Over on our sister podcast, Equity Mates Investing, we've launched a new segment called Pimp my Portfolio. In a nutshell, we're doing to investing portfolios what Xzibit did to cars (explainer for those not old enough to remember)
We get a portfolio from the Equity Mates community, and put it in front of an expert to get their general advice on how the portfolio is constructed and what we could think about to improve it. By doing that we draw out some lessons that we can apply to our own portfolios.
In this episode we feature two Pimp my Portfolio segments. We hope you enjoy.
