Peter Phan is the Portfolio Manager of Castlereagh Equity. Many Australian investors already know Peter from his time blogging and due to his activity on Twitter. This podcast is epic, unfiltered, barely edited and raw. I barely edited this audio file. It took place remotely, so the audio file is a little rough. Consider wearing your headphones. You’ve probably seen this episode come up in your feed and noticed this podcast is also the longest I have ever recorded. My wife said I should break it up into parts. However, if I did that, it would the diehard investors and learners may miss the deep signal Peter covers during the next two and a half hours. In this conversation, Peter covers everything from card counting and probability, mental models for analysing management or yourself, valuations and modelling outcomes, including examples in United Overseas Australia (ASX: UOS) and Data#3 Ltd (ASX: DTL). @60 minutes - how Peter invests In the first 60 minutes Peter sets the groundwork for the entire conversation. If you’re most interested in how he invests and the models he applies to his investing, jump forward to around 60 minutes into the conversation. At the very end of the conversation, around 2 hours and 26 minutes in, Peter answers three questions, including is it ok for non-investors to follow the efficient market hypothesis and invest passively, does an investment committee work and does a fund manager need business experience? His answers are fascinating. I hope you stick around for the full discussion and as always I hope you enjoy this conversation with Peter Phan of Castlereagh Equity.

Inflation spiked to 3.8% in October, driven by higher electricity and food costs. Economist Warren Hogan is calling for the RBA to raise rates by at least 25 basis points - possibly 40bp to get the cash rate back to 4%. Is Dr Deremith's famous "it's a no" prediction about to be proven wrong? A first interest rate rise in more than two years could be on the cards in 2026 after underlying inflation also increased to 3.3%, above the RBA's forecast of 3.2%. In this Australian Investors Podcast episode, Owen Rask and Drew Meredith debate the RBA's next move, tackle whether retirees should even bother chasing alpha in their portfolios, and dissect two contrasting retail stories. Collins Foods (KFC operator) is flying, but shares tanked. The company upgraded its profit outlook after delivering record first-half revenue of $750.3 million. They're now targeting year-on-year net profit growth in the mid-to-high teens (up from low-to-mid teens). Net profit rose 12.7% to $27.2 million, and they increased the interim dividend from 11¢ to 13¢. They are banking on the Banh Mi strategy to work! Metcash is struggling. The IGA/Mitre 10 owner tumbled 9.2% to $3.36 after reporting just 0.1% revenue growth to $8.48 billion, missing expectations. Food earnings were resilient (EBIT up 3.5%), but liquor EBIT fell 11.4% and hardware dropped 4.2%. Drew shares his first Tesla driving experience. They explore why data centres and energy are the future with Macquarie Tech's massive 47MW AI data centre opening. Plus: Property ETF strategies, when to shift to geared funds, and why tradies are earning $122k-$156k while we're stuck talking stocks.

Alphabet (Google) is making its own chips. What kind? Why now? And could this make Alphabet - not NVIDIA - the ultimate winner in the AI race? In this Australian Investors Podcast episode, Owen Rask and Drew Meredith break down why Alphabet could be the big AI winner, dissect the ASX meltdown, and deliver a comprehensive fixed income masterclass. While NVIDIA grabs headlines with another massive earnings beat, Alphabet's vertical integration strategy might be the smarter long-term play. By controlling the entire AI stack - from custom chips to Search, YouTube, and Cloud infrastructure - Google could dominate AI economics in a way that pure chipmakers can't. This changes everything about the Magnificent 7 calculus. Meanwhile, the ASX just wiped $40 billion in value as the market selloff continues. What's driving the crash and what should investors do? Major news: Macquarie Asset Management just made its largest-ever Australian infrastructure bet - an $11.6 billion takeover offer for Qube Holdings at $5.20 per share. Qube shares rocketed 19.4% to $4.86. Then comes the bond ETF deep dive. They compare passive vs active bond ETFs (OZBD, AEBD, VBND, FLOT, HBRD, ICOR, AAA, MMKT), explain different risk levels, break down debt structures (senior, subordinated, mezzanine), and cover key terms like security, LVR, yield and valuation. When should you own bonds? Which products work best for different market conditions? With Betashares, VanEck and Global X all offering competing products, how do you choose? The Future Fund is warning of "permacrisis" and ditching fixed-rate bonds while buying gold. Are long-short hedge fund strategies dead, or just cyclical? Owen shares his calendar and time management secrets. If you like this Australian Investors Podcast episode, you'll love the series.

Here's the uncomfortable truth: The ASX has delivered mediocre returns compared to US markets over the past decade. CBA and CSL - Australia's two biggest companies - are in freefall with a five-day market bloodbath. Banks and miners dominate our index. Meanwhile, rumours are swirling that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has bought into Alphabet (Google). Why? Search dominance. YouTube's advertising empire. Cloud growth. AI infrastructure leadership. Alphabet represents everything the ASX isn't: tech-forward, globally dominant, and diversified across multiple revenue streams. So the big questions: Is diversification overrated? Should Aussie investors just dump the ASX entirely and invest 100% overseas? In this Australian Investors Podcast episode, Owen Rask and Drew Meredith tackle the biggest portfolio construction debates. They break down the Berkshire-Alphabet purchase, explain why Google is the best of the Magnificent 7, and debate whether concentration in quality companies beats traditional diversification strategies. They also explore home country bias, currency exposure, tax implications, and whether the S&P 500's dominance makes holding ASX stocks pointless for long-term wealth creation. Plus: DroneShield's CEO has completely exited as the selloff deepens. The Sohn Investment Conference has embraced old-school value investing with picks like senior living facilities and steel manufacturers. And the Future Fund's $261 billion portfolio is buying gold and ditching bonds amid "permacrisis" warnings. Only 1% of Australian active funds are beating growth benchmarks. Value investing is making a comeback. Owen and Drew connect all the dots. If you like this Australian Investors Podcast episode, you'll love the series.

In this Australian Investors Podcast episode, host Mitchell Sneddon is joined by Eric Foran from Coller Capital, one of the world’s largest and longest-standing investors in private equity secondaries. Mitch first visited the Coller Capital team in New York, and when he heard Eric was visiting Australia, he grabbed the chance to bring him on the show. Secondaries might be a new term to many investors, but once you hear how they work, it makes complete sense. Rather than investing at the start of a private equity fund, Coller steps in halfway through — buying interests in funds or assets that are already operating, and providing liquidity to investors who want to exit early. Coller pioneered this market and now manages over $40 billion globally. With $200 billion in annual deal flow and increasing demand for liquidity, Eric explains why he believes this market is just getting started. So, join us for a deep dive into the booming private equity secondaries market with Eric Foran from Coller Capital, where we discuss: – How the private equity secondaries market works – Why this market now exceeds $200 billion and is still growing – The return profile and discount opportunities in secondaries – How Coller Capital builds its portfolio and evaluates deals If you love learning about private equity and alternative assets, subscribe to the Australian Investors Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube!

In this Australian Investors Podcast episode, your hosts Pete Wargent from Allen Wargent Property Buyers and Owen Rask from Rask Media discuss their respective journeys and whether it’s a good time to buy property or shares. They also look through a few case studies and how each cohort might like to invest in the current environment, be it in property, or shares, or both. This episode was originally featured on the Australian Finance Podcast. Here’s a summary of everything they discuss: Latest podcast news – nearly 457k monthly downloads Latest business and markets news from Owen & Pete --- Pros and cons of property and shares Super is massive in Australia too Buy a home and then what? Maybe best to have a balance of all of the above? --- Let’s look at a few case studies 1 Accountant – maybe risk averse, sensitive to cashflow, often owns a home and would like to add one rental, and contribute to super, $1m budget typical for a professional buying a house as an investment Different personality types Analytical/thinker – good saver – risk averse - suited to shares   2 Doctor – often earn higher incomes, tolerance for some risk, they want high growth assets. Some healthcare professionals need trusts for asset protection e.g. surgeon, anaesthetist. Can scale a portfolio quickly, and can tolerate some negative cashflow High income earner – achiever, goals focussed - tolerance for risk – may want to use leverage to build a property portfolio   3 Tradie – often have good skills and are decisive. Have skills to add value to properties and have a good eye for a deal. Some of the best investors are tradies. Good incomes very often and an entrepreneurial spirit   4 Entrepreneurs – difficulties with borrowing capacity, feast and famine. Hard to know whether to invest in self, business, or property and shares. Property is good for people who find it hard to save and invest regularly, after the initial up-front costs. Shares require some savings discipline. Borrowing capacity tends to come and go so need to be strategic and invest when you can Entrepreneur – freedom focussed - with lumpy income? It depends. Property debt can be a noose, but can also be forced discipline. Shares are more liquid and could be sold quickly in a crisis. Prof Scott Galloway. Credentialled – degree - stock options. Equity. Bonuses. “Build business and buy real estate” – Kiyosaki Our kids – University or not?
