22 min - Make it Stack #10 - Why holding cash is trash in 2021?
Welcome to "Make it Stack" with Will Waterhouse, the podcast designed to demystify the world of saving and investing for young people.
In this episode, I talk about holding cash vs. stocks. How have they performed over the last few decades and when should you consider increasing/decreasing your allocation to each asset class?
Topics discussed: Have have stocks and cash performed over the long term? Is tide turning against cash? How much cash should you hold?
Key takeaways:
- Over the long run, stocks have massively outperformed cash as a means of saving.
- Cash has become significantly less attractive as a method of long term saving post global financial crisis. The trend will likely continue given the expansionary monetary policy to combat COVID-19.
- The longer your investment time horizon, the greater your chances of success in the stock market
- As a general rule of thumb, individuals should have a rainy day fund which covers 6 months' expenses. If you are looking to make a large purchase in the near future you should increase your cash weighting to mitigate downside risk.
- Don't sit on significant excess cash. The consequences of doing this could burn a hole in your wallet after inflation

15 min - Make it Stack #9 - Understanding your Defined Contribution Pension
Welcome to Make it Stack with Will Waterhouse, the podcast designed to demystify the world of saving and investing for young people. In this episode, I talk about Defined Contribution Pensions.
Topics discussed: Introduction to DC pension, default strategies, pension consolidation and my personal pension arrangements.
Key takeaways:
- Your Defined Contribution (“DC”) pension builds up using your monthly contributions along with your employer’s.
- Contributions are invested into a diversified portfolio which may consist of shares, bonds and alternative investments.
- Your pension pot is subject to investment risk – this will decrease as you approach retirement automatically (unless you opt to choose your own investments).
- Taking too little investment risk can compromise your final pension value.
