Podcast: Wealth of Experience

Welcome to our podcast, Wealth of Experience, with James Gruber, Graham Hand and Peter Warnes. 

Between Graham and Peter, there is 100+ years in financial markets. Peter started in stockbroking in 1968 and Graham started in banking in 1976. The aim of 'Wealth of Experience' is to help you build your wealth through their experience, and 100 years clearly differentiates them from the 'finfluencers' who have been around for five minutes. 

Peter is already well-known to many Firstlinks readers, as Head of Equity 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.

James, Peter and Graham chat about financial markets, stocks, products, trends and government policies. Each episode covers major highlights in Firstlinks, Your Money Weekly, and Morningstar, and also features guests from the market.
