Simon Shields is the Portfolio Manager and co-founder of Monash Investors. We spoke about his approach to investing, an overview of the recent reporting season, the difference between focussing on absolute and relative returns and the early warning triggers they use to reduce exposure to companies in their fund that may be facing challenges to their share price. You can find out more about Monash Investors at this link: https://monashinvestors.com/Before co-founding Monash, Simon spent 25 years as an analyst, portfolio manager and head of equities for large fund management businesses. Unusually for a professional fund manager, he was fortunate to move between firms that had widely differing investment styles of growth, value and DCF approaches. Monash has taken advantage of this experience to create an agnostic approach to investing that focusses on absolute instead of relative returns.Sharesight is the best portfolio tracking tool in the known universe - and they are pleased to extend a SPECIAL OFFER to listeners of this podcast: Save 4 months on an annual premium plan! Click here and sign up now for a 7 day free trial. Or go to https://www.sharesight.com/stocksforbeginners Disclosure: The links provided are affiliate links.

I’d like to introduce you to a new podcast called ETFs for Beginners. My co-host is Ana Kresina. She’s much better on Instagram than me and you can follow us there by going to @etfsforbeginners. ETFs deserve their own podcast. They can represent a different style of investing altogether, or they can be part of portfolio that includes both individual shares and ETFs. Either way there’s a lot to talk about. I’m also enjoying working with Ana who is a devotee of long term boring compounding investing. She also doesn’t break Instagram the way I would. https://play.acast.com/s/etfs-for-beginnersWe are excited to be publishing our first episode with an actual guest! Jessica Leung from Betashares. In this episode Jessica explains how one of the best ways to start out with ETFs is with a broad market cap weighted index. So you're essentially getting the market, the whole of the ASX 200. She also explained why she decided to create content on social media, to raise awareness of financial literacy. Who better to speak in this space than a person actually managing an ETF themselves. You can find her in Instagram and TikTok via @theleungwayHere's a link to a recent article from Jessica about the ESG revolution: https://www.betashares.com.au/insights/the-esg-revolution/Jessica is a member of the portfolio management team at BetaShares. Prior to joining BetaShares, Jessica worked within the Systematic Equities Portfolio Management team at Macquarie Investment Management. Jessica is a CFA Charterholder and has a Bachelor degree in Actuarial Studies and a Bachelor of Applied Finance from Macquarie University.ETFs for Beginners is for information and educational purposes only. It isn’t financial advice, and you shouldn’t buy or sell any investments based on what you’ve heard here.

In this WEEKEND WATCHLIST I’m joined by Gareth Brown from Forager Funds to talk about Blancco (AIM:BLTG) Here’s a recent quarterly report from Forager: https://foragerfunds.com/news/investor_resources/quarterly-report-both-funds-september-2021/ “Erasure software market leader Blancco (AIM:BLTG) reported its full year result. The second half was strong, as expected, with revenue up 19% despite a currency headwind. The Enterprise division, selling direct to large corporations, continues to shine, with second half revenues increasing 35% and important new business wins that should be recurring in nature. The ITAD division, which sells erasure licences to equipment recyclers, did better than we should expect longer term, with a surge of end-of-life hardware processing occurring post COVID. The mobile phone recycling division didn’t inspire, generating revenues the same as the prior year, but it should benefit significantly from the return to normal life.” Portfolio tracker Sharesight tracks your trades, shows your true performance, and saves you time and money at tax time.
