In this episode of Money Made Simple, Liv is joined by founder and managing director of Simplicity Sam Stubbs to explain exactly how Simplicity Living (the build-to-rent company which Simplicity funds own) works. Sam, who is also on the board of Simplicity Living, provides a useful overview of exactly how the investments work, and importantly why he thinks this type of investment will be SO good for our members in terms of long-term returns.

This episode covers:

• How Sam came to start Simplicity (as well as Simplicity Living and the other investments that make us unique)
• A brief, behind-the-scenes simple explainer on how Simplicity funds invest in Simplicity Living
• How Simplicity Living makes profits and how these flow through to Simplicity members 
• Sam's view on the competitive advantages that these investments bring
• If, why and how we've moved away from 100% "passive investing" - and our plans for the future around this
• The ambitions around Simplicity Living and the impact it could have for the NZ housing market

Our aim for this episode is to arm you with a much better understanding of the nuts and bolts around how and why we've decided to invest via Simplicity Living. We hope that by listening, you'll get a good idea of the impacts on you as a member  - and the social good that we're trying to achieve as a secondary objective!
