The Savings Tip Jar

42: Where and how to invest in this economic climate, with Brooke Roberts, Sharesies co-founder & co-CEO


Listen Later

While Dom is away, Haz, Em, and Brooke will play. After discussing the news, we have a special 'Brooke-Squared' super-set! I'm seeing double here! Four Brookes?!

First up we have Brooke Cooper, Savings.com.au finance journalist to talk us through what 'shrinkflation' means. Looked at your Oreos, chips or Tim Tams lately and felt they're a bit light on? Yeah, now that phenomena has a name.

Then we're joined by Brooke Roberts, the co-founder and co-CEO of Sharesies. Ms Roberts is our very first international guest, dialling in from New Zealand. She's here to talk us through what the platform offers, and how and where its users are investing right now. You might be feeling inspired from the film Dumb Money, but that strategy is generally fraught with risk.

As always, shop around, compare your fees and consult the PDS.
