In this episode of Ghost Stories, Nico Katzke (Head of Portfolio Solutions at Satrix) joined me to unpack a wide variety of investment topics.

There is something in here for literally everyone, with numerous insights available to you in this detailed discussion.

We covered topics like:

• A brief overview of why 2022 was so hard for investors.
• The difference between growth and value investing, explained in a way you likely haven’t heard before.
• The VIX and the DXY and why these market metrics are useful in practice.
• The disappointment of gold over this period.
• Equity investing in the context of higher rates in the market, both over the short- and long-term.
• Being careful of the growth component that is found in most leading indices.
• The relative outlook for value vs. growth.
• Artificial Intelligence as a theme and the potential disruption of Google.
• Achieving real diversification through suitable portfolio allocation.
• The importance of consistently investing over a long period of time.
• The misconception of active vs. passive investing and how passive should rather be thought of as “rules-based” investing.
