In this episode, Jack Sharry talks with Cheryl Nash, CEO of the Financial Supermarkets Division at InvestCloud. Cheryl unpacks her acquisition-filled journey to CEO and everything that makes InvestCloud an industry standout. Cheryl began her career as a data entrant at Security APL before automation was as widespread as it is today. Security APL was ultimately acquired by Fiserv which recently sold a 60% stake to Motion Partners. Cheryl was then appointed CEO of the newly branded Tegra118. Several weeks before Tegra118's first anniversary, they merged with InvestCloud and Finantix.  A true industry leader, Cheryl chats with Jack about planning for retirement, how COVID has shaped consumers, and the future of wealthtech. “Technology is an essential enabler. Use technology for the tasks where speed, efficiency, automation, and precision are needed, while always remembering that we're in a people business. Relationships matter and trust matters, but technology really becomes an essential enabler.” ~ @cherylnash2 Main takeaways  COVID has helped consumers understand the importance of going digital and the need to bring things to market quickly.  The future of wealthtech lies in personalization. Consumers want wealthtech to mimic the personalization features of Netflix and Amazon. Personalization makes it easier for the advisor to give an investor exactly what they want, when they want it, and how they want it.  Goals-based planning is essential for ensuring clients are prepared for retirement and the big questions that come along with it. Stay nimble, open-minded, and always look to the future.  You can't be everything for everyone, but know what your firm does very well, celebrate those wins, and search for partners to help fill in the gaps. Technology is key to growing your business and innovating within the wealthtech industry.

Rupert Carlyon joins me to have a candid discussion around the the vehicle, and the destination that it's taking us to.Whether we acknowledge it or not, our KiwiSaver is taking us somewhere. Many of us, including myself until a few years back, are rather apathetic on the topic of KiwiSaver. We've set it up, now we've moved on to something else. Is that wise?In this episode, Rupert (one of the co-founders of a digital advice KiwiSaver provider called Koura Wealth), discusses with me some of the habits and mindsets we need to move into, in order to build a better retirement.Factual information may not enough, even if it's available in spades, to make a good decision around your financial future. Advice provides another layer for one to make a good decision in light of the facts, about what's right for them.The problem with advice is that it's not freely available, unless there's a sale on the other end. Providing advice is not a charity especially if humans are employed to deliver it. The result in NZ, and regulation certainly has a huge role to play here btw, is that many Kiwi's have chosen their KiwiSaver provider without advice.Digital advice aims to solve part of this problem.If you want to check out this innovative new start-up KiwiSaver fund manager, visit www.kourawealth.co.nz _________________________________________Like what you’ve heard?You can really help with the success of the NZ Everyday Investor by doing the following:1- Tell your friends!2- Write a review on Facebook, or your favourite podcast player3- Help support the mission of our show on Patreon by contributing here4- Search for The Everyday Investor on YouTube5- Sign up to our newsletter hereNZ Everyday Investor is on a mission to increase financial literacy and make investing more accessible for the everyday person!__________________________________________________________________Where to find Darcy Ungaro:Ungaro &Co (registered) financial advisersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFinServ/?ref=bookmarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ungaro.co.nz/

Rupert Carlyon from Koura Wealth joins me to discuss.Before we talk about what's wrong with KiwiSaver, we should point on some good stuff first: - Many Kiwi's are investing again in the share markets rather than just property. Sure, they possibly had no idea that's what they were doing when they joined, but a good result nevertheless. - KiwiSaver is going to decrease the likelihood and magnitude of retirement poverty. It's unlikely government super will be enough, but now with KiwiSaver, there's a growing chance some of us will be in good shape - KiwiSaver is increasing the financial resilience of our country - more investors, more funds floating around in the world from a country who's been acting a bit gun-shy since the '87 share market crashSo the problems? Well...I'm not going to ruin the surprise, you'll just have to listen!Make sure you've subscribed so you will be made aware of the next episode with Rupert and I next week.A bit about Rupert:Rupert has worked in financial service roles his entire career – starting at global investment bank UBS, where he had a slew of roles in London and Auckland. Returning to New Zealand in 2014, Rupert was disappointed to see the KiwiSaver market had not moved on since he left. Seven years on, New Zealanders were still being given the same stock-standard, three-fund offering and he could see that KiwiSaver was not really working for everyone. So he began to look internationally, at companies and technologies that were doing retirement investing right. kōura is the result - a way to give kiwis access to the technology and products to help them achieve their financial goals._________________________________________Like what you’ve heard?You can really help with the success of the NZ Everyday Investor by doing the following:1- Tell your friends!2- Write a review on Facebook, or your favourite podcast player3- Help support the mission of our show on Patreon by contributing here4- Search for The Everyday Investor on YouTube5- Sign up to our newsletter hereNZ Everyday Investor is on a mission to increase financial literacy and make investing more accessible for the everyday person!__________________________________________________________________Where to find Darcy Ungaro:Ungaro &Co (registered) financial advisersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFinServ/?ref=bookmarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ungaro.co.nz/

Yes, the Robots are Coming!Clive Fernandes joins me on the podcast today to discuss where digital advice is and what the next steps are on the road to truly artificially intelligent financial advice. The digital advice we are talking about today is not just a streamlined user experience via your banks app - we're talking about a source for unbiased, personalised advice, that can help the everyday Kiwi make better financial decisions.When we imagine the 'new world', it can often be a mixed bag of excitement and also a bit of fear.As two very wise Kiwi philosophers once said..."It is the distant futureThe year 2000The world is quite differentEver since the robotic uprisingOf the late ninetiesThere is no more unhappiness"Flight of the ConchordsPerhaps the 'problems' of the future will no longer exist. Perhaps we won't even care.For some of us the change is not going to happen fast enough, for others, if they knew how much the landscape has already changed they would be genuinely surprised. In the world of the robotic uprising to come, the chaos will re-arrange things in (hopefully ) better way, but there could be some disruption along the way. Current market participants and regulators need to get up to speed in order to protect consumers and foster genuine innovation.As with all the great technology companies of our age like the FAANG group of companies (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google), the primary reason why they have been such a fast success is the ability to scale their business models digitally.Thinking about the worlds financially 'un-reached', who don't have access to financial services (like even a bank account), which is around 1/3 of our population - digital currencies are leveling the playing fields. Banks no longer own the rights to operate in this space - the FIN in fintech is being replaced by the TECH in techfin. Digital will eventually eat the status quo.In New Zealand, there are many providers who make it easy to sign up for KiwiSaver and provide a good level of general information and product advice. That's awesome, but it's kind of one-dimensional.Clive is the founder of National Capital, a new firm that has a mission to reach 1 million Kiwi's with high quality financial advice - ultimately this is advice that will help more people to build wealth that will see them through retirement._________________________________________________________________Like what you've heard?You can really help with the success of the NZ Everyday Investor by doing the following:1- Tell your friends!2- Write a review on Facebook, or your favourite podcast player3- Help support the mission of our show on Patreon by contributing here4-  Search for The Everyday Investor on YouTube5-  Sign up to our newsletter hereNZ Everyday Investor is on a mission to increase financial literacy and make investing more accessible for the everyday person! __________________________________________________________________Where to find Darcy Ungaro:Ungaro &Co (registered) financial advisers https://www.ungaro.co.nzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFinServ/?ref=bookmarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ungaro.co.nz/

What is Invest Now?

What's the problem? For the self-directed investor, there's a bit of work to do in order to access and manage your investments. Accounts with various banks, potentially a share-trading account, a couple of online platforms perhaps. Different credentials to recall and most annoying, AML/ CFT (compliance / ID checks) process to go through each time.What's Invest Now? It's a simple and affordable way to access multiple investment options in one place.Mike Heath joins me on a discussion that we had when I went down to Wellington recently, via Christchurch (no, it's not on the way).These online investment platforms are popping up everywhere it seems - they all work a little different to each other and they serve a different community of DIY investors out there. I'm learning about them at the moment so hopefully, this is of interest to you also:Here are some key 'light-bulb' moments covered in this episode:Often people may be afraid to seek financial advice as they believe they're not smart enough to do so. Seems counter-intuitive, but it does make sense. The reason we need advice is that we don't have all the answers, but often pride can act as our own worst enemy here. We hate to admit it when we don't have the answer.The bulk of New Zealanders are un-served by financial advisers - online platforms like Invest Now provide a very inoffensive and un-daunting access point for many who may be afraid to engage in a face to face encounter with a financial adviser. If there's a need and desire to use an adviser, however, the Invest Now platform can actually now accommodate that too.Mainstream media. Often credibility is bestowed upon advertisers - this is crazy but just because a finance firm during the finance company collapse a decade ago advertised in the Herald, doesn't mean the trust placed in them was justified. Mainstream media can be an excellent platform to increase financial literacy - but this doesn't always occur.Whether it's an online investment platform, KiwiSaver, or another investment product you access through an adviser, often a 'custodian' is used. In this episode, Mike covers how platforms, custodians, fund managers and investments all work together.What's an ETF, a mutual fund, or an index fund?Self-employed people often don't have KiwiSaver but they should. Beyond getting the tax credit however, online platforms like Invest Now offer another alternative way to simulate what's in a KiwiSaver fund.It's great to see online investment platforms grow in popularity - There will likely be much innovation happening in digital advice and robo-advice space in the coming years. Will financial advisers be made redundant as this trend roles on? No, but I do think the role of an adviser needs to change dramatically. Removing friction is what these platforms do well, but the easier it is to get in, the easier it is to get out of investments also - perhaps the biggest strength is also their biggest weakness - enter the new breed of financial advisers._________________________________________________________________Like what you've heard?You can really help with the success of the NZ Everyday Investor by doing the following:1- Tell your friends!2- Write a review on Facebook, or your favourite podcast player3- Help support the mission of our show on Patreon by contributing here4-  Search for The Everyday Investor on YouTube5-  Sign up to our newsletter hereNZ Everyday Investor is on a mission to increase financial literacy and make investing more accessible for the everyday person! __________________________________________________________________Where to find Darcy Ungaro:Ungaro &Co (registered) financial advisers https://www.ungaro.co.nzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/UFinServ/?ref=bookmarksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ungaro.co.nz/

Your willingness and ability to take on risk in your portfolio has a significant effect on how your portfolio performs. However, perceptions of risk can be skewed by overconfidence, affective forecasting errors and other biases. In this episode, Mark Riepe explains how people’s tolerance for risk differs on a cognitive and emotional level, as well as how “risk capacity” is a more objective matter. Tobin McDaniel, Schwab’s SVP of Digital Advice and Innovation, joins Mark to discuss how investors view risk in real-world situations, and how they respond to changing market conditions.
