Why is talking about money so important? We’ve been taught from an early age that we shouldn’t talk about money, but that taboo does much more harm than good. Talking openly about our finances helps remove the culture of fear and shame that can surround money. Talking about money might feel hard right now. But not talking about it long-term will be harder. In this episode Kate & Owen discuss the importance of money conversations, some strategies to approach them with kindness and highlight the point that not everyone will learn, value or talk about money the way you do - and that’s okay!

The great debate: are you a spender or a saver? This question gets thrown around quite often, and it’s easy to lump yourself into a specific camp without really thinking about the drivers behind your behaviour. Most of us have a bit of both in us, and we’d argue that’s a good thing. This episode is going to focus on those that find themselves on the spending side of the debate, and hopefully provide you with some strategies to bring a bit more balance to your financial life. In this episode, Kate & Owen unpack the four main reasons why we spend money, with the goal of learning to spend your money with more intention. TLDR: You’re going to spend money for many different reasons and that’s a big part of your financial life. But where you can, try to articulate why you are spending the money.

Does your company have a moat? Here at Rask, one of the key pillars in our investment philosophy is investing in companies with strong advantages or moats. A moat is a throw-back to the good ol’ days when castles (business franchises) needed a ring of water (competitive advantage) to protect them from the attack of enemy armies (competitors) who had heavy armour and weaponry. A moat is a feature of a business that enables it to generate excess returns on capital for a sustained period. Under the rules of capitalism, usually a competitor would enter the market and eat away at those returns. In this episode, Kate & Owen discuss what an investment moat is, share Morningstar’s 5 moats and companies that fall within each category, along with how to identify and stress test a company’s moat.
