Diversification is a technique used to lower the risk for an investment portfolio by spreading the specific risks of investing across many holdings. We often practice diversification in other areas of our life without even realizing it. Think friends in different groups, external industry connections, reading widely, not just eating potato chips, having new travel experiences etc. It’s the idea that we shouldn’t rely on any one single "thing" and instead incorporate different things that are not directly linked together. Fidelity defines diversification in investing as "the practice of spreading your investments around so that your exposure to any one type of asset is limited. This practice is designed to help reduce the volatility of your portfolio over time." In today's episode, Kate & Owen discuss how they think about diversification in their own lives and what it looks like in our finances, investing, careers and life. *** Access the show notes for The Australian Finance Podcast: www.raskmedia.com.au/podcasts/australian-finance-podcast 🌏 Ready-made ETF portfolios?

What is your rich life? We’re doing something a little different today, and discussing a recent TV show that was released on Netflix, How to Get Rich with Ramit Sethi. After following Ramit Sethi for years after reading his book, I Will Teach You to Be Rich; we were excited to see his TV series, which was released on Netflix earlier in 2023. How To Get Rich is an 8-part series that follows a range of individuals and couples on their financial journey. Kate & Owen share some of the key themes that emerged during the series, which was an engaging way to kickstart the money conversation. Ramit regularly brings up the theme of understanding your “rich life” throughout the series. He describes this as “your ideal life — one where you look at your personal relationships, your finances, and your ordinary days and say, wow! It’s a life that is full. A life lived intentionally, proactively, and abundantly.” *** Access the show notes for The Australian Finance Podcast: www.raskmedia.com.au/podcasts/australian-finance-podcast 🌏 Ready-made ETF portfolios?
