Episode notes
Act On Rate Cuts Intentionally
- Check whether your bank passes an RBA rate cut to your loan and act quickly if it doesn't.
- If the repayment stays the same, direct extra savings to your offset or principal intentionally.
Rate Cuts Can Be Bullish For Stocks
- Falling interest rates often boost stock markets by freeing consumer cash and improving investor confidence.
- Savers lose out but long-term investing becomes relatively more attractive.
New ETF Competition Widens Choices
- Two new ETFs launched: GlobalX A300 (VAS-like) and BetaShares HYLD (VHY-like).
- New entrants increase competition and choices for index and dividend ETF investors.
