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 [email protected].

Grab a cuppa and settle in for our chat.

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?

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.

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

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.

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).
