    What’s the the best way to invest in AI? A financial adviser teaches me.

    Everyone says they want to invest in AI... but what should you actually buy? Do you buy Nvidia? An AI ETF? The Nasdaq? Or are you already getting AI exposure through the investments you own? After hearing about AI infrastructure and wondering whether she'd missed the semiconductor boom, Jess found herself asking the same question many beginner investors face: where do you even start? This week, Jess is joined by Owen Raszkiewicz, Financial Adviser at Rask and host of The Australian Finance Podcast, to unpack the different ways investors can get exposure to AI, helping you understand what you're really buying and how to choose the approach that's right for you. Plus, Owen answers a community question from Liam about adding AI exposure to a satellite portfolio.
