In this first episode of the Emerging Wealth Winners Series, produced in partnership with Ausbiz, we explore two ASX‑listed businesses that combine resilient earnings, disciplined risk management and long runways for growth: Solvar Group (ASX:SVR) and Mader Group (ASX:MAD).

Hosted by Kylie Merritt from Ausbiz as part of the Emerging Wealth Winners Conference, with commentary from TIP Groups CEO ,Andrew Coleman, this episode dives into:

• How Solvar has built a scalable, niche position in secured automotive finance for underserved Australians with non‑prime credit histories
• What Solvar learned from its multi‑year regulatory battle with ASIC, and how it has strengthened its governance, credit risk and First Nations training
• How Solvar is using AI to analyse call recordings, identify hardship, improve training and lower its OPEX ratio
• Why tighter private credit markets can actually favour Solvar’s equity‑funded balance sheet and drive consolidation opportunities

Then we shift gears to Mader Group, a global heavy equipment maintenance specialist that started from the back of a ute and now operates across Australia, North America and multiple industries:

• How Mader’s people‑first culture, “Three Gears” program and Global Pathways create a powerful moat in blue‑collar talent
• Why half of Mader’s Canadian workforce is Australian, and how internal training turns technicians into financially literate business leaders
• The strategic logic behind Mader’s expansion into North America, rail, infrastructure maintenance, oil and gas and other new verticals
• How Mader manages execution risk, sets margin hurdles for new geographies and maintains industry‑leading safety systems
• Why Teaminvest sees both Solvar and Mader as potential “emerging wealth winners” with attractive PE multiples and strong compounding potential

Whether you’re a long‑term investor, a Teaminvest member or simply curious about how smaller companies create durable competitive advantages, this episode offers a practical look at scalable business models, risk management and culture‑driven growth.
