Join our conversation with Bruce Whitfield, author, speaker, radio host at 702 and Cape Talk.

We get personal with Bruce by picking the award-winning finance journalist’s brain to understand his relationship with investing as well as how his upbringing informed his career.

Bruce takes us through his method of cutting through the noise, the resources he uses in staying up to date with the news, and he introduces us to his latest book – Genius: How To Take Smart Ideas Global.

In a time when EasyEquities proceeds with its plans to grow the brand internationally, we wanted to get Bruce in studio to give entrepreneurs, investors an understanding behind expansive businesses.

If you didn’t know by now then here’s a declaration: EasyEquities is levelling up its operations to spread investment democratisation.

This is why we’ve invited Purple Group and EasyEquities’ new Chief Risk Officer, Nicola Comninos, to the studio for a fireside chat with us.

Nicola joined Team purple after 15 years at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), and gives us a new dimension through which to understand what ‘risk’ means (hint: it’s about both opportunities and threats).

She highlights how she has come to appreciate Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), running a womens’ empowerment investment club, and her view on Cryptocurrencies.

Tune into this episode to understand EasyEquities’ transition from being a startup to a scaled up international force making democratised investing a global movement.

Tune into this episode to hear Purple Group's new Chief Operating Officer (COO), Rish Tandapany, as he outlines the company’s expansion into Asia.

Rish underlines the reason why property is a big investment class in the Asian continent, tapping into cultural gears to unlock the continent’s appetite in investing, the trend of sustainable investing and a whole lot more.

Listen to this episode to get gems from the well-travelled new addition to the Purple Group team as he outlines his plan to conquer the Asia market under the Easy banner.

We start this episode with Rish’s poor personal tastes in football before ending on his personal experiences in finances (the good, the bad, the ugly).

Feeling a bit lazy about digging into the stock markets but you know that you want to invest?
You’re not alone at all.

Allow us to introduce Thando Ndlovu to you. She is a financial freedom content creator based in Bali, Indonesia with aspirations to inspire communities and individuals alike.

The international traveller takes us on a personal journey about her own experiences with investing as she kickstarted her own with a R50 voucher from EasyEquities and never looked back. We talk about how she’s following principles taking through the F.I.R.E (Financially Independent, Retired Early) route and growing her own financially-savvy community.

But what does it mean to have a lazy investment strategy? Hit the play button for insights about what this exactly means. Trust us, it’s not what it sounds like, and is a legit principle built on the foundation of diversification.

And if you like diversification like Thando does, make sure to check out exchange traded funds (ETFs) on EasyEquities, which can give your portfolio a taste of everything.

Chill out and start investing today.

‘Even if you start small, just start.’ Great tip from Moe-Knows to our community.

Most know the Canada-based investment consultant and co-founder of Magic Markets as Moe Knows, but he also goes by Mohammed Nalla. He joined us for this episode to chat about taking a more cautious approach to investing (his personal style), and how his first ever purchase in the markets was a Unit Trust.

This episode is all about experimenting and strategising your own investment approach, as well as building research technique that suits your own objectives. We also take a peek into Moe’s own pot as he breaks down some of the choices he has made with his portfolio.

Check out this episode by pressing play as we kick-off the insights with a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ (this time without the drinks and more stories about the stock markets).

Millennials and Gen Z’ers are looking to take global warming and socioeconomic challenges head on by making ESG an essential factor in the way businesses, markets, and economies are run.

So, what is ESG?

These three letters stand for (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial, (G)overnance and they represent the non-financial factors that investors and market watchers consider when evaluating a business’ ethical and social practices.

To expand on this framework, and to breakdown why ESG is so important to the new age investor, is Colletta Simungu – an ESG consultant.

Colletta shines a light on the bigger picture as it relates to ESG and conscious living, the role these play in the wider corporate ecosystem on a global scale, and how investors can identify these three factors when putting a company under the microscope.

As sustainability and social change gain global momentum, we want to understand how ESG affects businesses and why corporations are marching to the beat of the next generation’s drums.

Something crazy happened in this episode: young people actually dropped some knowledge on us for this Youth Day special on investing. Youngsters are evolving and we love it!

We’d like to introduce 19-year-old twins, Connor and Justin Stubbs, who are owning the markets while also educating their peers on investing and finance.

The twins highlight how they navigated around the complicated jargon and terminology that is saturated in the finance industry, as well as sharing some of their personal lows and highs as investors with a particular love for crypto.

We also get into the minds of teenagers to understand their personal strategies and investment goals. Their long-term goals shine a light on why they’re keeping their eyes on Berkshire-Hathaway and Compass Pathways. Listen to this episode to check out their insights on these shares and more!

If you’re a minor or know of any minors that would love to invest, make sure to head on over to this page to be like Warren Buffett and the Stubbs twins by investing early. The kids will be alright.

Youth Month isn’t a time of the year that is typically associated with gift-giving. But, we’re going to make the case for it being a time to think about one of the best types of presents any parent/guardian can give their child.

Investing for your children and setting them up for a shot at financial freedom starts with the simple step of opening an account in their name. Thereafter, everything is in your hands as a guardian.

That is why we brought Veronique, aka ‘V’, from the Easy HQ to talk to us about how to open up a Minor Account on the EasyEquities platform.

Listen to this episode for a guide on how to get started. We cover the application process which includes attaching the necessary documents to send to the EasyEquities admin team. We’ve got the entire process covered in this episode, as well as the tips and tricks to get around some of the tricky bits that involve minors’ financial admin.

If you’d like to get started, make sure to check out this page to kickstart your youngsters’ accounts.

Tune into the second part of our conversation with Nilan Morar, VP of Trading at EasyEquities and Easy’s sister company GT247. We pick up the conversation from busting six misconceptions that tend to be pervasive when it comes to trading and investing.

We were curious to get the thoughts of a stock market legend on what he thinks about savings and what you need to think about in terms of trading.

Get insights on how Nilan gets his own kids to understand the importance of saving and investing, to why it’s essential to ‘just start’ your own journey in financial independence, and why exchange traded funds (ETFs) are a great place to start investing.

Whether you want to trade, make sure to check out GT247, and if you are an investor at heart then you know what to do by heading on over to EasyEquities.
