  The Income Illusion - Why TD's & One Asset Won't Save You From Inflation.

  Aug 13, 202611 min

  Rob Pizzichetta explains that “real income” in retirement means an income stream that keeps pace with inflation, not just a high nominal yield. Using a term deposit example (5% interest vs 3.5% inflation), he highlights how purchasing power can still shrink when capital is static. He warns that relying on a single income engine—especially residential property—creates structural risk through asset, income-type, and liquidity concentration, compounded by the “baby boomer exit problem” in an illiquid market. He then outlines the Mont Wealth Income Portfolio as a response: a growth and defensive engine with diversified assets and income types, including global property and infrastructure (22%), Australian equities (14%), global equities (12%), private equity (~4.5%), private credit (~19%), domestic fixed income (~13%), global fixed income (~9%), and cash (~5.5%), designed to protect purchasing power and avoid forced selling. 00:00 Real Income Mindset 00:29 Podcast Intro Setup 01:15 Real vs Nominal Income 01:36 Term Deposit Inflation Trap 02:56 Stop Chasing Yield 03:22 Property Retirement Myth 03:56 Liquidity Exit Crunch 05:46 Three-Dimension Diversification 06:22 Portfolio Growth Engine 07:40 Portfolio Defensive Engine 08:38 How The Wheel Works 09:28 Wrap Up Call To Action www.montwealth.com.au

  Love Property Investing? Why Global REITs' 18% FY26 Return Has Further Upside | Julian Campbell-Wood, Resolution Capital

  Aug 6, 202625 min

  Rob Pizzichetta of Mont Wealth speaks with Julian Campbell-Wood, portfolio manager of Resolution Capital Global REITs, reviewing the fund’s ~18% return over 12 months and ~3.5% net alpha versus benchmark. They discuss why global REIT fundamentals look constructive despite higher rates, focusing on rising replacement costs (physical build costs up ~30–40% in 4–5 years plus higher finance costs), moderating new supply, and sector-by-sector rent growth (including seniors housing/healthcare rents growing north of 5%). Julian explains the fund’s bottom-up, sector-led approach emphasizing landlord pricing power, diversified investment-grade REITs, and ~30% portfolio loan-to-value. Portfolio positioning includes overweight housing/healthcare, high-quality retail, selective data centers (favoring retail colocation like Equinix), and residential; underweight some industrial, office, hotels/gaming. Expected income is ~3–3.5% and earnings growth ~6–7% p.a., with key risks being macro demand weakness, an inflation shock, and AI-driven volatility. 00:00 Cash Flow Growth Teaser 00:33 Welcome and Disclaimers 01:05 Fund Performance Review 01:34 Why REITs Rallied 02:18 Replacement Costs Explained 03:14 Rent Growth by Sector 04:14 Supply Shortages and Winners 05:28 Multi Year Tailwinds Ahead 07:11 Retail vs E Commerce Myth 08:37 Seniors Housing Demand Surge 10:05 Inflation Protection Playbook 11:13 How the Fund Invests 14:34 Portfolio Positioning Snapshot 16:45 Data Centers and AI Risk 19:34 US Residential Opportunity 21:08 Income and Return Outlook 22:24 6 to 7 Percent Growth Question 23:07 Key Risks and Closing

  AI Boom vs Dotcom: Macro Signals, CapEx Risks, and Investor Signposts

  Jul 23, 202628 min

  AI Boom vs Dotcom: Macro Signals, CapEx Risks, and Investor Signposts (Gino Rossi on Pizz-Spectives) Rob Pizzichetta (Mont Wealth) interviews Gino Rossi (Vestigo Investments) about markets, macro conditions, and parallels between the AI boom and the dotcom cycle. Rossi explains Vestigo’s 2024 launch, its intergenerational-wealth target investor, and a “discovery” approach focused on under-covered stocks, with performance sitting mid-pack versus peers but positive. Macro discussion highlights US manufacturing surveys turning positive while housing remains weak amid high 30-year mortgage rates and sticky inflation, creating a two-speed economy and uncertainty for the Fed. Rossi draws on a San Francisco Fed paper on dotcom booms/busts, noting CapEx is hard to interpret due to IT price deflation and that dotcom excess was concentrated in telco CapEx, which later collapsed. He argues today’s hyperscaler AI CapEx is massive, LLM economics may be low-margin, and investors should watch demand-side signposts, not just CapEx, and stay nimble. 00:00 Nimble Investor Mindset 00:25 Show Intro and Guest 01:06 Vestigo Fund Overview 02:10 Discovery Fund Approach 02:49 Performance and Positioning 04:05 Macro Setup and Agenda 05:41 US Manufacturing vs Housing 08:02 Rates Inflation Two-Speed Economy 10:11 Planning for AI Cycle 11:50 Dotcom Parallels and Volatility 16:13 CapEx Deflation and Telco Warning 19:01 Hyperscaler CapEx and LLM Economics 22:32 Productivity Adoption and Circular Revenue 24:34 Signposts and How to Position 27:38 Wrap Up and Next Steps

  Are You Under Insured? Why Your Million Dollar Policy Might Only Pay $660K!

  Jul 16, 202625 min

  Rob Pizzichetta (Mont Wealth) interviews Chris Filer (Austbrokers Countrywide), a commercial insurance broker with 15 years’ experience and host of the “Another Bald Broker” podcast, about why insurance premiums have been rising and what consumers and business owners can do about it. Chris explains key drivers including inflation, supply chain issues, and local catastrophes like floods, bushfires and cyclones, with many premiums rising 5–10% while commercial property rates have recently plateaued and may be negotiated down. They discuss the value of brokers in advising on cover, navigating sub-limits and exclusions (e.g., jewellery item limits), managing claims, and avoiding underinsurance as rebuilding costs rise. Chris shares real claim examples and recommends reviewing sums insured, considering management liability for SMEs, testing brokers periodically, and reducing premiums by increasing excesses or using net-of-commission fee arrangements. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 01:07 Why Premiums Are Rising 03:20 Why Use a Broker 05:15 Common Policy Traps 06:53 Underinsurance Explained 09:53 Cheap Cover Pitfalls 11:05 Claims Stories Good and Bad 15:50 Protecting Business Risks 17:47 Broker Checklist for Owners 20:43 Premium Outlook and Savings 23:49 Disclaimer and Contact Details https://open.spotify.com/show/7dMYOJ18DENp7zDRyKnBTq Mobile: 0400 058 985 Email: chrisf@abcountrywide.com.au
