  • Sycophant

    In general I’ve enjoyed the pod over the years. Solid general financial information and interesting investment concepts.

    The latest episode with Andrew Bragg was just disappointing. It was totally politically motivated and one could even say partisan propagandist.

    It was like listening to a giddy school child interview their idol.

    Totally contrary to the way it was set up in the introduction.

    I listen for factual general investment information, and this pod was genuinely anything but tha... more

    The episode you referenced at the beginning of every episode I no longer there I am using Apple Podcasts on the number of episodes is always 399. It seems every time you post a new episode the oldest one disappears. It would be nice if the settings were changed to access the old episode. I don’t know whether you’re aware of this.

  • Great show, poor editing

    I love this show, I’ve learned so much from listening and will definitely miss Kate.

    My one gripe is the editing,which is similar with some of the other Rask podcasts. I skip the first two minutes because the preamble is so long, and occasionally the editing has been a bit random, with little bits that they talk about editing out, being left in. Today I was listening to one of the latest episodes and was totally gripped when the last 15 minutes became a garbled edited chat repeating certain bit... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

VanEck’s GOAT ETF: how AI is changing ETF investing, with James Gil
Q: How does the AI actually decide which stocks to include and how often does it rebalance?
The AI generates thousands of signals from fundamental, technical, and macro data, scores them, learns from historical and simulated outcomes, and continuously validates against live information. Each month it selects the top 150 scoring names, applying free-float weighting and diversification caps, which drives monthly turnover as opportunities evolve.
VanEck’s GOAT ETF: how AI is changing ETF investing, with James Gil
Q: For folks hearing about GOAT for the first time, can you give us the high level picture and what it does?
GOAT is an AI-driven, rules-based ETF that aims to provide a high-conviction, adaptive exposure to international shares by selecting the top-scoring companies from a broad investible universe, weighted by free float, with clear diversification constraints. It sits as an ETF with an active-like outcome, leveraging AI to generate and validate signals while maintaining transparency and periodic rebalancing.
ASIC’s offset account warning: what borrowers should check, with Sarah Court
Q: Can you just explain to all of us what an offset account is in just very simple terms?
An offset account is a transaction account whose balance is used to offset the mortgage balance, so the interest is calculated on a reduced amount; for example, money in the offset reduces the interest payable on the home loan, effectively saving money over time.
Six things we've learnt about money with Pearler's Hayden Smith
Q: Who is the best finance presenter you have come across?
Hayden describes a preference for presenters who teach with clarity and practical takeaways, highlighting Alan Colas and his son Chris as particularly effective and memorable examples from his experiences.
Should you DIY your super? Hayden Smith answers the big questions
Q: What is super?
Super is a retirement savings vehicle that you fund during your working years and can access only at retirement; it functions like an investment account with tax advantages and rules around accessibility.
