We often discuss the idea of value: our own, our career, our house, our book collection, but what does this idea of value and the act of valuation mean in the context of investing? Kate’s heard Owen talking about company valuation for over five years now, and although she get’s the general gist, she never really wrapped her head around it. So after taking it to an Insta poll, it seems like our community is also keen to understand some of these basics as well. According to Investopedia, valuation is the analytical process of determining the current (or projected) worth of an asset or a company. The rest is a bit of a mystery to Kate, until now. In this episode Kate grills Owen on the basics on valuation until it makes some amount of sense, and covers why valuation is worth knowing about, does it matter to ETF investors, key numbers to understand and how to continue your journey.

Jeff Bezos famously said, “I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried”. Making financial decisions involves a lot of uncertainty, and it’s rare that we ever get the decision precisely perfect. But, if you approach your finances with a perfectionist mentality, you’ll probably never take that first step. So how can we minimise those feelings of regret regarding our finances that can hold us back from moving forward? In this episode Kate and Owen discuss 5 actionable ways to minimise your financial regrets, and maximise your money moving into the future. Ready-made ETF portfolios? Rask Core has you covered!

Why is talking about money so important? We’ve been taught from an early age that we shouldn’t talk about money, but that taboo does much more harm than good. Talking openly about our finances helps remove the culture of fear and shame that can surround money. Talking about money might feel hard right now. But not talking about it long-term will be harder. In this episode Kate & Owen discuss the importance of money conversations, some strategies to approach them with kindness and highlight the point that not everyone will learn, value or talk about money the way you do - and that’s okay!

The great debate: are you a spender or a saver? This question gets thrown around quite often, and it’s easy to lump yourself into a specific camp without really thinking about the drivers behind your behaviour. Most of us have a bit of both in us, and we’d argue that’s a good thing. This episode is going to focus on those that find themselves on the spending side of the debate, and hopefully provide you with some strategies to bring a bit more balance to your financial life. In this episode, Kate & Owen unpack the four main reasons why we spend money, with the goal of learning to spend your money with more intention. TLDR: You’re going to spend money for many different reasons and that’s a big part of your financial life. But where you can, try to articulate why you are spending the money.

Does your company have a moat? Here at Rask, one of the key pillars in our investment philosophy is investing in companies with strong advantages or moats. A moat is a throw-back to the good ol’ days when castles (business franchises) needed a ring of water (competitive advantage) to protect them from the attack of enemy armies (competitors) who had heavy armour and weaponry. A moat is a feature of a business that enables it to generate excess returns on capital for a sustained period. Under the rules of capitalism, usually a competitor would enter the market and eat away at those returns. In this episode, Kate & Owen discuss what an investment moat is, share Morningstar’s 5 moats and companies that fall within each category, along with how to identify and stress test a company’s moat.

Money can buy happiness, but you need to spend it right. This episode is all about small ways you can change your spending behaviour to maximise your happiness. Here’s the premise of the research report today’s episode is based on, which draws on 100’s of other research papers and studies: (1) buy more experiences and fewer material goods; (2) use their money to benefit others rather than themselves; (3) buy many small pleasures rather than fewer large ones; (4) eschew extended warranties and other forms of overpriced insurance; (5) delay consumption; (6) consider how peripheral features of their purchases may affect their day-to-day lives; (7) beware of comparison shopping; and (8) pay close attention to the happiness of others. Kate & Owen dive into some of the interesting aspects from each of these ideas and share some examples of how you could incorporate these in your own life. Because there’s no point saving and investing and getting to the end of your life, without really living on your own terms. That’s what we’re aiming for folks, not financial freedom for the sake of it, but to create a life where we get to choose where we spend our time and money. This episode is based on the research paper: If Money Doesn't Make You Happy Then You Probably Aren't Spending It Right by Elizabeth W. Dunn University of British Columbia, Daniel T. Gilbert Harvard University, and Timothy D. Wilson University of Virginia. Ready-made ETF portfolios? Rask ETFs has you covered (use code ‘AFP’ for $50 off your lifetime membership).
