Australians love property investment, and for good reason. On today's podcast, host John Deeks is chatting with Andrew Wilson, principal and wealth management specialist at Pitcher Partners Sydney.
This year was meant to be all about ‘value' on the share market: Rising rates were expected to hose down the demand for tech-focused growth stocks and boring old value stocks were meant to shine. It didn't happen. ‘Because', says top adviser Charlie Viola, ‘ the whole debate is rubbish, good companies make good investments that's all there is to it, ‘ Sounds simple. Moreover, it sounds true. We cover: what happened to the long-promised return of value stocks? The need to take some money off the table in the months ahead, timing super contributions and should bank hybrids be classified as shares?

There are some of us that thirst for the adrenaline hit that comes with taking risks, whether it be cliff jumping, skydiving, or making questionable bets on the stock market. This may work for the daredevils among us, but for others, there could be nothing worse than putting their lives (and money) at risk. So where do you sit on the scale from risk-loving to risk-averse? Are you an aggressive investor, with the stomach for volatility and losses in your high-growth journey? Or are you readying for retirement, and need to be more conservative with your cash? Have no fear. Livewire Markets has done the heavy lifting for you. In this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Pitcher Partners' Charlie Viola and Shaw and Partners' Candice Bourke for their top listed product recommendations across three different risk profiles. There really is something in here for everyone. Note: This episode was filmed on Wednesday 22 March 2023.

With more than 280 exchange-traded products listed on the ASX, Livewire is on a mission to learn whether investors, like you, can build the perfect portfolio with listed products alone. A few quick stats for you: Over the past 12 months (to the end of February), the market cap of the Australian ETF market swelled 7.1% to $136.2 billion. The majority of investors' funds are invested in global equities-focused ETFs ($61 billion, down slightly on the prior year). $38 billion is invested in ETFs tracking Aussie equities exposures (up 12% over the past 12 months). Interestingly, investments in fixed income-focused ETFs have skyrocketed more than 22% in that same time period to $19.5 billion. So, how do you decide which products would best help you compound your hard-earned cash? In this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Shaw and Partners' Candice Bourke and Pitcher Partners' Charlie Viola for their go-to funds for both equities and defensive exposures. They also share the biggest mistakes they are seeing in the client portfolios they have inherited over the past 12 months, and their top tips for how investors can make their portfolios work for them (instead of the other way around). And just because you know this anonymous writer loves a little bit of spice, we also asked Charlie and Candice to name a product or fund they believe no longer has a place in investors' portfolios.

In this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Pitcher Partners' Charlie Viola and Shaw and Partners' Candice Bourke to test the exchange-traded fund (ETF) ideas of Livewire readers. They analyse your top-tipped ETFs for 2023. And spoiler alert - there are only two that they agree on. Note: This episode was filmed on Wednesday 22 March 2023.

This episode of the Pharmacy View Podcast features a wonderful conversation between host Scott Carpenter, EVBC and guest Norman Thurecht, Partner, Pitcher Partners. Pitcher Partners is an association of independent full-service accounting, audit and advisory firms with advisory experts from accounting and business sharing insights about issues impacting family-controlled and privately owned businesses, high net-worth individuals, the public sector and NFP organisations. Listen in as in this episode, Scott and Norman delve on the outcomes of analysing data and exploring possibilities utilizing technology in the Pharmaceutical industry. An accountant by trade, Norman developed an interest in Pharmacy in early 2000s. He recounts having used systems and process both within the business and for the clients for the past 20-25 years with the goal of creating benchmarks for clients and the industry as a whole by consolidating data from the proprietary systems. He adds that cloud-based services have been used by the company to consolidate data on need identified basis and to give that back to the Pharmacists as quality information. That said, Norman understands that Pharmacies have idiosyncrasies and because everyone wants to operate business in their own fashion and have control over the outcome, their reports allow for that. He further goes on to talk about the need for balance of the businesses within a core business. Taking packaging facility as an example, he breaks down the nitty-gritties of looking at such ‘business within the business' as a separate entity and being able to justify the need for the same. The goal, he emphasizes, is to drive efficiency. Pharmacists that are traders and are good at merchandizing and marketing do really well in those regards, he adds. As the core for any Pharmacy is health, Norman says that there's an increased need to cater to the numbers around health and not elsewhere.

One widely cited investment statistic is that 90% of portfolio performance comes from asset allocation. The stat originates from a 1986 research paper, Determinants of Portfolio Performance, which asserts that asset allocation trumps security selection and market timing when it comes to portfolio returns. So, in this special Income Series episode of Buy Hold Sell we draw on the asset allocation prowess of Charlie Viola from Pitcher Partners and Hugh Robertson from Centaur Financial. Charlie and Hugh share their views on three asset classes Livewire readers are adding to their portfolios in the year ahead. These award-winning advisers also nominate five of their preferred funds and ETFs for gaining exposure to these asset classes. Plus, we hear about two areas of investment they are choosing to avoid right now. Note: This episode was filmed on Wednesday 22 September 2021.

Several weeks ago we ran an episode with the same topic, where we spoke at length about traditional sources of yield, and reached the conclusion that due to record low rates, in the future investors would need to expose themselves to risk in order to gain returns. Today we look further at the future of income; covering the range of investment options, and the market moves of the week.View the presentation slides here: https://nucleuswealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Finding-income-presso-FINAL.pdfAfter 5 years of falling RBA rates and the fact that income needs are rising against falling “safe” investment returns, what can clients do?Growth was good before March this year, but what now?

Blame Canada! That's where exchange-traded funds (ETF) came from; the inaugural fund, known as Toronto Index Participation Shares (TIPS), listed in 1990 and tracked the country's biggest companies. In 1993 State Street replicated this idea for the S&P 500, and for a long time ETFs were spruiked as a low-cost, core investment. While ETFs now track everything weird and wonderful, today James Whelan of VFS Group and Charlie Viola of Pitcher Partners go back to the basics and offer tips on ASX ETFs for core investments. They include 1) Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF – A widely-used ETF for broad Australian market exposure; 2) iShares S&P 500 ETF - A popular choice for access to U.S. stocks, and 3) ETF Securities Physical Gold ETF - A commodity product riding strong interest in the precious metal. They each also bring one ETF that they expect will generate solid returns for long-term investors. Visit Livewire Markets to access the edited transcript and podcast for this episode. Note: This interview was recorded on 9 September 2020.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are growing rapidly in popularity among Australian investors. The ~240 ETFs on the ASX hold nearly $70 billion in assets. Of course, not all funds are created the same. Like stocks, some of them have been utter duds and delivered poor returns as they track niche parts of the market or due to flawed and complicated methodologies. As the level of adoption and choice increases, so too does the need for high-quality information that can help investors make better choices with ETFs. That's why we've brought together investment advisers James Whalan of VFS Group and Charlie Viola of Pitcher Partners. They discuss how to navigate the world of ETFs, what to look for in individual funds and how they use them in portfolios. They also each nominate the ASX-listed ETF they would hold if they had only a single choice of fund. Visit Livewire Markets to access the video and edited transcript for this episode. Note: This interview was recorded on 9 September 2020.
Search queries for exchange-traded funds (ETF) have exploded in 2020, especially on the back of COVID-19. The number of people seeking information on Google for this investment vehicle has popped 88% from this time last year, and queries such as "Investing in ETFs", "Managed funds vs ETFs" and "Vanguard ETFs" are proving particularly popular. With interest in ETFs abuzz and a strong appetite for growth ideas from readers, Livewire decided it was about time we brought ETFs into the world of Buy Hold Sell. Join Vishal Teckchandani as he talks to investment advisers Charlie Viola of Pitcher Partners and James Whelan from VFS Group. They sit down to discuss three ASX ETFs which have been delivering sizzling returns in 2020 and then bring four of their own ASX and global ideas offering strong prospects for capital growth right now. Together, we cover hot thematics including healthcare, China, gold, robotics, 5G, US tech and a better way to play Aussie equities than simply buying the ASX 200. Visit Livewire Markets to access the video and edited transcript for this episode as well as more great insights. Note: This episode was recorded on 9 September 2020.

If you want to get better at something, it makes sense to learn from the experts. This is as true about learning to play the piano, as it is with managing your money. As you'll find out, financial advice isn't just something reserved for the wealthiest 1%. On this episode of the Pocket Money podcast, we are joined by Charlie Viola, an award-winning financial adviser and Partner for Wealth Management at Pitcher Partners in Sydney. Charlie really knows this stuff in and out. We discuss what financial advisers really do, how to decide when you should speak with one, plus what to expect when you meet, and how much it all costs. We also learn Charlie’s perspective on what high-net-worth individuals do with their money, some insight on investing, and more great insight.

We live in an anti-establishment world and accountants are perhaps the thread that ties the establishment together, so we need to be aware.
