Welcome to The Female Investors Project - trailer

Spoiler alert.. I don't think its a good idea.  So, backstory, I had a couple people ask about portfolio simulators and whether they are a good way to learn about investing and prepare to actually start investing.. and my answer is always that the best way to learn about investing is doing it. Sure, do your research, get the basics down pat but if you get the basics, stop trying to perfect it for the sake of it.  As a beginner, I highly doubt that you would go into the market all guns blazing and trade on the daily, so why would you do that in a fake portfolio? Especially when your first investment is very unlikely to mimic an investment from a fake portfolio.  Investing will always come with risk, that's why I suggest only starting with money you can afford to lose. So if you can afford to lose the cash, then allow yourself the luxury of participating in the upside. And learn from your mistakes there.  Check out this episode to see what I think of portfolio simulators and how you can use them effectively.  If you have any content you are interested in, hit me up @thefemaleinvestors on Instagram and I can see if it is something I can talk about! ********************* The Female Investors Project is a passion project led by Genevieve Hourigan, and is for entertainment and educational purposes only.

When you're keen to learn about investing, its fun, exciting, and you're just thinking about how much money you're going to make... until you have to tell your tax agent about your investments, or even worse when you're getting letter after letter in your mailbox (yes, your physical one) from the ASX. This episode is to take you through some of the admin things you might not have thought of, but should get on top of, as well as giving you my favourite tips to stay organised about my investments and be absolutely sure I have all the materials I need to stay successful in my investing and in any reporting too.  Below are some resources that may be useful after listening to this episode.  CHESS sponsorship FAQ sheet (from the ASX themselves) P.S. at about minute 15.34 there is an abrupt change in my voice, I forgot to mention something and I needed to re-record late at night before posting loool.

Whether you're new to investing or just sick of only men talking about investing - this podcast is for you.  I love talking about all things money, but there is a special place in my heart for investing. Women are the minority of investors in Australia (and globally), and I believe it's time to change this.  Every second week I will be talking about all things investing and breaking down the hard stuff so you can sit back, learn something, and then apply what is discussed by doing your own research then investing! If you want more, there are already a bunch of episodes ready for you to listen, or you can join me @thefemaleinvestors on Instagram so we can talk more. I hope you're ready to take your investing knowledge to the next level. 

As you trail through a company's details, there is often a lot of focus on management, and rightly so because they are in charge of a company! Right? But who actually is management? The management structure has your executives on one end, and the Board of Directors on the other, that kind of work as a supervisory body to keep executives in check and often can provide some additional expertise and a point of view that management doesn't have.  In this episode I take you through management in a bit me detail and give you an overview of how ASX companies are managed, based on my research and my experience.
