Izzy is the co-founder of Henry Advisory, a newly launched advice firm focused on “High Earners, Not Rich Yet” (HENRYs). He and James discuss why he left a high-performing career advising ultra-high-net-worth clients to build a business serving ambitious professionals, the psychology of feeling “rich”, and his mission to provide values-driven, lifestyle-focused advice in a market crowded by property spruikers and sales-driven models.

As elevated valuations and index concentration challenge traditional portfolios, Daniel Kelly is joined by Chris Hestelow (Allan Gray) to explore the firm’s contrarian, long-term investment philosophy. They unpack a high-conviction process built on deep fundamental research, independent review, and clear portfolio manager accountability - designed to prioritise alpha over index-hugging. They highlight recent outperformance from out-of-favour holdings rather than mega-cap leaders, and how advisers can pair truly active strategies with passive allocations for genuine diversification. With a focus on absolute risk and building resilient portfolios over macro predictions, this episode offers practical insight for navigating uncertain markets.
