0.031 - 26.345 Owen

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.

For anyone investing regularly, that's meaningful savings on brokerage that can stay invested instead.

And before you acquire or apply for a financial product, please read the PDS or product disclosure statement, which should be available on the issuer's website. Lastly, please keep in mind that past performance is not indicative of future performance. Kate, hypothetical question. Who would win in a fight out of a zebra and a unicorn?

131.728 - 134.051 Kate

Obviously a unicorn. They are far superior, Owen.

134.872 - 135.272 Owen

Why is that?

136.974 - 137.395 Kate

The horn.

Chapter 2: What are the key features of the Stake brokerage account?

1555.632 - 1562.558 Kate

Yeah. And they have a much simpler pricing model as well for a more established platform.

0

1562.578 - 1584.921 Owen

Yeah. And that's why, and I think that's why, Kate, a lot of, investors that have, you know, a few hundred thousand dollars and are trading bigger amounts choose self-wealth because for us, like if we've got, say, if we're buying like two, $3,000, $4,000 of the shares, let's say, the $10 versus $20 with ComSec is actually, why wouldn't you just take the $10 option, right?

0

1585.682 - 1613.994 Owen

But if you're trading, but it's probably still not that bad, but if you're trading $50,000, right, because you've got more money, The difference between $9.50 and whatever that basis point was, like 0.1 something percent of the trade, if you think about that, it's actually a big, big difference. So these fixed fee platforms actually tend to work better for people that have bigger budgets. Cool.

1614.294 - 1617.621 Owen

Okay. So we're going to go from... This is almost...

1618.192 - 1643.389 Owen

almost an alphabetical order cake someone put this in alphabetical oh my gosh okay so the next one which is the one in 2020 probably got the most attention um and still until recently you see the ads everywhere they're on trams buses they're on my you know when you watch binge watch some tv they're on the ads there they're online facebook they're everywhere what's the brokerage

1643.943 - 1653.498 Kate

Yeah, superhero. And this is quite an interesting one because it was in part founded by a guy who was part of the team at Booktopia.

1654.219 - 1655.14 Owen

Which you're a fan of?

1655.661 - 1680.136 Kate

Yeah, even though I don't use it that often since I'm Amazon Prime subscribed. But yeah, you hooked me on Amazon Prime. It's your fault. It's addiction. Anyway, so they've come at it from a really tech focus. And I guess I would say it's a little similar to like what UpMoney have been doing, bringing in a team of tech-focused people and really changing the game.

1680.176 - 1694.115 Kate

And Superhero, a little bit different because they're not a hold identification number model. They're a custodial model. So that allows them to really cut the cost of brokerage. And I'd say their app's probably a little bit more focused on getting customers
