Episode 9: Financial Infidelity
<p class="">In this episode we consider the spectrum of financial infidelity, from innocent indiscretions to the darker elements that can stray into another world of financial abuse.</p><p class=""></p><p class="">SHOW NOTES</p><p class=""><strong>00:27</strong> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_infidelity">Financial infidelity</a> is the act of spending money, possessing credit cards, holding secret accounts or stashes of money, borrowing money or otherwise incurring debt without the knowledge of one's partner, spouse or significant other. <br><br><br><strong>04:27</strong> It could run away and become something quite meaningful, which almost becomes more like <a href="https://moneysmart.gov.au/financial-abuse">financial abuse</a>. <br><br><strong>06:45</strong> There is a correlation to domestic violence, which is really scary because if you're in an abusive relationship and you need to exit, you need money.<br><br><strong>07:55</strong> <a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/financial-abuse-4155224">99% of domestic violence cases involve financial abuse</a>. It's a real problem. <br><br><strong>10:00</strong> If possible retain some financial independence, if you have to take time out of the workforce try to stay connected, because then if you need to re-enter, it's potentially easier.<br><br><strong>12:08</strong> It's a gender issue as women are more susceptible to the adverse consequences of all of this. <br><br><strong>12:55</strong> Sharing key Financial tasks (like doing your taxes together) can be a means of making sure both parties are on the same page when it comes to finances. <br><br><strong>13:30</strong> In situations of financial abuse, people don't have access, don't have control, don't even know what their financial situation is.<br><br><strong>13:58</strong> There's this book <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Diversity-Bonus-Great-Knowledge-Economy/dp/0691191530">The Diversity Bonus</a> and it talks about the benefits from the differences in how a group or a couple think about problem solving. <br><br><strong>15:15 </strong>Around <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/is-financial-infidelity-worse-than-physical-cheating-nearly-a-third-of-americans-think-so-survey-finds-7995032">a third of people</a> think that financial infidelities are actually worse than a physical infidelity.<br><br><strong>18:00</strong> Financial literacy is low and shining a light on these types of elements of finance is so important for all of our well-being.<br></p>

Episode 8: Investing and the Vegemite Effect
<p class="">Have our patriotic ways spilled over to our investment portfolios with Aussie equities representing a disproportionately large component of our investment portfolios?</p><p class="">Do you gravitate to investing in companies you know and like?</p><p class="">Might you suffer from the Vegemite effect, investing perhaps more than you should in local markets?</p><p class="">In this episode, we consider home bias and explore how investing in our beloved Australia might have unintended consequences, encouraging you to try other types of spreads.</p><p class="">SHOW NOTES</p><p class=""><strong>00:27</strong> Australians are really patriotic people. As a country, we take great pride in supporting our local communities and we have that affinity for Australian produced products like Vegemite.</p><p class=""><strong>01:21</strong> <a href="https://careers.workopolis.com/advice/the-reason-mark-zuckerberg-wears-the-same-shirt-every-day/" target="_blank">Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, wears grey t-shirts</a> all the time, it's an efficiency gain because he wants to minimise those more superficial decisions so he can focus on the ones that matter. And this is kind of the same in investing.</p><p class=""><strong>02:18</strong> There's a lot of behavioural biases and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/homebias.asp" target="_blank">home bias</a> or <a href="https://capital.com/familiarity-bias-examples-equity-home-and-local-bias" target="_blank">familiarity bias</a> is one to watch out for.</p><p class=""><strong>03:00</strong> In an earlier <a href="https://www.fintalking.com/episodes/who-can-you-trust" target="_blank">episode - who can you trust?</a> We raised Enron as an example. Employees not only lost their jobs, but a <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB1008712386485424000" target="_blank">large amount of their retirement savings had been invested in Enron stock as well</a>. This is a reminder familiarity bias can work against you.</p><p class=""><strong>05:32</strong> Did you notice that the daily news always has a component on the stock market movements?</p><p class=""><strong>06:23</strong> Australian market is highly concentrated. The<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Ordinaries" target="_blank"> All Ordinaries</a>, the top 10 stocks account for roughly 37% of the total index.</p><p class=""><strong>08:04</strong> Australia is a small equity market, like 2 or 3% of the size of global market cap.</p><p class=""><strong>10:07</strong> An<a href="https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jel.37.2.571" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/797987?seq=1" target="_blank">older study</a> that was done in 1999, found Fund Managers suffer from this home bias as well.</p><p class=""><strong>12:46</strong> In Australia we have<a href="https://www.firstlinks.com.au/franking-credits-made-easy" target="_blank"> franking credits</a> that can incentivise investment in Australia because you're receiving a tax rebate based on the tax that has already been paid by the company on the dividend you receive.</p><p class=""><strong>13:28</strong> The fact that there's<a href="https://www.finder.com.au/negative-gearing" target="_blank"> negative gearing</a> and also low interest rates has really seen people move to the Australian property market over time.</p><p class=""><strong>14:08</strong> If you work as an individual for an Australian company, then your<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital" target="_blank"> human capital</a> is dependent on the Australian economy or that particular company doing well.</p><p class=""><strong>17:13</strong> Home Bias is not just an Australian phenomena. It is global. In Japan, approximately 80% of Japanese investors invest into local Japanese companies. Yet Japan has only 9% market cap.</p><p class=""><strong>21:10</strong> The power of diversification, a defense against home bias.</p>
