What 17 Years in the Navy Taught This Adviser About Money

What can a Navy officer teach you about financial advice? Jason Petersen, Managing Partner at Five Financial, shares how military discipline shapes his approach to advice, leadership, and client relationships. He explains why his firm has gone all-in on a market beta investment strategy, arguing that consistent returns, tax efficiency, and low turnover matter more than chasing outperformance. Beyond investing, he highlights where advisers should really focus their time and why most clients care far less about performance than you think. He also makes a strong case for AI adoption in advice, warning that firms who ignore it risk being left behind as efficiency and scalability become critical. His message; control what you can (structure, strategy, and behaviour) and let the market do the rest.

Why institutions are quietly buying Bitcoin

For years, cryptocurrencies had been cast aside as the speculative Wild West of the investment world. But something has quietly shifted in the last two years. That’s according to Global X ETFs Investment Strategist Justin Lin, who argues that the asset class has moved away from its retail-driven origins to become an increasingly institutionalised asset class. While our host, Ally Selby, has long been a sceptic, somehow, Lin convinced her that cryptocurrencies should no longer be seen as the playground for scammers and fraudsters, but a regulated ecosystem with assets worthy of a place in strategic portfolios. Learn why in this episode. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:16 Crypto Goes Institutional 03:02 ETFs and Adoption Drivers 05:06 Market Maturity and Volatility 07:06 Halving Cycle and Volatility 10:06 Bitcoin Value Debate 13:20 Australia vs Global Trends 15:44 Regulation and Market Impact 17:14 Bitcoin vs Ethereum Roles 19:46 What Drives Crypto Prices 23:06 Catalysts and Future Outlook 27:35 Allocation and Final Takeaways 📈 Stocks and ETFs Mentioned: Apple Inc.

Kerr Neilson on oil shocks and why gold will hit $8,000

Kerr Neilson, the legendary contrarian investor behind Platinum, lays out a bold case for why the next decade may belong not to AI darlings. He argues markets are entering a period of profound disruption, pointing to geopolitical fragmentation, war in the Middle East, and fragile global oil supply as long-term threats- warning these forces are reshaping markets. Beyond the macro themes, he offers practical insights for advisers: the dangers of crowded trades, the inefficiencies created by passive investing, and the importance of contrarian thinking in an ETF-dominated world. His message is clear. The biggest opportunities often lie where capital has been scarce. In this episode: 00:00 Why Contrarian Investing Still Works 03:00 Where ETF Crowding Creates Opportunity 06:00 How Oil Shocks Could Reshape Portfolios 08:42 Balancing Gold, Cash And Real Assets 11:20 What Samsung And Platinum Signal 16:10 Where Advisers May Find Mispriced Value 📈 Stocks and ETFs Mentioned: Samsung (KRX: 005930) Impala (JSE: IMP) Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) Sky Metals (ASX: SKY) Valterra Platinum (JSE: VTR) 🎟️ Join us at the Basis Points Boat Party, get your tickets here. ——— CPD Points: This episode is accredited for the following CPD points by the Financial Advice Association of Australia (FAAA). 0.50 Total Hours Knowledge Requirements: Managed Investments (0.50 hour) | Legislated CPD Area: Technical Competence (0.50 hour) Complete the quiz here to claim your points ——— Want more Basis Points?
