The debate between active and passive investing is often reduced to fees and past performance. Disciplined, long-term value investors look deeper.

In this episode, Andrew Coleman and Sanjee Narendran unpack the real differences between active and passive investing — including how index funds, ETFs, and high-conviction active strategies behave across market cycles.

Rather than promoting one approach blindly, this discussion focuses on how investors should think about compounding, risk, incentives, and their own capabilities when deciding between active and passive strategies. The goal isn’t to follow industry narratives, but to make informed, disciplined decisions that support long-term wealth building.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• How passive investing, index funds, and ETFs actually work 
• What defines true active investing 
• Understanding fees, compounding, and industry statistics 
• Common myths and selective marketing used in the active vs passive debate 
• How disciplined investors assess risk, volatility, and manager quality
• Practical frameworks for choosing the right approach for your goals 

Key topics covered:

Value investing • Disciplined investing • Long-term investing • Active vs passive • Index funds & ETFs • Compounding • Fund selection • Investor mindset

Diversification is often described as the cornerstone of risk management — but taken too far, it can quietly undermine long-term investment returns.

In this episode, we examine the concept of "diworsification" and why disciplined value investors think differently about portfolio construction. This discussion focuses on downside risk, conviction, and understanding what you own. Drawing on real-world experience and insights from Warren Buffett, the episode explains why excessive diversification can dilute insight, mask risk, and cap upside — especially for long-term investors who do their work.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• The difference between healthy diversification and “diworsification” 
• Why owning too many investments can increase risk, not reduce it 
• How academic definitions of risk differ from real-world investor experience 
• Why understanding your businesses matters more than portfolio size 
• How disciplined value investors think about conviction and focus 
• Practical ways to build a portfolio aligned with your circle of competence 

Key topics covered:

Value investing • Disciplined investing • Long-term investing • Diversification • Portfolio construction • Risk management • Conviction investing • Investor behaviour

Key Quotes: 

• “With too many assets, you limit the benefit of getting any one right.” 
• “Diversification is protection against ignorance. If you know what you’re doing, diversification doesn’t make much sense.” — Warren Buffett 
• “Risk only matters on the downside—as an investor, not as an academic.”

Long-term investing success is driven as much by what you avoid as what you own.

In this episode, we explain how disciplined value investors identify businesses that can compound wealth over time (Wealth Winners®) and just as importantly, recognise the warning signs of companies that quietly destroy capital (Capital Killers™).

Learn how Teaminvest members use a structured framework that blends quantitative and qualitative analysis to separate durable, high-quality businesses from those driven by hype, weak economics, or poor management. We walk through real-world examples from ASX-listed companies that illustrate how small differences in business quality, incentives, and stability can lead to dramatically different long-term outcomes.

Rather than chasing excitement, we focus on fundamentals, patience, and downside protection — because avoiding Capital Killers™ is often the fastest way to improve long-term results.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

• How disciplined investors define true long-term wealth creation 
• Why capital destruction is often hidden behind growth narratives 
• The seven criteria Teaminvest uses to assess stocks 
• The importance of management quality, business moats, and stability
• Why hype and cyclicality are common sources of investor mistakes 
• Practical ways to apply a disciplined framework to your own portfolio 

Companies dicussed:

• Wealth Winners®: ResMed, ProMedicus, TechnologyOne, JB Hi-Fi
• Capital Killers™: Lendlease, Iluka Resources, Telstra, IDP Education

Key Quotes:

• “Wealth winners are boring companies that do something really cool, really smart—but they do it well and niche, year after year.”
• “Capital killers are almost always caught up in hype. Peel off the paint, and you realise it’s not a unicorn, it’s just a horse.”

Key topics covered:

Wealth Winners® • Capital Killers™ • Value investing • Disciplined investing • Long-term investing • Business quality • Capital allocation • Management assessment • Risk avoidance • Compounding wealth

In this episode, we're unpacking a topic that sits at the heart of long term business success. The difference between a partner mentality and an owner or founder mentality.

You'll hear a thoughtful discussion about why the mindset of a company's leadership, whether they see shareholders as true partners or simply as investors, can make all the difference to a business's growth, resilience and culture. We'll explore what it really means for management to act as partners. How this approach contrasts with the classic founder driven style, and why finding the right balance is crucial for sustainable value creation. 

Drawing on well-known case studies and real world examples, we'll also look at the risks and rewards of both mentalities and offer practical insights for investors who want to spot the businesses most likely to thrive over the long term.

In this bonus episode of the Wealth Builders Podcast, Andrew Coleman explains why business moats matter to disciplined, long-term investors — and how sustainable competitive advantages help protect returns across market cycles.

A moat is anything that allows a company to remain a price maker, fend off competitors, and continue delivering a sustainable competitive advantage. This short episode explores what makes real business moats, why they matter, and how investors can identify businesses with the durability required for long-term wealth creation.

Rather than chasing short-term growth or market excitement, disciplined value investors focus on businesses with structural advantages that stand the test of time.
