Cathie Wood: the investment case for ESG, AI and Bitcoin

HOSTS Maddy Guest & Sophie Dicker|4 July, 2023

Listen On

Part Two. In October of 2020, Maddy and Soph were inspired to start a podcast about investing to help make it more accessible for their friends. One of their inspirations? Cathie Wood. A true trailblazer in the investing world, Cathie is a revolutionary female founder setting out to change the world. Her tenacity to challenge the status quo has earned her a place amongst the world’s greatest investors.

After almost three years of joking that one day Cathie might join the pair on the pod, YIGC have turned that vision into a reality.

In part two of two, the pair put some hard hitting questions to Cathie about ARK’s investment strategy. Maddy and Sophie ask why ARK doesn’t have a dedicated ESG fund, how to differentiate a fad from future when analysing companies, and why Cathie believes Bitcoin will hit a price target of US$1.4m. If you’re curious about where the opportunities may lie in ESG, AI and Bitcoin, then this episode is for you.

Just a foreword: in today’s episode we will be referencing ARK’s research, the Big Ideas Report. This report highlights the 5 key disruptive innovation platforms that ARK believes will have the most transformative impacts on the future of society. For a more fulfilling and engaging listen, have a read of the report here: https://ark-invest.com/big-ideas-2023/. Trust us, it will leave you feeling inspired.

Keep track of Sophie and Maddy between the episodes on Instagram, or on TikTok, and come and be part of the conversation on Facebook with our You’re In Good Company Discussion Group.

    Maddy Guest

    Maddy lives in Melbourne, works in finance, but had no idea about investing until she started recently. Her favourite things to do are watching the Hawks play on weekends, reading books, and she says she's happiest, 'when eating pasta with a glass of wine'. Maddy began her investing journey when she started earning a full time income and found myself reading about the benefits of compound interest in the Barefoot Investor. Her mind was blown, and she started just before the pandemic crash in 2020. What's her investing goal? To be financially independent for the rest of her life, and make decisions without being overly stressed about money.

    Sophie lives in Melbourne, and enjoys playing sport, and then drinking red wine immediately after finishing sport. She works in finance, but honestly had no idea about investing until her partner encouraged her to start. She says, 'my interest has only taken off from there - I find it exciting… I mean who doesn’t like watching their money grow?' Her investing goal is to build the freedom to do things that she's passionate about - whether it be start a business, donate to causes close to her, or to take time out of the workforce to start a family. Right now, there’s no specific goal, she just wants to have the freedom when she'll need it.
