How many holdings should I have in my portfolio?

Season 6, Ep. 7

We speak about the positives and perils of diversification in your portfolio, and how to find a balance.


This week in Mark's Unconventional Wisdom column he challenges the traditional classifications of income and growth stocks. He runs through his focus on dividend growth, rather than just focusing solely on yield. Mark runs through a controversial income pick that he believes offers significant potential for future dividend growth.

 

Core/Satellite is an investment strategy that many financial advisers use for their clients. Shani looks at whether this is something that individual investors should adopt, and whether she has adopted it for her own portfolio.

 

In the latest installment of his Bookworm column, Joseph uses David Dreman's concept of "trigger events" to explain Nvidia's recent market fall. He also earmarks two ASX stocks that appear to lie on opposite sides of this famous contrarian investor's radar.

 

With the proliferation of financial advice available through the media, individuals are often faced with an overwhelming number of investment options. As someone who works in the finance industry with an abundance of research at her disposal, Sim also experiences this paradox of choice. Despite this, her column explores why she chooses not to invest in individual stocks anymore and why this method aligns with her goals.

  • 29. Your thoughts on Australia's super system

    24:52||Season 6, Ep. 29
    This episode of Investing Compass reviews the Australian superannuation system. For each aspect of the retirement system, Mark gives it a grade, but also shares the average grade that Morningstar readers gave. This week in Mark's Unconventional Wisdom column, he speaks about how investors can navigate their investments and their portfolio in an age of economic disorder. In a world awash with debt, it's important for investors to understand the impacts on their portfolios and how they're able build resiliency into it. Mark presents three steps to achieve this. Financial advisers are investing in droves in Separately Managed Accounts, or SMAs. In Shani's Future Focus column, she looks at the benefits of this investment product, and why more and more advisers are joining its church. Are investors prone to making the same mistake as many golfers? In a special edition of Bookworm written from his hometown in Scotland, Joseph encourages investors to spend less time obsessing over the next stock idea and more time thinking about their big picture approach. Readers can also laugh at the dreadful score Joseph recorded on one of golf's most historically significant holes during his trip home. Most investors tend to critically analyse their portfolio retrospectively. The recent surge of gold and crypto has proliferated discussions over the optimal asset allocation for modern times. In this week's Young & Invested, Sim unpacks why the price of gold has exploded and whether the asset should hold a place in the portfolios of younger investors. To submit any questions or feedback, please email mark.lamonica1@morningstar.com or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.
  • 28. Market returns are secondary to this driver of returns

    19:31||Season 6, Ep. 28
    Some investors focus on what the markets are doing each day to understand how their portfolio is going to perform. In this episode, we run through the common behavioural mistakes that will likely have an outsized impact on your portfolio, and how investors can prevent making these mistakes.To submit any questions or feedback, please email mark.lamonica1@morningstar.com or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.In this week's edition of Unconventional Wisdom, Mark goes through the process of playing devil's advocate for his ETF choice for Australian equity exposure. An important exercise for all investors, as it ensures that there are no biases at play and helps you make a strong decision about securities that you choose to include or exclude in your portfolio. He runs through detailed analysis for why it should be included in his portfolio. This week in Future Focus, Shani explores trusts. In a meeting with a tax specialist, she was pointed towards them as a way to minimise tax, especially for those individuals on higher tax brackets. She looks at who these vehicles suit and when they might be too much effort with not enough reward. Joseph tapped the insights of Morningstar’s energy analyst to compare integrated fuel and gas station company Ampol with its industry peer Viva Energy (the owner of Reddy Express). How might Australia’s biggest gas station firms fare in a world with more EVs? Are they likely to keep their Australian oil refineries open amid tough competition? And do the shares offer enough value and yield for income investors to look past these question marks? Find out in Joseph’s latest Stock Showdown! Humans have a natural inclination to assume that expensive equals better. But is that the case with investing? Not really. Paying more often means getting less in return. Investors have largely taken this message onboard and clearly favour low-cost funds while rejecting more costly options. But are we missing out on better products by doing so? In this week's Young & Invested, Sim explores if investors are too obsessed with fees and when paying extra may be worth it. 
  • 27. One of the most generous tax breaks in Australia

    16:01||Season 6, Ep. 27
    This week, Mark and Shani take a look at a quirk to one of the most generous tax concessions that we have in Australia, the CGT exemption for your home. The CGT exemption also allows for you to rent out your property for a number of years, and still claim the CGT-exempt status. We take a deep dive into the tax policy, the circumstances that it suits and the situations to avoid that would make homeowners pay more tax than they need to. You can read the full article here.You can find more examples of the policy on the ATO website.To submit any questions or feedback, please email mark.lamonica1@morningstar.com or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.
  • 26. Are you wealthy?

    21:41||Season 6, Ep. 26
    This week's podcast focuses on traditional metrics for understanding whether you're wealthy, and whether there are better ways to assess your progress towards wealth creation in your End of Financial Year review. We run through the ratios you can use during your portfolio review to conduct a holistic assessment.Mark's Unconventional Wisdom column takes a deep look at the state of housing in Australia. He explores whether housing is the anchor weighing Australia down? Mark explains why he thinks is it, and how the cost of housing is sapping the dynamism of the economy, lowering living standards and hampering our financial independence. This week, Shani's Future Focus column focuses on traditional metrics for understanding whether you're wealthy, and whether there are better ways to assess your progress towards wealth creation in your End of Financial Year review. She runs through the ratios you can use during your portfolio review to conduct a holistic assessment. Joseph's featured article this week takes a deeper look at the "deep value" style of investing. He explores what it involves, potential opportunities and drawbacks for individual investors, and where a high profile fund manager that follows this approach is finding ideas today. The article also reveals the most interesting stock pitch that Joseph heard at Morningstar's recent investment conference for financial advisers in Sydney. ETFs have gained mass investor popularity over the last five years. It's safe to say Aussie investors are a little obsessed with the product. And why not? With instant diversification at relatively low cost fees, no one can argue they aren’t an attractive product to build wealth. But is there anything we might be missing with this one-track fixation? Sim explores some of potential drawbacks associated with ETF investing and evaluates how these may effect investor assumptions about the 'safe' investment. To submit any questions or feedback, please email mark.lamonica1@morningstar.com or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.

As investors rush into the attractive yield offered by private credit providers, he urges caution and why all that glitters is not always gold.Shani's Future Focus looks at three ways to maximise your returns. Her column looks past how to find the best investments, but how to maximise the returns of the ones that you have.Public companies that are taken over by private equity are usually done so at a premium to recent share prices.

In the latest edition of Bookworm, Joseph taps the insight of legendary fund manager Anthony Bolton to arrive at three things that might make a company more attractive to acquirers. He also explains why investors should be wary of relying too much on this outcome alone.99% of investors won't be the next Warren Buffett. Luckily, we don't need to be that successful.

  • 22. The stocks the best performing superfunds are investing in

    19:51||Season 6, Ep. 22
    In this episode, we look at the top shares of Australia’s best performing super funds, and our equity analysts’ outlook for the stocks.You're able to view the article here.To submit any questions or feedback, please email mark.lamonica1@morningstar.com or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.This week for Mark's Unconventional Wisdom column, he grades the superannuation system in Australia, offering each part of the system a letter grade of A, B, C or D. It allows investors to understand what our super system does well and what it doesn’t, and how that might impact them. Shani's Future Focus column looks at a quirk to one of the most generous tax concessions that we have in Australia, the CGT exemption for your home. The CGT exemption also allows for you to rent out your property for a number of years, and still claim the CGT-exempt status. Shani takes a deep dive into the tax policy, the circumstances that it suits and the situations to avoid that would make homeowners pay more tax than they need to. Small caps have historically traded at a premium given conviction behind long term outperformance. Market narratives surrounding their sizeable growth prospects can sway younger investors who performance chase. As a follow up on a previous article 'The Beginner ETF Portfolio', Sim explores the risks and merits of small cap exposure in a beginner's ETF portfolio.  AI chatbots and search assistants have transformed the way that many people seek information. But can they be relied upon for investment advice, too? Acting on a recommendation from a recent industry event, Joseph asked ChatGPT to impersonate an investment board of three famous investors. Then, he asked it to discuss some potential investments. What happened next left Joseph impressed and worried in equal measure.
  • 21. Lessons from Buffett you should ignore

    19:48||Season 6, Ep. 21
    Buffett has invested for over 7 decades, where his investing style and approach has evolved. There are many lessons, quotes and soundbites that investors take from him. This episode looks at the lessons that we should ignore from Buffett.You can find the full article here.To submit any questions or feedback, please email mark.lamonica1@morningstar.com or leave us a voicemail to feature on the podcast here.Additional resources from our episodes are available via our website.Audio Producer and mixer: William Ton.We always have market sceptics (including us at times) declare that there will be inevitable bear markets. However, we’ve had significant economic and social disruption in the form of a pandemic, and the volatility and uncertainty of President Trump. Still, the market continues to rise. In Mark’s latest column, he has explored the reasons for why the market continues to rise, and whether the trend will continue. Stock market participants can broadly be split into two camps: investors and speculators. In the next edition of Bookworm, Joseph shows how Warren Buffett's teacher Benjamin Graham distinguished between the two in a single paragraph of text. He also poses a question that every budding investor should ask themselves, and shares his view on a five word approach to markets that Graham recommended.  Shani's last edition of her column looked at a tax targeting super accounts over $3 million. In this edition, she broadens the lens. Australia has a National Financial Capability Strategy, but it is inactive. She runs through the dire impacts that putting financial literacy on the backburner can have on Aussies. She writes an open letter to the newly re-elected Government, urging an immediate focus on improving financial literacy. 60% of Aussies report not feeling confident about managing their own retirement. The relationship between you and your super fund might end up being one of the longest relationships you’ll ever have. And just like life, you’re at liberty to chop and change as you go. But much like picking a good partner, who you start with matters. In this week's Young & Invested, Sim explores some of the things you should consider when picking between super funds.
