Australian Investors Podcast

The recent AI boom has reignited enthusiasm for thematic ETFs and that's why I was so grateful to have Scott Helftstein the head of investment strategy at Global X, join me on his Australian tour for a deep dive on thematic ETFs. Scott has a wealth of knowledge in the space through his role at Global X and previously being the head of thematic portfolios at Morgan Stanley. In this conversation we cover: Scott's upbringing in Long Island and his introduction to business through his father We explore how he developed a career in thematic investing  How his team identify a theme that could be an enduring mega trend Walk through the life cycle of the trend Discuss how a thematic etf can adapt to include emerging companies in the future  Discuss why he thinks AI and uranium are two multi-decade themes still in their infancy  We also address the often mentioned performance of thematic ETFs vs passive traditional indices Before recording this interview I reached out to the Rask Community on our community page to ask them what questions they would ask. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share after listening come and join us over at the Rask Community, it's free to join.Episode Resources:What are thematic ETFs by Global XEntry points & burning buildingsMore from Scott HelfsteinETFs mentioned in this episode:ATOM Uranium ETFFANG+ ETFGXAI Artificial Intelligence ETFPAVE US Infrastructure Development ETF~~ Resources ~~Invest with Owen: https://bit.ly/R-investAccess Show Notes: https://bit.ly/R-notesMortgage Broking: https://bit.ly/broke-raskFinancial Planning: https://bit.ly/R-planProperty Coaching: https://bit.ly/R-P-coach100-point property checklist (PDF): https://bit.ly/prop-checkAccounting with Grey Space: http://bit.ly/3DG5lWSBusiness Coaching: https://bit.ly/o-coachAsk a question: https://bit.ly/3QtiY00DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains general financial information only.

Mitchell Sneddon, Rask Invest’s Head of Funds Management, sits down with Gaurav Sodhi, the Head of Research at Intelligent Investor. This is a conversation that dives deeper into a number of the topics we originally covered in Gaurav’s first podcast. We dig deeper into failure and talk about the feedback he’s received from one of his more painful investments. We talk about what he looks for when he’s looking for his next resource play, highlight a few “oddball” CEOs who go against the grain and try to discern between token stock ownership and genuine skin in the game when it comes to CEOs and board members.~~ Resources you'll love ~~Access Show Notes: https://bit.ly/R-notesInvest with Owen: https://bit.ly/R-investMortgage Broking: https://bit.ly/broke-raskFinancial Planning: https://bit.ly/R-planProperty Coaching: https://bit.ly/R-P-coach100-point property checklist (PDF): https://bit.ly/prop-checkAccounting with Grey Space: http://bit.ly/3DG5lWSBusiness Coaching: https://bit.ly/o-coachAsk a question: https://bit.ly/3QtiY00DISCLAIMER: This podcast contains general financial information only.
