What is Christian Hull's money story and coaching framework?
Commercial space is entering its most transformative period yet. What was once the domain of governments is now being shaped by listed companies operating across rocket launchers, satellite communications, space infrastructure, connectivity and data centres. Australians can now gain exposure to these companies. Introducing Betashare's Space Industry ETF. That's ASX-RCKT, the first Australian ETF dedicated to the space industry. Its index includes a fast-track mechanism that allows eligible, newly listed space companies to be added to the portfolio, usually within two trading days of IPO. That means investors can gain exposure to emerging players early without waiting for the next rebalance. BetaShares Capital Limited is the issuer.
Read the PDS and TMD on www.betashares.com.au to see if RCKT is right for you. Investing involves risk. Here's something worth knowing if you've been meaning to make the switch to a better broker.

Is there a different way that you should be thinking about investing? Does it make sense to maybe invest in more income and less growth? Does the 4% rule still work in Australia? We're going to answer all of these questions in part four of the Hot Money Mess series with comedian Christian Hull. As we review progress to date, I've got Gemma Mitchell in the studio with me here as we go through what's been done so far and what kind of strategies would we actually put in place for someone who is earning a lot of money or has quite a definitive goal in buying a tiny home in just a few years.
