Equity Mates Investing Podcast

Best investments to start the financial year, Buffett’s not done yet & is it time to buy Japan?

Season 10

We are three months into the new financial year and we've seen a wide range of performance in different markets.


Today we unpack which markets are up and which markets are down.


Throughout it all, the conclusion is clear: you need to be investing globally. Because some of the best performing markets are not the ones you'd expect.


That's not all we talk about in another big episode of Equity Mates:

  • Warren Buffett may be 95 and retiring at the end of the year, but he's not done yet
  • We unpack why Japan is excluded from so many Asia ETFs
  • With it recent strong run, we then ask if Japan has a role in our portfolios
  • Apple is pivoting away from the Vision Pro - but towards what?
  • We look at where Big Tech sees the future of computing

    38:17||Season 10
