G.S.I | ETFs For Beginners

Bryce Leske: [00:01:28] Equity Mates, Bryce and Ren here, we're just jumping in to let you know about the exciting launch of our new mini-series on the get started investing ETFs for Beginners, launching on the 19th of October. On Monday, 19th of October. On the get started investing Faid Ren. And it is going to be awesome. [00:01:46][17.9]

Alec Renehan: [00:01:47] Yeah, we've been overwhelmed by the number of ETF related questions that have come in during this Covid period. We did a well Covid adjusted live show where we jumped on a webinar and tried to answer as many questions as possible. But there's just so many coming in, which is great. And so we figured there was enough there to really do a three part series to unpack the basics in Episode one episode to talk about everything that's out there in the world of ETFs, everything that you can invest in through ETFs. And then number three, what you do after you buy. And for me, that was a particularly interesting one, because I'll be honest, there were some things that I should have been doing that I wasn't. So I learned a lot from it. And I'm pretty confident, you know, people who are even seasoned ETF investors will will learn a thing or two from this series. [00:02:41][54.3]

Bryce Leske: [00:02:42] You know, that's a good point, Ren. We have, as always, brought in some experts to help us unpack all there is to know. So we've teamed up with our good friends over at Beta Shares to walk us through those sort of three key areas of ETFs. And to your point, Ren, even if you have been investing in ETFs for a while now and you may think that you have the basics Covid, there are still some sort of gems of wisdom in here that everyone should be considering along their investing journey. So this is on to get started investing feed. So if you haven't subscribed to that, head over now to make sure that you get to the launch episodes when they do hit the airwaves, we've kept this at a really basic level so that everyone can understand it and take something away from it, as we say. And one of our policies here at Equity Mates is we hate jargon. So we've kept this jargon free. So and Ren. [00:03:37][55.0]

Alec Renehan: [00:03:38] Yeah. And as a little tasa, you know, we have our two K Equity Mates policies. No. One, we hate jargon. And number two, we hate phase. Have you actually introduced a third official Equity Mates policy and we're not going to say what it is on this and this little teaser here. You've got to listen to the series. But Bryce has introduced a third official Equity Mates policy. So get around that when [00:04:08][29.3]

Bryce Leske: [00:04:08] and I assure you that it's a policy most beginner investors and in fact every investor faces when they buy a stock. [00:04:16][8.1]

Alec Renehan: [00:04:17] So I'm confident this is applicable for every investor. Yes. [00:04:21][4.1]
