Get Started Investing

Investing in your local economy is ok ... However, the opportunity to invest globally means that we can diversify and have access to some of the biggest companies on this spinning planet. We do have to build the skills, but we also do have to 'fill out the forms' to ensure we abide by the laws and treaties of different countries, but also avoid paying too much tax unnecessarily.

Bryce and Alec explain the simplicity of how to complete a W-8BEN-E form which simply ensures you won't be taxed twice should you decide to invest offshore.

Here at Get Started Investing, we wanna get better every year. So each year we have our Community Survey. It's a way for us to better understand who you are, and what content you'd like us to create more of across all our podcast channels to help you on your investing journey. It takes about 15 minutes to complete, and as an incentive for completing the Community Survey, you'll go in the draw to win $500 bucks! For terms and conditions click here
