Launch of the 'Wealth of Experience' podcast

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 1 of our new fortnightly podcast, Wealth of Experiencewith Peter Warnes.

Between the two of us, we have spent 99 years in financial markets. Peter started in stockbroking in 1968 and I started in banking in 1976. We considered the name '99 and Counting' for the podcast, but went with 'Wealth of Experience' as we hope to build your wealth through our experience. Our 99 years clearly differentiates us from the 'finfluencers' who have been around for five minutes. 

Peter is already well-known to many Firstlinks readers, as Head of Equities Research at Morningstar and Editor of Your Money Weekly. He originally joined Aspect Huntley as Head of Research in 1992 which was acquired by Morningstar in 2006, giving him 30 years in the Morningstar stable. He is widely quoted in the media for his stock calls and deep market analysis.

Peter and I will analyse, explain and have some fun talking about financial markets, stocks, products, trends and government policies. Each episode will cover highlights in both Firstlinks and Your Money Weekly, and in future we will invite guests from the market.  

The podcast is available via our dedicated website page, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and BuzzSprout.

Please share with friends and colleagues, and a favourable rating would also help spread the word. We also welcome questions and suggestions for upcoming episodes at firstlinks@morningstar.com.

Grab a cuppa and settle in for our chat.

Nice work! Just FYI your definition of cap rate is close but not quite right. It’s actually the market rent of the property divided by the valuation. Not the passing rent (as was noted in the podcast).

Great podcast. At a time when older financial advisers are exiting the industry on mass, this is very timely. Looking forward to more of your productions.

Enjoyed your first episode. Looking forward to more.
One devoted to “asset allocation for the prudent SMSF trustee” would be well received.

My wife and I enjoyed your podcast and found the 99 years of experience very informative.
We are retired and have a SMSF and have an investment adviser with a national company that we are not happy with, there performance was mediocre at best.
Regards,
John.

I've always found the 'combined experience' calculation a bit dubious. Does it have any legitimacy if it means that KFC staff combined have over 805 trillion years in cooking (or maybe food preparation service) experience?

Treasurer Jim Chalmers aims to tackle tax reform but faces challenges. Previous reviews struggled due to political sensitivities, highlighting the need for comprehensive and politically feasible change.

7 examples of how the new super tax will be calculated

You've no doubt heard about Division 296. These case studies show what people at various levels above the $3 million threshold might need to pay the ATO, with examples ranging from under $500 to more than $35,000.

The revolt against Baby Boomer wealth

The $3m super tax could be put down to the Government needing money and the wealthy being easy targets. It’s deeper than that though and this looks at the factors behind the policy and why more taxes on the wealthy are coming.

Are franking credits hurting Australia’s economy?

Business investment and per capita GDP have languished over the past decade and the Labor Government is conducting inquiries to find out why. Franking credits should be part of the debate about our stalling economy.

Here's what should replace the $3 million super tax

With Div. 296 looming, is there a smarter way to tax superannuation? This proposes a fairer, income-linked alternative that respects compounding, ensures predictability, and avoids taxing unrealised capital gains. 

The rubbery numbers behind super tax concessions

In selling the super tax, Labor has repeated Treasury claims of there being $50 billion in super tax concessions annually, mostly flowing to high-income earners. This figure is vastly overstated.

Should we dump stamp duties for land taxes?

Economists have long flagged the idea of swapping property taxes for land taxes for fairness and equity reasons. This looks at why what seems fairer may not deliver the outcomes that we expect.

Being human means being a bad investor

Many of the behaviours that have made humans such a successful species also make it difficult for us to be good, long-term investors. The key to better decision making is to understand what makes us human and adapt.
