960 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: it going of course you are, of course you are. 961 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 1: Do you know what it's called? 962 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 3: What is it? 963 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 1: It's the beta shares. We like Beta shares if you 964 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: haven't heard of them, they are a really good ETF 965 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: provider here in Australia. The Beta Shares Crypto Innovators ETF. 966 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 1: Oh crypto, I who knows how I feel about crypto? 967 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, this seems very controversial. 968 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 1: It's a little bit spicy. But did you know you 969 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,600 Speaker 1: can buy crypto in the form of an ETF on 970 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,560 Speaker 1: the AX that you didn't know that? 971 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 3: Oh? The ETF is crypto. 972 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: It invests in crypto technology companies. So the fund objective 973 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 1: is to track the performance of an index before fees 974 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 1: and expenses. That provides exposure to global companies at the 975 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: forefront of the dynamic crypto economy. So you're investing in 976 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 1: companies that are you know, working with crypto working on crypto. 977 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm on the Beta shares website. So again, some of 978 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,800 Speaker 1: this is definitely marketing, but it does explain it very simply. 979 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:13,279 Speaker 1: But essentially cryp is their ticker code. It invests in 980 00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 1: up to fifty different crypto leaders like coinbase, Riot, Blockchain, 981 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 1: micro Strategy, and more. So these are all crypto providers. 982 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 1: You're not investing in the actual cryptocurrency, so you're not 983 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 1: going to buy the bitcoin, beck You're investing in the 984 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: company that makes a bitcoin. 985 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,840 Speaker 3: Okay, that feels a bit better, makes. 986 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,719 Speaker 1: More sense, right, So if we look at this, as 987 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: I said, one year return ninety one point six zero percent, 988 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't have three or five year return. Because this 989 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 1: is one of the first, if not the first crypto 990 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: ETF that has been accessible in our market. Its fees 991 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 1: are very good given you know, I would kind of 992 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 1: have expected a cryptocurrency ETF to be a bit higher 993 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: purely because there's more research, it's a newer emerging market rara. 994 00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,840 Speaker 1: But it's point six seven percent. Oh, very reasonable, not 995 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: too bad. If we then have a look at the 996 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: portfolio holding, so like, what is that investment actually made 997 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 1: up of? Sure, fifteen percent is a company called Marathon 998 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: Digital Holdings, obviously a tech crypto company. Coinbase comes in 999 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 1: at nine point four percent, Galaxy Digital Holdings is nine 1000 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: point three percent, and then it goes through Riot Platforms, 1001 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: Micro Strategy, Bit Farms, Northern Data, Applied Digital Corp, HUT 1002 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: eight Corp, and Bank Holdings. So all of that obviously 1003 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 1: makes not a lot of sense if you don't follow crypto, 1004 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,959 Speaker 1: but all of those companies are creating cryptocurrency and trying 1005 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 1: to make it the future, which I think is really cool. 1006 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 1: When it comes to that, I guess sector allocation and 1007 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 1: that breakdown, you won't be surprised that application software companies 1008 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 1: make up fifty three percent of the portfolio. Then you've 1009 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:56,640 Speaker 1: got financial exchanges and data asset management and custody banking, 1010 00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 1: transaction and payment processing systems, diverse banks, and they do 1011 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: not hold any cash. 1012 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 3: You don't really need it. 1013 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: If we look at country though, you're not going to 1014 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,760 Speaker 1: be surprised. Seventy six point six percent of this country 1015 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 1: allocation is made up of American businesses, then seven point 1016 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: seven percent, Canadian companies, four point six percent Germany. Then 1017 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: it goes China, Brazil, Australia one point five percent, Cayman Islands, 1018 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 1: which makes me laugh because it's so rogue. Usually the 1019 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: company is not in the Cayman Islands. 1020 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 3: Beck. 1021 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 1: It means that whoever owns the company has set up 1022 00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 1: their banking in the Cayman Islands, which obviously is a 1023 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,240 Speaker 1: little bits of a red flag because it's usually people 1024 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:46,239 Speaker 1: trying to honestly legally avoid tax. Legally, it is legal 1025 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,680 Speaker 1: to set up your company in the Cayman Islands, okay, 1026 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 1: but there will be good reasons as to why they 1027 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 1: do that, and they are usually to circumvent the laws 1028 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,320 Speaker 1: in the country that they actually live in. I see, 1029 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 1: and then one point four percent of other So I 1030 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 1: find that really interesting. And the number one who would 1031 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,400 Speaker 1: have thought wow is a crypto etf. 1032 00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,759 Speaker 3: Wow, and would not have thought I'd see the day. 1033 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: I didn't think i'd see the day. And if I 1034 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 1: had a grave, i'd be rolling in it. 1035 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 3: Haha. 1036 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: But that is okay. I think it's really interesting. Does 1037 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: that mean you guys should run out and go and 1038 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: invest in these ETFs? Absolutely not, that's a terrible idea. 1039 00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: You need to do your research and understand what you're 1040 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 1: investing in and why. And obviously, as we went through 1041 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: the top five. There were good reasons as to why 1042 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: they had that type of growth and that type of return, 1043 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,839 Speaker 1: And usually it wasn't the ETF itself, it was some 1044 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,240 Speaker 1: of the holdings inside of that ETF, And we already 1045 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:45,719 Speaker 1: identified Tesla was one of the main investments in a 1046 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: lot of those ETFs, and they're the ones that were 1047 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: carrying a lot of that weight. Yes, so interesting to 1048 00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 1: know something to deep dive into. Hopefully that, like I 1049 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 1: don't know, sparks some people's interest in doing some more research, 1050 00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,720 Speaker 1: because I promise it's not that. 1051 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,520 Speaker 3: Comp Yeah, it's scary. 1052 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 1: It's not scary. It's actually really interesting. And once you 1053 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,759 Speaker 1: start looking at it, you're like, oh, they did what 1054 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:07,759 Speaker 1: And then you go and look at another ETF and 1055 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, spicy, who's that? Like, I promise it's 1056 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,880 Speaker 1: way more exciting than it sounds before you've gotten involved. 1057 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 3: Yes, okay, I've got a bit of googling too. I 1058 00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 3: also want to unpack this Cayman Island tax fiasco. 1059 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a bit spicy. 1060 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, this sounds very douicy to me, but thank you 1061 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 3: so much for this has helped me. 1062 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 1: It's fun.
