Looking for sound financial advice but worried about the cost? You’re not alone. Only about 10% of Australians receive advice. So we’re starting a new series called: Equity Mates Ask the Adviser, a series of episodes featuring some of Australia's top advisers. You'll have the opportunity to ask them anything, and we'll cover a range of topics beyond investing. Kicking off the series is Charlie Viola, partner and managing director of Wealth at Pitcher Partners in Sydney. With $2.2 billion in funds under management, Charlie advises high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals and has been recognised as one of the top advisers in Australia by Barrons.In this episode, Charlie shares his insights on the key principles of portfolio construction. Diversification and asset quality are crucial, he advises. Don't put all your eggs in one basket! Instead, choose high-quality assets and invest regularly. But he shares his thoughts on what to do if you’ve got a small amount to invest, and are aspiring to be one of his clients. Ren and Bryce also dive deeper with Charlie on topics such as constructing portfolios in a high inflation, high interest rate environment, savings accounts, types of assets, frequency of cash deployment, and when to keep cash on the side.This was a great opportunity for Equity Mates to learn from one of the best in the business.

This episode, we welcome back the Equity Mates Portfolio. First up, we want to remind you that the stocks we discuss are hypothetical and not buy, hold, or sell recommendations. However, if you have a stock that you want us to cover, don't hesitate to reach out to us! Bryce's contenders are complete speccy stock Latin Resources (ASX:LRS), Flutter (LON: FLTR), and Shiseido (SSDOY). Alec is looking and thinking about REA Group, (ASX:REA), Audinate (ASX:AD8), Pro Medicus (ASX:PME), and Xero (ASX:XRO).But today, Bryce is pitching Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB). According to Bryce's notes, recently Airbnb posted an annual profit for the first time ever, resulting in a 10% increase in the stock price, the biggest one-day gain. The company is forecasting a sunny outlook for travel in 2023, which is in contrast to the doom and gloom predicted by many. Additionally, Airbnb is "hiring at a judicious pace," which is a good sign for investors. The company earned $1.9 billion in 2022, compared to a $352 million loss the previous year, thanks to strong demand for travel as people start to venture out again.Then Bryce and Alec move to a new segment called "Uncovered," where they explore companies that don't receive much analyst or media coverage. Today, we're taking a closer look at Rare Foods Australia (ASX:RFA) and Unith (ASX: UNT). Both of these companies have unique stories.The Rask + Equity Mates collaboration is a match made in heaven.
