Boost dividend income, free investing, managing stars | 20 Sep 2023

Wealth of Experience

Season 2, Episode 8

Special guest Rudi Minbatiwala, Head of Equity Income at First Sentier, explains why he thinks buying high-yield, dividend-paying stocks is a flawed way to get consistent income from the ASX. He reckons there are better strategies , which he runs through today.
For a different perspective on the investment world, our other special guest is Anne Marie Bernard, the senior director of HR at MFS Investment Management. Anne Marie tells us of the best ways that investment firms can incentivize fund managers, how to prevent star stockpickers from jumping ship, and how the concept of reverse mentoring can help fund managers keep on top of the latest industries like artificial intelligence.
As usual, Firstlinks’ Managing Editor, Graham Hand, also joins us, this time to go through the ways that investors nowadays can invest for free, or at least close to free. We discuss ETFs, listed investment companies, robo advice, and much more.
Morningstar's Peter Warnes is having a well-earned break and will be back with us for the next episode.
