Expert Investor: Chris Brycki – 3x Winner Of The ASX Sharemarket Game

HOSTS Alec Renehan & Bryce Leske|14 October, 2018

Listen On

“The best advice is boring..” – this is episode is anything but boring, AND is full of great advice. Today we’re excited to bring you an interview with Chris Brykci. Chris is the CEO of StockSpot – Australia’s first ever digital investment adviser. Chris has over 21 years of investment experience and spent most of his career as a Portfolio Manager at UBS. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting/Finance Co-op Scholarship) from the UNSW and is a member of the ASIC Digital Advisory Committee. Chris is a pioneer in the investment advice and personal finance space. He started Stockspot when he was 28 when he realised consumers were being taken advantage of by unfair fees and biased advice when they invest. He saw the opportunity to use technology to help more Australians access honest advice and low fee investing. He now sits on two ASIC financial advice and technology committees. He’s also famous for winning the ASX high school share trading game three times as a teenager. In this episode we discuss a variety of investment topics, from investing 101 and creating a great portfolio to why it might not be the best idea for Bryce to be sitting in cash! We learnt a lot from Chris, so we hope you do as well. In this episode you will learn: • How Chris chose his first stock, at 10 years old • Why losing money is the best way to learn to invest • The strategies used to win 3 ASX School Sharemarket Games • The concept of ‘buying straw hats in winter’ and how you can apply it today • That ‘the best advice is boring’ • What separates StockSpot from every other robo-adviser • The defensive strategies StockSpot use to protect investors money Stocks and resources discussed: • Reminiscences of a Stock Operator – Edwin Lefèvre • Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness – Richard Thaler • Thinking, Fast and Slow – Daniel Kahneman Some housekeeping: Follow us on Instagram – It’s not just memes, we’re actually using it as a platform to provide you with some inspiration and new concepts – each week we do a Pardon the Jargon (key terms you need to know as an investor), Company in the Spotlight (an introduction to a new Australian company), News and Thought Starters Essential Learnings – we’ve collated all of our Basics 101 episodes into a series, so you can refer back to them, or use them as a starting point. They’re all essential episodes to learn to invest. Ask Us Anything – if you want to ask us a question, head over to our forum, and ask us! If we can’t answer, we’ll get one of our Experts to.

    Alec Renehan

    Equity Mates Co-Founder

    Alec developed an interest in investing after realising he was spending all that he was earning. Investing became his form of 'forced saving'. While his first investment, Slater and Gordon (SGH), was a resounding failure, he learnt a lot from that experience. He hopes to share those lessons amongst others through the podcast and help people realise that if he can make money investing, anyone can.

    Bryce has had an interest in the stock market since his parents encouraged him to save 50c a fortnight from the age of 5. Once he had saved $500 he bought his first stock - BKI - a Listed Investment Company (LIC), and since then hasn't stopped. He hopes that Equity Mates can help make investing understandable and accessible. He loves the Essendon Football Club, and lives in Sydney.
