Podcasts about LICS

27 May 2025 - The structure and portfolio advantages of investing in LICs.

Listed Investment Companies (LICs) have a devoted following within the long-term investing community. However, conversations on social media and podcasts often focus on exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Of course, no asset is going to be perfect for EVERY investor, as goals and preferences change between people. However, along with a range of other investing vehicles, the Get Rich Slow Club believes there's a lot to like about LICs.That's why Tash is thrilled to host Geoff Driver, General Manager of Australian Foundation Investment Company (AFIC). Join the two of them as they discuss all things LIC!This episode of the Get Rich Slow Club is proudly sponsored by AFIC.@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it's appropriate for you.

You've been offered a new job with better pay and less stress. But here's the catch: leaving your current role means giving up employee shares that might make you a millionaire one day. So… what would you do? We’re unpacking the emotional rollercoaster of choosing between short-term peace and long-term potential, why golden handcuffs are very real, and what we’d do if we were in her shoes (spoiler alert, we didn’t all agree). We also introduce you to LICs — ETFs' more mysterious (and slightly riskier) cousin — and unpack whether they deserve a spot in your portfolio. Plus the usual chaos, unfiltered opinions, and broke hacks you didn’t ask for but you’re getting anyway. Ready for more laughs, lessons, and unhinged money chats?

In investing, every basis point counts. Keeping costs low is one of the simplest ways to boost long-term returns, and some of the best-performing ETFs and LICs charge less than 0.10% in annual fees, proving that strong performance doesn't always come with a high price tag. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, we're going bottom-fishing for the cheapest funds on the ASX. Joining us to break down the best rock-bottom-fee strategies are Charlie Viola from Viola Private Wealth and Adam Dawes from Shaw and Partners. Are these low-cost funds worth the hype? Let's find out.

A winning portfolio is like a championship team; star players in attack, rock-solid defense, and steady hands at the helm. In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Livewire's Vishal Teckchandani calls on selectors Adam Dawes (Shaw and Partners) and Charlie Viola (Viola Private Wealth) to draft the ultimate lineup of listed investments. With nine ETFs and LICs - five chosen by Vishal plus two wildcards from each expert - they're hunting for the Ricky Pontings and Emma McKeons of the ASX. Whether you seek growth, resilience, or cash flow, they've got you covered. Watch, read, or listen below to find your portfolio's MVPs.

This podcast has spoken about ETFs – or exchange-traded funds – on many occasions. A kind of all-in-one investment, ETFs seek to track a particular index, commodity, sector, or basket of assets. In recent years, they've become popular with long-term investors who wish to diversify in one buy.Okay, ETFs – we get those. But what about LICs, or Listed Investment Companies? If you read about both, they can seem quite similar; in fact, many people refer to both LICs and ETFs as baskets of assets. In truth, though, LICs and ETFs have some marked differences. And depending on your investment goals, one may suit you in ways that the other doesn't.Worry not, for after this episode, you'll have a clearer idea of which is right for you!@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it's appropriate for you.

Recorded at CEPR Paris Symposium 2023: How can macroeconomics (and macroeconomists) contribute to what we know about development policy?  The availability of better data has given fresh impetus to the use of macroeconomic models to explain the development process in LICs. Doug Gollin and Paula Bustos talk to Tim Phillips about this emerging agenda, what questions it is helping to answer, and the challenges of the next generation of research. 

In this episode, Nancy Jacklin sits down with Siddharth Tiwari, former Executive Secretary of the G20 Eminent Persons Group and Head of Operations in the African Department for the IMF. They discuss the IMF's evolving relationship to low income countries and what the IMF is doing in terms of capacity-building and policy support for LICs.

During the 2022-2023 admission cycle, about 22,700 students enrolled in medical school in the United States. In this country alone, we have 154 medical schools offering an MD program. Many of these schools are actively working to incorporate modern learning principles into their structure. It's all a part of a larger goal to align the forces affecting the delivery of care with educational priorities. Over time, comprehensive care has become a widely accepted standard for modern medicine; it puts positive patient outcomes at the forefront. That's why creating those environmental opportunities are crucial to medical students as they prepare for a long career at the bedside. A Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship, or LIC, is a clinical curriculum in which students participate in the comprehensive care of patients over time. “LIC students have been found to experience lasting improvements in their patient centeredness, in their empathy, and also student satisfaction is higher,” says Amy Grover, MD, an assistant professor of pediatrics and pediatric hospital medicine.   Patient-student relationships are at the heart of LICs. We see these across the scope of medical education worldwide, but there is something unique about the LIC model here at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Grover is a guest on today's episode, along with Meghan Treitz, MD, an associate professor of pediatrics and general pediatrics, and Margie Rodgers, an LIC coordinator. “One of the advantages of this model is students get exposure to the clinical world earlier and also at the end of their second year have had exposure to all of the core disciplines so planning for residency and career is actually made a little bit easier,” Dr. Treitz says.   Some highlights from this episode include: What an LIC is and how it works The advantages of an LIC curriculum compared to other medical education practices How students learn every discipline through an LIC in a pediatric hospital setting Stories about unique patient care experiences from students  Articles referenced in the podcast:  Hirsh DA, Ogur B, Thibault GE, Cox M.

Let me apologise upfront for all the banging you can hear during the episode. My neighbour was having a new roof fitted during the recording. Simplifying the complex world of investment with Ian Irvine from the Listed Investment Companies and Trusts Association (LICAT). We attempt to use similes, comparisons and analogies to explain the nitty-gritty of investing. For example, imagine the ASX200 as a Lego castle. The bigger company, the more blocks they contribute to the index. Inflows and outflows can drastically alter the size of an ETF like a balloon expanding and contracting. LICs are more like a Lego castle with a fixed number of blocks.Blog post available at: https://www.sharesforbeginners.com/blog/irvineaug23Tony Kynaston is a multi-millionaire professional investor thanks to the QAV checklist he developed.

This week we're talking about what the CCP and TRS share price movements mean for the economy, the wheat price, the ‘year of the bond', the difference between ETFs and LICs, and we have our interview with listener Brent Sweeney who recently attended the Berkshire Hathaway AGM in Omaha, Nebraska!

Access to income-generating investment opportunities has grown exponentially in the past two decades. Long gone are the days when investors could only invest in high-yield dividend stocks to generate suitable returns. That was a bit like buying a chicken for its eggs – and hoping that the chicken didn't cark it in the meantime. Today there are myriad products to complement stocks, including LICs and LITs, ETFs, hybrids, and managed funds – the latter of which span the global investment universe. But with so much choice, how are investors to decide which opportunities might be useful for them? Fortunately, we've engaged two financial advisers – David Lane from Ord Minnett and Hugh Robertson from Centaur Financial Services – to share which products they like and why, as part of Livewire's 2023 Income Series. For a bit of extra spice, they also share a product that they no longer believe has a place in income investors' portfolios. Note: This episode was filmed on Wednesday 14 June 2023.

On the Money Café this week, Evan Lucas and Stephen Mayne list the indicators worrying them about the looming economic storm and why the Fair Work Commission's decision wasn't particularly fair. Also: the ASX and CHESS, migration and a Ponzi scheme, PwC, a history lesson on non-farm payrolls, benchmark rates, progressive taxes, and our biggest LICs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're talking about how to tackle inflation as an active investor. We also deal with a question on discounted Listed Investment Companies which - believe it or not - leads us towards the Taylor Swift school of investing.  It turns out Taylor takes tips from her ex-Merrill Lynch stockbroker dad, Scott - and she seeks out discounted closed-end mutual funds. The ASX version of this investment is discounted LICs - but are they for you? We also cover: Optimising your cash to tackle inflation, gearing at a time of high-interest rates, and getting to the bottom of family trusts.  Financial adviser Bruce Brammal joins The Australian's Wealth Editor James Kirby on this week's episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listed Investment Companies (or LICs, for short) were here long before Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and continue to form a bedrock in many retiree portfolios. Around $50 billion was held inside LICs at the end of February 2023. Popular LICs include those from Argo, AFIC, Wilson Asset Management, BKI, MFF Capital and others. Welcome to this episode of The Australian Investors Podcast where we dive into LICs. Experienced investment analyst Owen Rask and financial planner Drew Meredith, CFP spend 20 minutes purely focused on covering everything you need to know about LICs.

We're back with another Q&A! In today's episode Dev unpacks questions about:

You may have heard of stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and listed-investment companies (LICs), but what exactly are these options and how do they differ? In this Bitesize, Alec and Bryce define the terms for you - so you won't ever be confused again!Stocks represent ownership in individual companies. When you invest in stocks, you become a shareholder in that company and have an interest in its success. Historically, stocks have been one of the best-performing asset classes, but they are also known for their volatility.An ETF is a basket of securities, such as stocks or bonds, that trade on an exchange like a stock. When you invest in an ETF, you are buying a share of the entire portfolio, rather than investing in individual securities. This diversification helps to mitigate risk in your portfolio, and is one of the reasons ETFs have become increasingly popular.LICs, also known as closed-end funds in America, are similar to ETFs in that they offer diversification by investing in a portfolio of securities. However, LICs are actively managed, which means they are managed by a professional fund manager who makes decisions about which securities to buy and sell.Listen (or watch) the full episode here:Website | Apple | SpotifyMake sure you don't miss anything about Equity Mates – visit this page if you want to support our work.Want more Equity Mates?

Renee Condylis is a senior financial adviser at Perpetual, working with high-net-worth families, individuals and clients. In this Australian Investors Podcast episode with Owen Rask, Renee is given a case study of a couple, Lois and Clark, who want to retire comfortable while also exiting their business. You'll find the full case below. GET IN TOUCH WITH RENEE ON LINKEDIN ** CASE STUDY ** Lois (59) and Clark (62) Kent live in Parramatta, NSW. They have a $550,000 mortgage and 2 kids (17 and 24). Lois a journalist earning $110,000 + Super and Clark runs a private security business, Super Protection Ptd Ltd, estimated to be worth $5 million (based on 2x sales or 10x profit). The couple has approximately $1 million outside of Super (in a smattering of unlisted funds, LICs and a few ETFs and stocks), plus $210,000 for Lois and $240,000 for Clark in Super. Clark believes he is a high-risk investor, and currently manages a portfolio of funds and ETFs. Lois thinks she is more conservative-to-balanced but Clark convinced her to go high-risk inside Super and she's happy with the decision. The only major goal they have is wanting to retire within 10 years, being self-funded and debt free. They're not too worried about leaving much to their children, but would like to give back regularly and support their children with their first home and/or weddings when the time comes (probably in the next 4 years). They'd also like to travel modestly every few years.  ASK A QUESTION for the podcast: https://bit.ly/3QtiY00 J.P.

We speak with Yacob Mulugetta, from UCL and also Partnership Lead of the Climate Compatible Growth Program (CCG) about the role of e-mobility in a just transition to greener transport systems and the link between future development of LICs and future energy systems. The episode also asks who should financially support LICs in the bid to adapt and mitigate against climate change when their contribution to transport emissions has been historically low compared to the rest of the world.  LinksE-MOBILITY IN LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES IN AFRICA: Finance, Governance, and EquityLearn more at transport-links.com

"I wouldn't touch an ETF with a barge pole!" Excuse me… what?  Peter Thornhill is the founder of Motivated Money and is one of Australia's biggest investing legends. He retired in his early 50s with $400k in annual dividends, and did so in a manner entirely opposite to how the rest of Australia invests.  Peter believes that investing is about being the custodian of capital, earning income from it, and passing it on to the next generation. He's a huge proponent of investing in LICs, and has a very strong argument for why we should we should ditch what he calls "the led in the saddle" and only invest in industrials.  Oh, and he also isn't into investing in property. In this episode, Aleks and Peter chat about: Why he doesn't go for the highest yield, and why yield is an arbitrary number How he retired on $400k in dividends Which sectors he believes don't perform His argument against property investment, and his strategy for recycling property debt into the stock market How we can optimise out tax Why he only writes when he has something to say You can read about what exactly it is that Peter has to say in his My Say column.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Cause area proposal: International Macroeconomic Policy, published by arushigupta on August 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Thanks to the many people who gave us their feedback as we wrote this. This is a very shallow investigation; we have no particular expertise in the topic or in research, and wrote this report over the course of 2 days. We welcome any feedback and hope to see further discussion/investigation from others with more expertise. Introduction: Open Philanthropy should investigate as a new cause area the potential of equitable international/multilateral macroeconomic policy. This would increase the financial resources available to developing countries by allowing them to retain more of the value of their current financial activity, and to then re-invest that value in their economic growth. The negative flow of money from economies in Low and low middle-income countries is well documented— they are estimated to have lost more than $383B in resources in outflows to developed countries in 2012, dwarfing the $68B in aid they took in during that year. The sources of these outflows included: illicit financial flows, tax loss, lending, debt repayments, and profits repatriated by foreign investors. We think that there should be more discussion of international macroeconomic policy and norms within EA— i.e. economic practices that affect/involve multiple countries, or institutions that impose policy multilaterally. These include international trade policies, tax policy, intellectual property policy, and conditions created by the IMF and World Bank and tracked by the WTO. We posit that better economic outcomes might be achieved by researching and advocating for policies that help developing countries retain more financial resources, benefit more from the market value they create through interacting with international markets, and prevent that value from inequitably escaping local markets. How this differs from Open Philanthropy's existing work: We believe there has been limited consideration for this type of cause within the effective altruism community so far. While there have been ongoing discussions on the forum about macroeconomic policy in developing countries as a potential focus area (perhaps most famously in Hillebrandt and Halstead's Growth and the case against randomista development, one of the forum's most popular ever posts), these discussions have primarily focused on changing government & market behavior within the developing countries themselves. The most relevant work includes Open Philanthropy's funding supporting macroeconomic policy in the US and Europe (which has received recent criticism), and their new program on global aid advocacy, which hasn't announced any grants yet but is considering, amongst other tactics, “expanding access to capital or helping to reduce debt burdens, e.g. by supporting governments in negotiating more favorable terms from development finance loans.” While we're very excited about the areas that the global aid advocacy program is considering, they don't appear to include the work we propose here (ex. they're considering helping reduce debt burdens by supporting governments to negotiate favorable terms, rather than considering tactics like pushing for IMF reforms). The current problem: According to one report from 2014, low-income countries (LICs) lost 18% of their GDP to extralegal financial flows that year, interest payments on foreign debt, etc. We were only able to conduct shallow research, however we have found some compelling examples of differential market forces: Developing countries lost $16.3 trillion USD to leakages in cross-border financial transactions and payments between 1980 and 2012.

How do we encourage small farmers to adopt new types of seeds in LICs? Government agents can help spread the word – but Kyle Emerick of Tufts University tells Tim Phillips that the dealers who sell the seeds might be an under-used resource.

Land Installment Contracts (LICs) are a dangerous rent-to-own scheme that can leave potential homebuyers in the lurch instead of leading to homeownership. Although not a new kind of agreement, LICs have proliferated in Memphis in the wake of the foreclosure crisis, after which many single-family homes were purchased by large out-of-town investors. This week, Dr. Andrew Guthrie from the University of Memphis Dept. of City and Regional Planning visits the program to discuss some research he and U of M colleagues are undertaking around the impact of LICs on Memphis families and neighborhoods. Later in the program, regular commentator and housing expert Austin Harrison returns to talk about what's happening around LICs in other parts of the U.S., in terms of both research and activism. Further information A Memphis Mirage: How Home Mortgage Alternatives and Increased Equity Firm Ownership Diminish Wealth in Low-Income Communities” by Wade Rathke (founder of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and Diné Butler examines how large equity firms diminished home wealth in low-income neighborhoods in Memphis and the nation in the years following the Great Recession. White paper from the Hooks Institute. United Housing. For help or resources if you think you have or are being offered a land installment contract.

'Buying a dollar for 80 cents' is an old investing cliche that's rarely taken literally these days. In a bygone era, 'net-nets' - stocks trading below the value of their net tangible assets - were a relatively common occurrence. Some investors built their whole portfolios (or careers) around them. But finding them today is easier said than done.  When dealing with listed investment companies and listed investment trusts (LICs) though, buying a dollar for 80 cents is commonplace. In fact, according to Daryl Wilson from Affluence Funds Management, buying at a discount should be central to the strategy.   Not only is it possible to pick up assets at a discount, but "the quality of managers is tremendous," says Daryl.  In this episode of The Rules of Investing podcast, we take a deep dive into the world of LICs. We cover the basics and some common jargon, how to pick a great LIC and some common pitfalls to avoid, and Daryl shares some of his favourite LICs in the market today.  Visit Livewire Markets here for a full transcript of the interview. 

When Alex Waislitz started his private investment company, Thorney Investment Group, back in 1991, he was a dyed-in-the-wool value investor. Having learned the craft from the legendary entrepreneur Robert Holmes à Court, who was Australia's first billionaire, his focus was on being a thorn (hence, ‘Thorney') in the side of “sleepy” management teams. This approach helped him unlock hidden value and underappreciated assets and propelled him to the realms of the AFR Rich List. But rather than becoming stuck in his ways, in recent years, Waislitz has expanded his range of skills. After developing an interest in innovative growth companies, he launched Thorney Technologies in 2016, which invests in companies across the technology lifecycle. In FY21, it was one of the best performing LICs on the ASX, with share price appreciation north of 65%. In this special episode of The Rules of Investing, we hear about the formative years of his investment career and how he developed the strategy that's been so successful, how he's taking a 'picks and shovels' approach to investing in digital currencies, and he tells us about two Aussie small caps - an undervalued turnaround, and an innovative company with a large addressable market.

On board today is a frequent FI-er and a bit of a celebrity in the Australian Financial Independence community, Dave from Strong Money Australia! Dave and his partner are a regular Aussie couple from Perth, who maintained a healthy savings rate and regime of property investing over a ten year period. One day they discovered that if they moved some equity from their investment properties into dividend producing index funds and LICs, that they could completely cover their cost of living. A few years ago this pivot let them reach Financial Independence and Retire Early at the insane age of only 28! Dave writes about his experience with Early Retirement on his blog Strong Money Australia, as well as co-hosting the popular 'Fire and Chill' podcast with Pat Seyrak. Dave has been a major influence on my own Financial Independence journey, and I am thrilled to invite him onto the show.

Financial Independence gives you the choice to direct your time and energy into the things that you truly value, rather than the things that don't (like working that 9 to 5 grind...). Episode two of the podcast explores Captain FI's personal investing strategy. This covers maxing out my superannuation and regularly investing in ultra low fee stock market index fund ETFs and low fee stock market LICs. I discuss my path to discovering the Financial Independence community and the effect it had on my investing strategy and mindset.
