In this episode of the Defence Property Podcast, co-hosts Liam Garman and Kane Dury, director and lead buyer's agent at Discover Buyers Agency, explore the unique challenges and advantages Australian Defence Force (ADF) members face in property investment as they often relocate. Due to frequent relocations, ADF life complicates traditional home ownership but also offers exposure to various markets nationwide, with the duo suggesting that investors begin with clear investment goals and use available defence benefits like the Defence Home Ownership Assistance Scheme (DOHAS) and Home Purchase Assistance Scheme (HPAS). ADF members also benefit from rental assistance, making ownership more financially viable than it may be for civilians, while flexibility in relocation allows them to target emerging property markets. Dury said that a common strategy involves buying a home, living in it to meet benefit requirements, then converting it into a rental when posted elsewhere. The duo stresses the value of professional advice to navigate complex deals and optimise outcomes, suggesting ADF members take action, leverage their benefits, and invest strategically to build wealth through property. For more key strategies to build a successful portfolio, listen to Kane Dury here. Do you need more information on the market conditions surrounding Australia's largest defence bases?

This podcast episode features the fourth panel session of the day at our Artemis ILS NYC 2025 conference, which was held on February 7th in New York City. ILS NYC 2025 was Artemis' eighth catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference held in-person in New York and saw more than 425 registered attendees enjoying insightful debates from our expert speakers, as well as valuable networking opportunities throughout the day. Attendees from across the globe assembled to hear thought-provoking insights from insurance-linked securities (ILS) market leaders, all under the theme of "Capturing opportunities (established & new)." Our next audio from the ILS NYC 2025 conference features the fourth panel discussion of the day, which was focused on the emerging casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) market where investors are accessing the returns of longer-tailed casualty insurance risks. The panel discussion was moderated by John Seo, Co-Founder, Managing Director, Fermat Capital Management. He was joined by: David Ni, Chief Strategy Officer, Enstar Group; Andras Bohm, Head of U.S. Capital Solutions & Advisory, BMS Group; Amy Stern, Chief Executive, Reinsurance, Ledger Investing; and Bob Forness, CEO, MultiStrat Group. While casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) may seem nascent to some, the market has been in development for a number of years now. The panellists set the scene and explained what this segment of the ILS asset class is, as well as why casualty risks can be attractive investments. This panel discussed the evolution and potential of the casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, forecasting an opportunity to grow the segment from an estimated $3-4 billion current base to potentially exceeding $10 billion by 2026. Key points in the discussion included the shift from catastrophe-focused ILS to casualty ILS, driven by improvements to the infrastructure of the ILS market, as well as investor interest in accessing new classes of insurance risk.  The casualty ILS market's growth is largely attributed to risk sourced through whole account quota shares, which the panel said enable stable, diversified portfolios to be constructed for investors.  The discussion also highlighted the importance of exit solutions to provide investor certainty of liquidity, the need for strong partnerships, and that underwriting discipline is key to manage risks and ensure sustainable growth of the casualty ILS space. Listen to the full podcast episode of this casualty insurance-linked securities (ILS) focused panel discussion at ILS NYC 2025, for unique insights into the developing casualty ILS market, what investors need to know about this asset class, and how cedents can benefit from access to efficient capacity from the capital markets.

Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

My guest today is Cliff Sosin. Cliff is the founder of CAS Investment Partners, a fund he started with $5 million in 2012 and has grown to $1.7 billion as of the last reported numbers at the end of 2024. At the time, CAS had only four positions. This conversation is different to our typical episodes. We start by talking about Cliff's investing philosophy but the bulk of this long discussion is a case study into his remarkable investment in Carvana. Cliff is one of the biggest investors in the business, which had a market cap over $60 billion in 2021, then fell 99%, survived, and now has a market cap approaching $50 billion again. While I hosted Carvana's CEO, Ernie Garcia, last year to get the inside perspective on managing through such turbulence, today we hear the investor's side of this extraordinary story. It is a singular episode and there are so many lessons in this rare opportunity to hear a major investor describe his decision-making process at every stage of the journey. Please enjoy my great conversation with Cliff Sosin.

Chase Taylor of Pine Cone Macro is back to break down the mess that is U.S. trade policy and what it means for markets. We talk about whether Trump's tariffs are pushing us toward recession, why China's fiscal discipline might actually be a strength, and where smart investors should be looking outside the U.S. Chase walks through opportunities in Greece, Brazil, and Chile, and we take a step back to talk about how capital flows and political risk are reshaping global investing. Plus, we nerd out about frontier markets—and yes, a little bit about NBA playoffs too.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(00:32) - NBA Playoffs and Initial Discussion(01:18) - Tariff Vice and Economic Concerns(02:07) - Impact of Tariffs on US Economy(07:34) - Recession Fears and Employment Data(09:58) - Trump's Trade Policies and Market Reactions(17:38) - China's Economic Strategies and Stimulus(28:29) - Investment Opportunities in Europe(30:00) - Investment Opportunities in Europe and Brazil(30:51) - Challenges and Risks in Brazil and Turkey(32:19) - Overseas Investing: Macro Tailwinds and Policy(33:32) - Turnaround Stories in Emerging Markets(34:44) - The Potential of Frontier Markets(38:08) - Geopolitical Insights and North Korea(45:34) - Agricultural Commodities and Market Trends(49:43) - The Dollar's Impact on Trade and Investments(52:03) - NBA Trades and the Cleveland Cavaliers(55:46) - Podcast Conclusion and Contact Information--Referenced: Pine Cone Macro: https://www.pineconemacro.com/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.
