  • Season 2 Episode 17 - Where are people learning about investing in today's world?

    In today's show, we look at where people are consuming information about investing in today's world.

    The ASX released a very informative report this week and some of the findings may astonish you if you are running an advice business.

    Unless you are starting to offer a way to engage these investors ( and they are not all young) with digital tools like video and the ability to research at their own speed and in their own time, you may miss out on and become irrelevant...sooner than you think!


    So listen in and find out how to build these services into your proposition.

  • Season 2 Episode 15 - Interview with Nathan Krieger - Co Head of Client Group Dimensional Fund Advisers

    In today's show, we interview Nathan Krieger the co-head of client group Australia for Dimensional Fund Advisers.


    Dimensional is one of the largest and I believe most interesting fund managers in the world. Having started in 1981 they now have over $900bn under advice and offices all around the world.

    They have a strong belief in research and bringing these ideas to you and implementing them in a very efficient and robust manner. What I have found just as interesting as their long-term performance is their business model and how they have stayed true to their values and beliefs over a very long period. They are passionate about getting the best outcomes from capital markets for the end investor.


    I'm sure you will enjoy this episode. More information on Dimensional can be found at Dimensional.com.au
