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!

Why you might get your inheritance sooner

By Cameron Micallef · October 10 2019

Reading:

There is a major change in estate planning occurring in Australia, with next of kin receiving inheritance based on “purpose, opportunities and security” from older relatives who aren’t waiting until they pass away to transfer the money across, a wealth manager has advised.

Kirsten Lynn, a private wealth adviser at Stanford Brown, has reflected on the changes to intergenerational wealth transfer which is now seeing individuals helped when they need it most.

“People are thinking more about the transfer of wealth during their lifetime and increasingly thinking about the benefit, needs and timing for individuals,” Ms Lynn said.

What is causing this change?

A broader demographic change and an ageing population have been highlighted as some of the reasons why individuals are passing on wealth.

“If your parents are living into their 90s, that means you’re probably not inheriting until you’re in your 60s,” Ms Lynn said.

In your 60s, you’re probably passed some of the major times where you want to inherit, or the major costs of raising children and paying down mortgages, she continued.

Another major change is family unit structures, with couples separating and remarrying, forming a new family unit.

“This means there is a broader group that needs to be factored in,” Ms Lynn said.

Finally, the sheer wealth that is going to be transferred over the next two decades is a major reason for intergenerational inheritance changes.

“Some of the research is suggesting it is $3.5 trillion, and broadly, baby boomers make up 25 per cent of the population but make up 50 per cent of the wealth,” the wealth adviser continued.

Holistic approach

Instead of focusing on passing wealth on in a traditional mirror will, the wealth managers are seeing a growing trend where inheritance is based on needs.

The wealth manager outlined that people passing on their wealth need to consider whether to pass on the wealth to the children or grandchildren, should they pass it on through paying for education, should they support a charity and how much the family does actually need.

Now, people are thinking more about the relationships involved and making sure to protect individuals’ feelings before passing on wealth.

“There’s more thought being given about the preservation of relationships and what they want and coming up with a plan more effective for everyone,” Ms Lynn said.

The wealth manager also highlighted how wills are being created with families involved in the conversation due to the threats of court challenges.

nestegg recently considered the importance of family members being made aware of the contents of an individual’s will.
