Why should you consider investing in small-cap ASX shares?
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.

No problem, Zoan. It's good to be back today.
Yes, it is indeed. Recording remotely.
Yes, yes. I'm in, sadly, rainy Melbourne, but you've got nice weather up in Sydney, so lucky you.
Yes, dear listeners cannot see this, but I'm actually sitting on the edge of a bed in an Airbnb in Sydney with the curtains drawn behind me just to try and keep it nice and quiet. So apologies for any background noise. But hey, today we're talking about two things which are really exciting. One is space and the other thing is investing, in particular, small cap companies. So small companies here in Australia. So you've got some questions for me and we're excited to talk about them. what we have in store today. So I'll throw it over to you.
Yes. So we thought we'd talk a little bit more about small companies off the back of our whole shares month that you've had the pleasure of listening to us a lot talk about different investments, especially Disney over the last five episodes or so. So we thought maybe as sort of a carry-on from that, we would talk about the smaller companies on the Australian Stock Exchange portfolio And I know that's what excites a lot of investors. And that's often what Owen covers on his other podcast, the Australian Investors Podcast. I think worth just talking about some of the basics because we haven't really discussed it before. And what are the risks? Because there are a lot more risks to be wary of, like investing in anything that's new, developmental can be quite risky.
And with small caps, there's a much higher risk than maybe some of the blue chip stocks that we've mentioned before of going to zero.
What are the risks associated with small-cap investments?
So...
I'll hopefully debunk some of those myths for everyone today. And we've got to be 100% honest here. One of the reasons that we're doing this episode is because we at Rask, as many of our listeners will know, we actually offer subscriptions, investment subscriptions, where people can join and see all of our investment research.
