Podcasts about money matters

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat open the show with a look at the Magnificent Seven stocks. Is this tech dominance a warning sign or just the new market normal? They unpack what this concentration means for index investors and why historical perspective matters. Next, they take a call from a 56-year-old tech professional navigating a surprise layoff and considering early retirement. With over $2M in assets and plans to relocate, they walk through whether he can afford to stop working—or if some part-time income is essential. It's a timely breakdown of early retirement math, real estate moves, and RSU liquidation strategy. The episode wraps with two strong planning discussions: a state employee navigating Roth vs. traditional 401(k)/457 contributions, and a retiree using a "bucket strategy" who wants feedback on portfolio structure. Scott and Pat debate risk tolerance, rebalancing, and why flexibility is key in retirement income planning. If you're exploring early retirement, weighing Roth contributions, or fine-tuning your investment drawdown plan—this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Singapore shares moved higher today, tracking gains seen in the region. The Straits Times Index was up 1.4% at 4,478.76 points at 2.02pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$1.75B seen in the broader market. In terms of counters to watch, we have DBS. The Singapore lender posted today a net profit for the third quarter ended Sep 30, 2025, that declined 2 per cent to S$2.95 billion, compared with S$3.03 billion in the same year-ago period. Elsewhere, from what a jump in US private payrolls and scepticism over the legality of US President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs mean for investors, to how shares of Chinese self-driving startups Pony.AI and WeRide tumbled on their Hong Kong debuts, more international and corporate headlines remained in focus.

Fashion is an art, but it is also big business. And our guest for today H&M Group has proven that the two can coexist at scale. Since opening its first store nearly eight decades ago in 1947, the Swedish fashion giant has evolved to a network of over 4,000 stores across 79 markets, with online sales available in 60 markets. The company prides itself on a simple promise: making great and sustainable designs available to everyone. Fast forward to 2025, and H&M is seeing strong momentum. In September, the firm reported a bigger than expected rise in third-quarter profit. Operating profit from June to August came in at 4.91 billion Swedish crowns (or about US$523 million). That’s up from the 3.51 billion seen a year ago, and well above the 3.68 billion crowns forecasted by analysts in an LSEG poll. The numbers come as CEO Daniel Erver embarked on an overhaul of the brand to improve profitability through trendier collections, tighter cost controls and a refreshed marketing strategy. But even as H&M celebrates its early success, the broader business environment is shifting. US tariffs are weighing on imports to and consumption within the US – the retailer’s second largest market after Germany. So how far would that make Asia a bright spot for growth for H&M, and how does H&M intend to compete with other big name players such as Inditex’s Zara, Fast Retailing’s Uniqlo and even e-commerce first players like Shein and Temu? And perhaps more importantly – which Asian markets hold the greatest promise for the next chapter of H&M’s growth given China’s uneven economic recovery? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Saed El-Achkar, President H&M East Asia & Greater China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, we dive into one of the most eventful weeks of the year for investors. Five of the “Magnificent Seven” tech leaders, the companies that have been powering this bull market, reported earnings, and the results did not disappoint. Their strength helped push the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to new all-time highs, even as much of the market lagged behind. We break down the key takeaways from each major report, highlight which companies continue to justify their valuations, and discuss where we may start to see cracks forming beneath the surface. Despite a federal government shutdown, investor sentiment remains surprisingly strong thanks in part to the Federal Reserve finally cutting interest rates this week. Join us as we analyze how the combination of big tech dominance, monetary policy shifts, and political gridlock is shaping market leadership and investor behavior heading into the next quarter. Whether you're an active trader or a long-term investor, this episode will help you understand what's really driving market momentum and where the risks may be hiding.

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat tackle three critical financial planning decisions for high-net-worth investors. First, they break down whether it's better to self-insure for long-term care or rely on costly, often restrictive hybrid policies.

Then, they dive into how to finance a vacation home wisely—weighing the risks of portfolio loans, capital gains exposure, and over-leveraging in retirement. You'll also hear a sharp analysis of gold's recent surge—and why emotional investing often backfires.

Tokenisation – or the process of turning real-world assets into digital tokens – has moved from concept to reality in recent years. According to DBS Research, the tokenisation of real-world assets is at an inflection point towards exponential growth, with the market capitalisation of real-world asset tokens growing from virtually nothing five years ago to over US$25 billion as of August 2025. That figure is expected to rise further, with McKinsey estimating that the total tokenised market capitalisation could hit about US$2 trillion by the end of the decade. Trends driving the numbers include growing institutional adoption of digital assets, as well as increased regulatory clarity globally. Back home, the first Singapore dollar-backed stablecoin was also launched in September 2025, with reserves held with DBS Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. But what are the growth opportunities for the tokenisation of real-world assets and what does it mean for financial institutions like DBS? In this “On the Go” Special episode of “Under the Radar”, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian headed down to DBS’ Headquarters at Marina Bay Financial Centre to find out what’s next for the industry and how the bank is capitalising on the trend.
