And social and corporate governance level. For this topic, host Andrew Baxter has called in long-time friend and fund manager from Russel Investments, James Harwood. James manages over $7B of client funds to which $3B of that is invested in ESG funds and has a huge reputation in the financial services industry with a strong track record. 

In Australia, the materials and mining stocks make up around 20% of our market. Thus, finding ESG stocks that are likely to perform well is a harder task than what most would first think. As a relatively new sector of the stock market.The ESG investing continues to grow in demand. As more and more investors become environmentally and socially aware. And leaving this one of the best performing sectors in markets over the last 5 years.

Now due to the rise of globalisation. And what happens across the world offshore in one economy. And can have major consequences locally in another economy. As host Andrew Baxter says – this wasn’t always the case. Once upon a time here in Australia our main export was wool. And really our only trading partner was the UK. 50 or so years ago. Also, it was a narrow channel. And we didn’t really care what was going on elsewhere given it had no real impact on us. How times have changed, right? ]]> 2022-05-25 09:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbaxter045/Bookmarks/wish/2199145551 How to Overcome Guilt with Spending Money andrewbaxter045 https://padlet.com/andrewbaxter045/Bookmarks/wish/2207301810 We’ve all had experiences in our life pertaining to money. Stemming from when we were children. Our core values around spending, budgeting and money overall is formed. As a result of what we see from our parents. And how we view our friends and what we are taught in school. Maybe you grew up with a lot of money, or maybe you had none. However host Andrew Baxter says a common feeling around money is the guilt of spending it. We’ve all got hang ups around money being such an emotive object. Nonetheless, it’s using such emotion in a positive way to overcome these feelings. And treat the greenback boogie more objectively. ]]> 2022-06-01 09:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbaxter045/Bookmarks/wish/2207301810 Oil Prices Are Soaring: Why? - Money and Investing with Andrew Baxter andrewbaxter045 https://padlet.com/andrewbaxter045/Bookmarks/wish/2214753811 What’s the Story with Oil So Far?
To put this into perspective for you right from the get-go. And the price of oil has crossed above $86 a barrel for the first time in nearly 4 years. As it’s added on nearly 20% since the start of September. Now, we’re paying nearly $2/litre at the bowser just to fill our cars up given increased fuel prices. Also putting a lot of stress on household budgets. 
Host Andrew Baxter attributes the soaring oil prices to the very tight balance of supply and demand. With OPEC (AKA the governing body for oil producers) limiting supply. And a coal shortage in China and India plus an increasing energy demand for travel and heating. Also, for those in the northern hemisphere entering into the colder months. And you’ve got a situation where the demand for oil is far greater than supply. Also, the ramping prices up to multi-year highs. In something that may seem relatively short-term and trivial. And it’s the broader economic affect that’s the scary part.
