What personal finance apps are recommended in 2021?
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. For anyone investing regularly, that's meaningful savings on brokerage that can stay invested instead. Perla is chess-sponsored, built specifically for long-term investors, and now has over $3 billion invested on the platform. If you've been with a platform that doesn't quite fit your strategy anymore, it might be time to take a look. You'll find all of the details at perla.com slash LP slash RASC. That's perla.com slash LP slash RASC. Hey there, here's a quick note.

It's great to be back, Owen, and this is our very first episode recorded out of lockdown in Melbourne.
We are still remote though. Yes, it is indeed. We record most of our episodes remote. We had to during COVID, but even before that, we were starting to do more remote, right?
Yeah. Now that you're in the regional suburbs of Victoria, it's a little bit harder to get in person in the office, but hopefully soon, hopefully we'll get to do some office recordings and it'll be nice to see you again.
Yeah. Yeah. Likewise. I think we're catching up soon. So that'd be nice. Today, we're talking about our favorite personal finance apps. And you've given me a limit of 30 minutes to do this with you. So you know that I rant. So we're going to try and keep it concise. And we're covering everything. We're covering investing, personal finance, banking, and even some ways to make money and get good news. So we did this last year and we had a similar list. But I think this is a relevant thing for a lot of people because a lot of people out there are thinking, you know, which broker do I use? Which banking app is good right now? And these things change often. Like a few years ago, people loved ING Bank because it had high interest and then the interest rate changed and then people were questioning whether they still kept that.
So this is a really interesting episode for a lot of people. It's kind of the nuts and bolts of personal finance and investing.
And of course, these are just some ones that I like. It's not throwing shade on any other apps that people like. There's plenty of others I use, but I just sort of included a couple of highlights in this list. And as far as I know, we have no affiliations with any of these companies.
No, we do use one of them, at least, or maybe a couple of them, but we do not have any affiliation with any of them. We may invest in one or two of them. We may invest in one of the companies. Yes. Maybe we can disclose that as we go through. Maybe it's a bit of a teaser because that's towards the end. So maybe we can find out which company that is as we go through. There we go. So you have to listen. Okay. Yeah. So that's a fair point. We don't, unlike many podcasts or people that you see on social media, we don't do referral links or anything like that.
