We love it when a young INVSTR encourages people to save and invest. And our guest, Sven Meyer, is all about that at only 19 years of age at the time of recording.

In the spirit of keeping things young and fresh, Sven and our host play a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ to kick-off the chat, highlighting a few of the early lessons our guest has learned in his own investment journey.

From goal-based investing to giving insight into how he learned to navigate finance jargon, as well as the 4% Rule he learned, this episode is chockfull of gems. Sven also tells us about the mistakes he had made in his own approach, which everyone can learn from.

He also gives a shoutout to veterans in the finance space, Simon Brown and Sam Beckbessinger, whom he learned heavily from when starting his journey.

Give this episode a listen to find out why Sven is a big fan of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which are an investment product that you can find out all about in this episode with Nerina Visser here. We take a sneak peek into Sven’s own portfolio as he tells us about the shares and products he himself has invested in, and which ones are performing well and which aren’t.
