What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
Here's something worth knowing if you've been meaning to make the switch to a better broker. To celebrate their fifth birthday, Perla are offering three free trades a month for five months if you transfer your portfolio across with a minimum of $1,000.

Kate Campbell, how are you today? I'm good, Owen. I'm surviving. Oh, that's very good of you. Surviving is probably a pretty low bar, but we'll take it. So today we're talking about Magellan Financial Group. This trades on the ASSEX under the ticker symbol MFG. It's a company you can buy shares in. So this is our shares episode. Tell us a little bit more about this episode.
What investment strategies does Magellan offer?
This is like this type of episode on the Australian Finance Podcast.
