Episode notes
ADVICE

Core-And-Satellite Allocation

  • Use a core-and-satellite approach with a low-cost diversified core ETF and smaller tactical satellite positions.
  • Allocate about half to the core and the rest equally across satellites to balance long-term exposure and short-term ideas.
INSIGHT

All-In Global Equity Core

  • DHHF provides 100% equity exposure and global diversification in one trade for long-term investors.
  • It roughly splits holdings across Australia, the US and the rest of the world for broad market coverage.
ADVICE

Limit Short-Term Satellite Risk

  • Keep satellites 'spicy' but limited because the time horizon is one year; complement them with a strong core.
  • Check and reshuffle satellite holdings quarterly to react to catalysts and market moves.
