Property investors often talk about using debt to build wealth. In the share market, that's called gearing. With the BetaShares WealthBuilder range, investors can access moderate gearing into shares, and with the newly launched GG-BL, That means exposure to a diversified portfolio of around 1,300 global companies excluding Australia, all with no loan applications, credit checks, or margin calls. Gearing magnifies both gains and losses, so it's only suitable for investors with a very high tolerance for risk. You can learn more about the WealthBuilder range of ETFs at the BetaShares website. And don't forget to read the PDS and TMD to decide if it's right for you. BetaShares Capital Limited is the issuer.

It is wonderful to be back, Owen, for our share review episode for the month.
Share review.
We're sharing a review with you.
We are talking about Commonwealth Bank of Australia, otherwise known as... CBA. Otherwise known as... CommBank. CommBank. That's the one. Got it in two. So, CommBank, we're talking about the company, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, as part of our request. And we source your insights and what you want to hear about when we do these episodes. We alternate months. One month, we do a share, in this case, CBA. The next month, we might do an ETF. So, let us know on socials. Jump into the RAS core forums if you want to have your say on what we cover.
Yes, and it's a good opportunity for us just to talk about companies and how we look at them and pull out some interesting details alongside actually talking about share investing in general.
Yeah, so this is a chance for you to kind of go inside the mind of how we think about investing and actually, how do I research a company? And the idea behind this is to... 50% educational, 50% trying to learn about a business that you might know and whose products and services you might use every single day. And by doing so over time, if you've done five or 10 of these, you'll become a better observer of what happens in the world and how things work.
Yeah. And it's about being curious about the world around you, whether or not you ever invest in individual companies, considering how much of your ETF CBA takes up. So as of when we're recording at the start of October, if I just looked at the A200, the BetaShares ASX 200 ETF. CBA makes up 8% of the overall portfolio.
