Here at nestegg, we love podcasts for two reasons: For the intelligent and interesting people that we get the chance to speak to and for the insight that we can glean from sitting down for half an hour with them.

" ["fulltext"]=> string(3628) "

From an editorial perspective, it would be too difficult for us to ever decide on a top five for the year. Each podcast brings something different to the table – whether it’s a good story, a valuable piece of knowledge, or a lesson learned.

What we can do though, is give you a run-down of the five podcasts that piqued the interest of our readers and listeners the most.

Without further ado, we present to you the top five most listened-to nestegg podcasts for 2019:

All things Robo, artificial intelligence and exchange-traded fund

In this podcast, host David Stratford was joined by Richard Lightbound, ETF Securities’ co-head of sales and Robo Global’s CEO of EMEA Asia, to discuss the Robo Global Index.

They also did a deep dive into changes affecting commercial business in 2019 and how technology is being deployed as product in society.

Planning for tomorrow’s lifestyle today

Retirement’s always been a hot topic on nestegg, and this chat with Jason Nyilas, Aberdeen Standard Investments’ head of retirement and product strategy, was no different.

This popular podcast explored the importance of receiving financial advice into retirement and how default pension options aren’t always an individual’s best bet.

How savvy investors are turning otherwise idle cash into a wealth-creation tool

IPO Wealth CEO Ewan Laughlin and Mayfair 101 managing director James Mawhinney unpacked their insight for nestegg to reveal how individuals can grow their wealth through better distribution.

The podcast’s release pre-election also provided listeners with commentary on the May election and its potential impacts on the property market, as well as the importance of customer transparency throughout the investment process.

2. Why investors shouldn’t be afraid of a slowdown in the market

The June appearance of Bell Direct equity strategist Julia Bell provided some much-needed reassurance to investors during a particularly bleak period of the year market-wise.

She shared a number of ways investors can build up a diversified portfolio in a low interest rate environment and illustrated the silver linings of a market slowdown for Australian investors.

Making a full-time income in just a few hours a day a few days a week

The most popular podcast for nestegg’s listeners this year came in May, when David Stratford spoke with former television personality Greg Morgan.

Touching on topics as varied as broadcasting Saddam Hussein’s capture to the world to sitting by a pool in Bali, it’s no surprise this podcast nabbed the top spot.

In just 20 minutes, Mr Morgan shared so much of his trading and investment insight with the nestegg team, from his early mistakes and education to how he has shifted his investment strategies.

As relevant for listeners now as it was on the day of its release, it’s worth checking out – and definitely worth it’s first place ranking!

Australia has a new bank, have you heard of it?

Australia has a new bank, have you heard of it?

By Grace Ormsby · July 19 2019

Reading:

Australia’s traditional banking scene is about to be shaken up by a new kid on the block, with the entrance of a “smart” bank to the market.

86 400 has been granted a full authorised deposit-taking Institution licence by APRA, which means it is able to take unlimited customer deposits, having met the same regulatory requirements as the big four banks.

For the bank, the licence “is a significant milestone on the path to public launch”, with 86 400’s CEO Robert Bell commenting that the granting of the licence “confirms we’ve passed all of the necessary checks and balances required to call ourselves a bank”.

“This has been an incredibly thorough process, and we’ve had every element of our business stress-tested to confirm that we are as robust, secure and safe as any bricks-and-mortar bank,” he said.

“The only thing remaining is to bring 86 400 to market, which we’re now very close to doing.”

The CEO outlined that the first product to market will be a fully functional transaction account that comes with a Visa debit card.

Customers will have the option to pay “however they like”, with access offered to all digital payment methods from launch, including Apple Pay, Google Pay™, Samsung Pay, as well as FitBit Pay and Garmin Pay.

This will be closely followed by mortgages, home loans and investment loans.

A move towards mobile banking underpins 86 400’s entrance into the market, according to the bank’s chair Anthony Thomson.

“Here in Australia, most people do their banking on mobile phones, so the future is mobile banking,” he explained.

For him, the big difference is “that if you look at existing banks, they started out as branch-based banks then they tried to modify that to deliver desktop internet banking and then mobile banking”.

What 86 400 has done “from the get go is build a bank for your smartphone”.

“And that’s why we talk about this being the first smart bank. What we [have] tried to do is build a smart bank for the smartphone, the smart cars, [and] the smart lives that people lead today,” Mr Thomson said.

Mr Bell emphasised that no one from the company is interested in building a small niche bank.

His vision is to create “a smarter alternative to the big four banks”.
