Published August 2024. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap China A Inclusion Index (net divs.) AUD. An index comprising emerging markets across large, medium and small companies. 

Some people would know Vanguard's VGE as an ETF that attempts to track the return of this index before fees, expenses and tax, which are an important consideration as investors may not achieve a return as close to the index as they'd like due to fees and taxes.

Published August 2024. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at a common misconception that your financial adviser needs to be rich. It's a nice idea, but it's ultimately meaningless to your own wealth journey when they may be part of a team, and having someone younger who hasn't built a lot of wealth yet could be more beneficial to guide you in the decades to come.

Published July 2024.In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the S&P 500 Index going back to 1926.

Some people would know the ETFs that seek to track the performance of this index as Blackrock's IVV, Vanguard's VOO and State Street's SPY. It's a popular index with many investors around the world, but not everyone has long term picture of the data, and what goes into that double digit return over nearly 100 years.

Published July 2024. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at hedging via the historic performance of the MSCI World ex Australia Index (net div., Hedged to AUD) and we combined it in a 50/50 split with the unhedged version of the index.

Some people would know the combination of the ETFs that seek to track the performance of these indices as the VGAD and VAS, so it's an interesting look back to see the effect currency can have on investment returns.

We go back to the inception of the portfolio in 1988 to look at the ups and downs along the way. If you're looking for long term investment strategies using these indices may be of value to you.

Published July 2024. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we look at a question from a concerned family member. A son-in-law has taken a look at his mother-in-law's portfolio and is shocked by the fees she's paying.

His mother-in-law isn't bothered, his wife doesn't care as long as the portfolio continues to cover her mother's needs, but the son-in-law has itchy fingers and thinks he could cut the fees and help out.

While this is a noble idea, it also presents several risks, but none of them financial. We look at the impact of fees on the portfolio, and then look at the potential issues if the son-in-law tries to take over.

First published June 2024. In this episode of "What's the Risk?" we take a look at the historic performance of the MSCI World ex Australia Index (net div., AUD) combined with the S&P/ASX 300 Index (Total Return).

Some people would know the combination of the ETFs that seeks to track the performance of these indices as the VAS/VGS split, so it's an interesting look back through the 80's, 90's and 2000's before Vanguard's ETF's were in existence.

So we go back to the inception of the portfolio in 1980 to look at the ups and downs along the way. If you're looking for long term investment strategies using these indices may be of value to you.
