Is owning a paid‑off house and the Age Pension enough to fund a comfortable retirement?
Whilst we are licensed, we're not aware of your personal financial circumstances. Any advice is general advice.
What does the rise in retirees with mortgage debt mean for retirement planning?
Equitymates operates under Australian Financial Services Licence 540697. What happens when inflation remains above target? The Fed raises rates. It was a unanimous decision.
Why might the Age Pension fall short of covering living expenses in retirement?
All 12 members of the Fed's rate setting board voted for it.
How could future changes to retirement rules and the pension age impact retirees?
So how did Trump react? He posted interest rates in the United States should be 1% or less because we are the best credit in the world by far. Our country is booming with new investment.
Welcome to another episode of Equity Mates, a podcast where we explore what's possible in the world of investing.
What are the biggest portfolio‑overlap and tax‑efficiency issues in a typical Australian ETF mix?
If you've just joined us for the very first time, a huge welcome to our community. My name is Bryce.
And I'm Ren, and today we're talking about the Fed raising rates. I'm teeing off on the ASX. Pimp My Portfolio is back. Owen Rask is taking a look at a community member's portfolio. And Super September continues as we tackle the myth, a house and the aged pension is enough for retirement.
How can a young investor simplify and optimise a mixed ETF‑and‑stock portfolio for long‑term growth?
Bryce, big episode, a lot happening in this episode, a lot happening in Equity Mates, nothing bigger than FinFest.
Nothing bigger than FinFest and goodness me, we are close to selling, putting that sold out sticker on all promotional material.
Tickets remaining keeps halving. So it was 200 and then it was 100, then it was 60, then it's 30.
Yeah, it's kind of weird.
It's like the Bitcoin halving. I know. 15 tickets next episode. Yeah. Well, speaking of the Bitcoin halving, there will be crypto sessions there. We're going to try and cover all asset classes, not just equities and the share market. We're going to talk property, crypto, alternatives. However you want to make your money work for you, FinFest has something for you. But there's one session that we wanted to highlight, Bryce, a favorite guest here at Equity Mates. Tobias Bucks will be doing a session at FinFest.
Yes, Tobias Box is, as you said, a returning guest, favorite guest here at Equity Mates. He always brings small cap companies to the table that we've never heard of that are making widgets in Scandinavia somewhere. It's just a fascinating listen. The
Slovakian ball bearing
factory that's compounding earnings of 40%. Exactly, exactly. So Tobias is going to be sitting down with Ali Selby to unpack how to find small cap opportunities globally. It's a session that we're really looking forward to.
So head to equitymates.com slash finfest to get your tickets before they sell out. Finfest is proudly brought to
you by
BetaShares.
Stories we're covering today, Ren, the US has raised interest rates for the first time in three years and the ASX have let slip another golden opportunity. Yes. Let's start with the US though, because as I said, they have raised interest rates by 0.25% or 25 basis points, taking their range from three or two, 3.75 to 4%.
Yeah, so it was a unanimous decision. All 12 members of the Fed's rate-setting board voted for it, and it was expected. Inflation is above the Fed's 2% target. Oil prices are high and rising. Those energy prices flow into the cost of everything. Food prices are high.
