With rising interest rates, everyone is feeling the pain. No matter what sector investors are in - consumer, retail, tech, property - it feels like there is nowhere to hide. In this episode, Simon Shields, Director and co-founder of Monash Investors, joins Rory to delve into the world of small cap Australian shares. First they define small caps and the typical profile of the companies on the ASX that are part of that sector. Then they review some common misconceptions, and explore the benefits and challenges of investing in small caps.

Even though the sector has underperformed over the last 12 months, Simon explains that considering a longer term horizon and aware of the past cycles, it seems to be a good time to invest in this sector. He shares his outlook for small caps, explains how Monash is positioning their portfolio and presents a case study on two of their most successful stocks.

Diversification is an investor's best defense against market volatility. No one can predict how markets will perform so investors should focus on the things they can control such as ensuring portfolio diversification and their ability to save and contribute to their portfolio. Having a long-time horizon, staying true to a set investment strategy and tuning out the market noise are very important in the current market conditions.

In this episode Jacinta Schlosser is joined by Balaji Gopal, Head of Financial Adviser Services at Vanguard Australia, to review the 60/40 portfolio strategy and how diversification can help investors weather market volatility. They also delve into the principles of portfolio construction and the value of advice.
