Expert: Catriona Burns - Investing in AI outside the Big 7 | Wilson Asset Management

Dylan Pargiter-Green is a Director and Financial Advisor at Bold Wealth. He specialises in helping older Australians prepare for retirement. 
While we are still (sadly) a few years (decades) away from retirement, we wanted to ask Dylan the common mistakes he sees in his older clients that we can take steps to avoid today. We also wanted to discuss some of the big life milestones to come - settling down with a partner, having kids, navigating the cost of education, preparing for retirement - and how we can best prepare for them today. 
If you would like to speak to Dylan, fill out the form on our website and we'll put you in touch.

Dion Hershan is Executive Chairman and Head of Australian Equities at Yarra Capital. Today on the podcast, he gives us a new name for the largest stocks on the Aussie share market: The Mundane 7 (made up of the big 4 banks - Commonwealth, NAB, ANZ and Westpac - and the 3 large miners - BHP, Rio Tinto and Fortescue).
In this episode Dion advises us to avoid the Mundane 7 and shares where he thinks the biggest growth opportunities in the Aussie share market reside: the ASX 200 outside the biggest 20 companies.
In this episode we also dive deep on two companies that Dion thinks exemplify the opportunities outside the Mundane 7 - CAR Group (CAR) and NextDC (NXT).
