How much you need in super if you retire without a home
2026/04/11

Home ownership dramatically changes the amount Australians need to save for retirement. So, what if you don’t own and rent in retirement? This is an increasingly likely scenario for many Australians given the state of our housing market. Mark and Shani run through potential solutions in this episode, and modelling for how to achieve a comfortable retirement.

How much you need to invest if you started late
2026/04/04
The financial services industry tends to focus on how important it is to get started as early as possible. Starting to invest in your 20s provides a powerful advantage through compounding, but investors in their 30s, 40s and 50s have significant opportunities to build wealth and meaningfully improve financial outcomes. Mark and Shani look at how to harness these advantages.

The big bets you’re taking in passive investments
2026/03/28
The issue with investing in broad market index products is that you are anything but a passive investor. Owning the market does not mean that you own everything equally. When you look closely, many of the most popular ETFs in Australia embed a set of structural bets that can materially shape outcomes over time. Mark and Shani run through these exposures in common passive ETFs, and alternatives for investors that need it.
