Doug Morris is the CEO of Sharesight, a tech investing platform with over 300,000 users who use it to track their performance, their tax and more.

With so many users and a seemingly endless stream of data, I wanted to ask Doug about all the interesting — but often not talked about share investing questions — such as ‘what on earth are investors *actually* doing with their portfolios?

As Doug tells us, more Australian investors are:

  • Pretty well diversified with 20-30+ stocks
  • Rapidly adopting the power of ETFs
  • Investing more of their portfolio overseas
  • Tracking their performance

I must admit, that’s pretty refreshing to hear!

(Here I was thinking too many of us just wanted to buy ‘the next hot stock’).

In this episode of The Australian Investors Podcast, the topics covered include:

  1. The 10 most bought ASX shares & ETFs
  2. The 10 most bought US stocks
  3. The rise of ETFs, from 10 years ago to now – and which ETFs investors are using
  4. How to track your portfolio, from tax to performance
  5. The importance of performance reporting and knowing if you’re ‘any good’ at investing

Listen to this episode if you:

  • Want to know the easiest way to track your share portfolio
  • How ETFs are taxed and how that impacts your portfolio
  • Know how to use Sharesight with any broker or any other asset (e.g. property)
  • Discover the names of the top 10 ASX shares, US stocks and a sprinkling of ETFs, by traded volume
