Today I’m joined by Owen Raszkiewicz from the Australian Finance Podcast and the Australian Investors Podcast. 

Owen is the founder of Rask which is a financial and investment education company based in Melbourne. Prior to founding Rask, Owen was an investment analyst at the managed funds research business Zenith Investment Partners and a Writer/Analyst for The Motley Fool Australia. We touch on a lot of interesting topics in this pod but one area that I was really keen to pick his brain on is active investing. Owen has a breadth of knowledge in this area that far exceeds my own and I think it’s good to hear another point of view from an expert.

Some of the topics in today’s episode include:

➡Owen shares his personal story of growing up and his relationship with money.
➡The light bulb moment when Owen understood a common pathway to financial success.
➡Owen’s investing philosophy, principles and personal financial goals.
➡What is value investing and how does it work?
➡Can an active investor actually beat the market over a long time period following a set of principles and guidelines?
➡Do private investors really have an advantage over fund managers?
➡What is Rask all about and what does Owen hope to achieve through the company?

Episode 42. Value Investing with Owen Raszkiewicz

My name's Matt, I'm a country boy for regional Victoria who is on track to reach Financial Independence and Retire Early (FIRE) by my mid-thirties. 

I interview guests who have already reached or are on their way to financial freedom and also answer listeners questions on the last Friday of every month.
