Welcome to the final instalment of the three-part Australian Investors Podcast mini-series on ethical investing in Australia, sponsored by Australian Ethical. I'm joined again by Mike Murray, Australian Ethical's Head of Domestic equities. In Part One of this series, I spoke with Dr Stuart Palmer about how Australian Ethical use their Charter to exclude about half of the companies on the ASX from the team's universe of investment ideas. In Part 2, Mike walked us through how he and the analyst team research companies and identify long-term compounders like Cochlear (ASX: COH) or Fisher & Paykal (ASX: FPH). You can go back to Parts One and Two by using the links in your podcast player. While you're there, don't forget to subscribe to The Australian Investors Podcast and, if you're really keen to help me out, leaving me an honest review. In this episode, the final part of our mini-series on ethical investing, Mike outlines his thesis for three Australian companies that are, at the time of recording, owned by the Australian Ethical High Conviction ETF. These companies are Healius Ltd (ASX: HLS), a laboratory testing and medical business formerly known as Primary Health Care; Pexa Ltd (ASX: PXA), which is by far Australia's most dominant property settlement and exchange platform; Downer Ltd (ASX: DOW), an industrials business working across many industries. As you'll hear from Mike, these companies have some wrinkles. But Mike does a great job of laying out his thesis. Watch the video version on the Rask Australia YouTube page.

In this episode of The Australian Investors Podcast analyst Owen Rask and Wattle Partners financial adviser Drew Meredith, CFP discuss how to analyse a fund manager. Using Drew's experience as a financial adviser and Owen's experience interviewing fund managers and time spent being a fund analyst, the duo breaks down what it takes to analyse a fund manager before investing. SHOW NOTES: https://www.raskmedia.com.au/2022/02/02/how-to-analyse-any-fund-manager/ When you subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or Castbox you’ll get weekly insights on ASX & global shares, funds, ETFs and more. Let Owen be your field guide to investing profitably for decades to come. ~~~ Show notes ~~~ In this episode, Owen and Drew cover: Is active funds management worth it, why? How do you measure the effectiveness of a fund? Tracking error is good for passive funds. For example, if a fund or ETF tracks the ASX 200 (ASX: XJO) the tracking error would tell you ‘how well has the fund followed the ASX 200’. For an active fund manager, the active share metric measures ‘how different is the fund’s positions compared to the index’? Obviously, for active fund managers it’s important they are more active and less passive (i.e. less closely matching the index). Low downside capture, higher upside capture. ‘Capture’ refers to how the return of a fund matches the return of the market. For example, if a fund returned 10% when the market went up 20%, the upside capture would be 50% (or 0.5). If the market fell 20% but the fund returned 1% (positive), its downside capture would be very low. Meaning, it doesn’t ‘follow’ the market down — which is a good thing. Correlation. Correlation measures how two investments behave around each other. For example, if there is a correlation of +1.0 between an Australian shares fund and your portfolio, we would say it does not have any risk benefits for the portfolio (because they’re both positively and perfectly correlated — meaning they move in the same direction at the same time). Gold prices can have a low or negative correlation to shares/equities, meaning they can move in opposite directions — so it could help lower the impact of a stock market crash. Sector diversification. Basically, how well are you diversified and how well is the fund or ETF diversified? “Style drift” and understanding why your fund manager has changed their strategy or focus. Do they do what they say and has that changed? Are some parts of a portfolio better reserved for active funds management? This really depends on the underlying index, as that is essentially what you are getting. Fixed income, in this environment, should be active, but if interest rates were at 7 per cent, I — Drew — would be passive all the way. For US equities the S&P 500 is 30 per cent invested in just five companies, so a combination of active and passive is likely warranted, just to gain real diversification into more parts of the market. When you study fund managers, Drew, is it top-down or bottom-up? Usually, we are looking at fund managers for a purpose, so it’s ‘top down’ (e.g. ‘we need some Australian shares for this client’) We think about it in terms of factor exposure, meaning how is the portfolio exposed value, income, size, and momentum (the four quantitative factors). Then, which factors are likely to perform better during the current market and what are we missing? We then go through the due diligence, getting a universe of options, before considering.

In this episode of The Australian Investors Podcast analyst Owen Rask and Wattle Partners financial adviser Drew Meredith, CFP walk you through what it takes to build an inflation-resistant portfolio. In this episode, Owen puts some hard questions to Drew about how he manages diversified portfolios for clients at Wattle Partners. The list of questions and talking points include: How are you dealing with inflation in client portfolios? How has your portfolio positioning changed between 2021 and 2022? Do you get worried by sell-offs, and how do you prepare for that? Instead of bonds, what are three things in your "defensive alternatives" bucket right now? With inflation rising, how can investors get protection? See below. Here are Drew's notes on his answer to question number-five: There is no perfect protection The threat is you put too much capital into one outcome and miss out on the alternatives Rules remain pretty simple Avoid junk, small, micro, non-profitable companies Stick with capital Remain diversified into multiple asset classes Have some hedges like Gold, silver Inflation-linked bonds Floating rate securities For shares: Buy cheaper, but quality companies Invest in companies exposed to key themes that are still occurring, regardless of inflation Get in touch with Owen or Drew: Owen's Twitter - say g'day!

What Peter & Owen talked about You told me that one year you had ~$50 million annual trading volume via CommSec but had just ~$200k balance every night. What type of investing/trading were you doing? Did it work? How much brokerage did you rack up on CommSec? Going back a bit, why did you get into law? In particular, criminal law? What did you specialise in? Why was investing so appealing? Were you investing on the side? How did you convince your other half? Given your diverse background, do you study or follow people in the finance industry? (specifically spivs) Related: has doing 1,000 interviews as a lawyer changed the way you judge people? What skills could investors leverage to better analyse management? What are some red, amber or green flags you look for? When have these worked for or against you? Peter walks us through the fascinating story of Indonesian Apple reseller, Story-I Ltd (ASX: SRY). You started with 300 Capital. What was this and why did you take on friends' money? In 2021 you transitioned to Westferry. Why did you bother to get an AFSL and go down that path? Can you describe why you invest? Specifically, how would you describe your investment philosophy and reason for investing the way you do? Are you a fundamental investor? Do you invest long-term? etc. How do you source new ideas? Stock stories: Australian Family Lawyers (AFL) has been a consistent holding for you, and it's interesting given your background. Are legal businesses really good businesses? Why is that different to Shine (ASX: SHJ) or Slater & Gordon (ASX: SGH)? What key metrics do you track? Pacific Turbine Brisbane (ASX: PTB) is another large holding you've had for some time. Can you dive into the thesis and journey of this company through your research process? Final question: if you could go back and tell a younger Peter one thing about investing, what would it be?

Live on The Australian Investors Podcast this week, your weekly hosts Owen Rask & 7Investing's Dr Anirban Mahanti talk Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new car and Altium's (ASX: ALU) AGM update. At the beginning of the show, Anirban & Owen also share some of their tips for using a stock-picking checklist. Here's a sneak peek at Owen's checklist: Is the business Founder or family-run (ARB, Reece, Okta, PWR, etc. the list of great returning founder-led and family-led businesses goes on.) HR review ratings (my former employer is the Motley Fool, which champions culture, and it was/is obvious this was a core competitive advantage. Use Glassdoor (US) or Seek (Aussie) for reviews.) History of execution (Apple - it's buying back stock, executing, there's not ballooning shares on issue, margins are stable while revenue is growing. Capital position is also a reflection of the practices of former (or current) management.) Growing TAM & rising through an "S-Curve" (The Trade Desk is a good one. Finding these companies means faster-growing revenue in absolute terms, and no need for acquisitions, etc.) Does the business have pricing power? (Xero is a good example. This can be intangibles, customer acquisition, etc.) Talking points (approx timing): @15:00 - Checklist investing @38:00 - Altium's AGM @46:00 - China's slowdown - what does it mean for Australian investors? @52:00 - An EV bubble and Apple's autonomous car Join in the LIVE ASX share investing conversation on YouTube, directly with Owen Rask & Anirban Mahanti, to learn more about investing.

Drew Meredith and Jamie Nemtsas, certified financial planners from Wattle Partners, join Owen Rask on The Australian Investors Podcast to walk us through how they would manage the $2.3 million retirement portfolio of a fictitious couple, Fiona and Craig. This episode is filled with great insights around portfolio construction, investment planning, investment property, retirement strategy, risk profiling, lifestyle goal setting, investment returns and more. The hypothetical couple: Craig & Fiona The fictitious couple Jamie and Drew are working with are: Craig (62). Earning $125,000 per year as an mechanical engineer, PAYG. Super: Craig has $850,000 in super, currently maximising his SG. He has a balanced strategy and pays $5,500 in insurance inside super. Super has returned 6.6% over the past 10 years. Fiona (55). A Business Development Manager for a technology company, earning $110,000, plus $10,000 in bonuses, PAYG. Super: She has $670,000 in super. She has a balanced strategy and pays $3,500 in insurance inside super. Super has returned 5.4% over the past 10 years. Their current situation: They have $100,000 left on their mortgage and the house is worth $880,000. Have two adult-age children, who are self-sufficient. Both believe they are high-risk investors, but Craig is more conservative and keen to replace his income with defensive positions (as much as possible). Fees on their super funds are estimated at 1.2% per year. They have $450,000 in managed funds and shares. They have $300,000 in cash. They estimate they need $80,000 to live comfortably. Craig's super insurance covers him for $190,000 (life & TPD) and his income protection is only $4,000 per month. Fiona's super insurance covers her for $260,000 (life & TPD) and her income protection is only $3,000 per month. Craig & Fiona's goals: Both of them and want to get advice on these things (specifically): plan to retire in 3-5 years They want to be debt-free before retirement. Should they use their cash for this? Craig is thinking of buying an investment property for yield, just before retirement. Need to build an investment portfolio capable of helping them live sustainably, but don't know if their super fees and strategy are right. Want to have cash to feel secure, so they want to maintain a decent buffer. They'd rather be 'hands off' investors and leave it to the experts (funds, ETFs, etc.). Don't need to leave anything to the kids. Here are the questions Drew & Jamie need to answer How does the financial planning process work at Wattle Partners? When you meet with Fiona & Craig, what are 3-5 questions you would ask first? Insurance: What are some factors Craig & Fiona need to consider? (assume they have no material prior medical conditions) Should they drop their insurance? Investment property: Is Craig ok to think of residential property as a source of good yield? What would be an alternative? Investing:What goes into a risk profile? (generally) What are some simple super strategies they could consider to boost their balance? (co-contribution, super guarantee limits, NCCs, etc.) Should they put their super on a platform or go with an SMSF? Should they build a portfolio outside super? ETFs or funds?

In this Australian Investors Podcast episode Owen talks with Rob McGavin, co-founder and Chairman of Cobram Estate Olives Ltd (ASX: CBO), Australia’s largest producer of olive oil and one of the world’s leading producers. You can watch this podcast on Rask’s YouTube Channel. Rob’s story is littered with examples that remind me to think and invest smarter. To persevere. And to focus on quality. After growing up on a farm and working in remote parts of Australia, Rob quickly transitioned to entrepreneurism, starting a vineyard, and later partnering with Paul to create what is now Australia’s biggest olive oil producer, Cobram Estate Olives. It also owns the popular Red Island brand in supermarkets. The company has fused a focus on science, education and culture to create an organisation that creates meaningful products that genuinely want to help people live happier and healthier lives. In this podcast we talk about Rob’s lessons learned from his father, almost going bust (a few times), building a team, agriculture & culture, the fluid industry dynamics for big olive oil producers, Europe versus Australia, and — perhaps most importantly — how to tell if you’re consuming the good stuff. One memorable quote, which came from Rob’s father, is “there's only one way to go broke - spend more than you earn.” To start, here’s Rob telling us how you can tell if you’re drinking great quality oil olive… Learn more about your ad choices.
