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.

Hello, I'm Kate Campbell. And I'm Owen Rask. And you're listening to the Australian Finance Podcast.

You can find us on Instagram and Twitter at Rask Australia. That's R-A-S-K Australia.
And I'm Owen Rask on Twitter or Owen Rask AU on Instagram. Beware the imitators. People like to copy us. Without further ado, let's jump in to today's episode. Kate, welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast. Wonderful to be back, Owen. Yes, it is because we are joined by Pete Wardgen. G'day, mate.
How are you doing? I'm going slightly out of breath because I've just pegged it halfway along for Flinders Lane to be here. But yes, great to be back on the show.
Yeah. Longer than you thought, Flinders Lane.
Yeah, well, when you sort of see the name Flinders Lane, you've got in your mind maybe a short Melbourne laneway, but as it turns out, it's about three miles long. So a bit of an effort to get here, but good to be here.
Yeah, it's great, mate. And this is actually the first time that you have recorded in our studio here in Melbourne because you're in town. You're from Noosa, right?
Yeah, well, not originally, as you can hear from my accent. But yes, I live in Noosa Springs and down in Melbourne for a few weeks. I'm just enjoying this beautiful grey vista out the window.
Yeah, well, you've given up the sun for a bit of cloud. Welcome to Melbourne, mate. So... People who listen to our investors podcast, which is the yellow one that's in their podcast feeds, and it tends to focus on slightly more advanced topics like property investing, share investing, so on and so forth. They'd be familiar with you and they would have heard your voice multiple times because I had you on the show maybe three months ago. And we talked about basically what's happening. What's the data and property telling us? People would be familiar with you there. But here, first foray in the Australian Finance Podcast. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? What do you do? The books you've written? Pretty good back catalogue, mate.
Yeah, well, originally English, as you can hear.
