Jennifer Duke: Welcome to the Fear and Greed Business Interview. I’m Jennifer
2
00:00:06,990 –> 00:00:09,599
Jennifer Duke: Duke. Every Monday here on Fear and Greed, we like
3
00:00:09,599 –> 00:00:12,449
Jennifer Duke: to look at investing, and one of our regular guests
4
00:00:12,450 –> 00:00:15,599
Jennifer Duke: is Chris Brycki, the founder and CEO of online investment
5
00:00:15,599 –> 00:00:19,439
Jennifer Duke: advisor Stockspot. He often talks about exchange traded funds or
6
00:00:19,440 –> 00:00:23,279
Jennifer Duke: ETFs, what’s popular and why they’re appealing to investors. And
7
00:00:23,280 –> 00:00:26,280
Jennifer Duke: today I wanted to focus on one particular type, cash
8
00:00:26,280 –> 00:00:30,450
Jennifer Duke: ETFs. Firstly though, remember, this is general information only. You
9
00:00:30,450 –> 00:00:34,079
Jennifer Duke: should definitely seek professional advice before making any investment decisions.
10
00:00:34,469 –> 00:00:36,179
Jennifer Duke: Chris, welcome back to Fear and Greed.
11
00:00:36,900 –> 00:00:38,340
Chris Brycki: Thanks for having me back on, Jennifer.
12
00:00:39,510 –> 00:00:41,940
Jennifer Duke: Let’s start with the very basics. What exactly is a
13
00:00:41,940 –> 00:00:42,780
Jennifer Duke: cash ETF?
14
00:00:43,860 –> 00:00:45,780
Chris Brycki: I think a lot of the listeners you have probably
15
00:00:45,780 –> 00:00:48,750
Chris Brycki: have heard of ETFs generally before, which are these listed
16
00:00:48,750 –> 00:00:51,450
Chris Brycki: funds that enable you to diversify and invest in a
17
00:00:51,450 –> 00:00:55,410
Chris Brycki: whole bunch of different companies or securities at once. Cash
18
00:00:55,410 –> 00:00:58,230
Chris Brycki: ETFs are a little bit more unusual, I don’t think
19
00:00:58,230 –> 00:01:00,300
Chris Brycki: too many people have heard of them before, but they’re
20
00:01:00,510 –> 00:01:03,990
Chris Brycki: a way of essentially earning a interest rate from the
21
00:01:03,990 –> 00:01:06,539
Chris Brycki: big banks, but rather than depositing your money with the
22
00:01:06,539 –> 00:01:10,109
Chris Brycki: banks, you’re actually buying something off the stock exchange that
23
00:01:10,109 –> 00:01:13,110
Chris Brycki: gives you access to deposits.
And these ETFs go and
24
00:01:13,110 –> 00:01:15,779
Chris Brycki: shop around for the best deposit rates. And they have
25
00:01:15,780 –> 00:01:18,420
Chris Brycki: a lot of buying power because they’re investing billions of
26
00:01:18,420 –> 00:01:20,940
Chris Brycki: dollars, and then they pass on those better rates to
27
00:01:20,940 –> 00:01:24,690
Chris Brycki: everyone. So they’re more of an alternative to savings accounts
28
00:01:24,690 –> 00:01:27,689
Chris Brycki: or high interest savings accounts compared to other ETFs that
29
00:01:27,690 –> 00:01:29,969
Chris Brycki: allow you to invest into, for instance, shares.
30
00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:32,520
Jennifer Duke: So you’re finding that more people are looking at cash
31
00:01:32,520 –> 00:01:33,600
Jennifer Duke: ETFs at the moment?
32
00:01:34,560 –> 00:01:36,959
Chris Brycki: Definitely over the last year or two, there’s been a
33
00:01:36,959 –> 00:01:39,839
Chris Brycki: huge explosion in interest, Jennifer. And the reason is that
34
00:01:39,840 –> 00:01:42,509
Chris Brycki: the interest rates have obviously gone up a lot, and
35
00:01:42,509 –> 00:01:46,709
Chris Brycki: so people are more interested in savings interest generally. There’s
36
00:01:46,709 –> 00:01:49,650
Chris Brycki: also a little bit of reluctance to invest in shares
37
00:01:49,650 –> 00:01:52,350
Chris Brycki: at the moment because the economy is volatile, people are
38
00:01:52,350 –> 00:01:56,400
Chris Brycki: a bit worried about inflation and economic growth and unemployment
39
00:01:56,400 –> 00:01:58,320
Chris Brycki: and what could be happening in the future. So I
40
00:01:58,320 –> 00:02:00,359
Chris Brycki: think those two combined have led to quite a lot
41
00:02:00,360 –> 00:02:03,149
Chris Brycki: of interest in these products. The other big factor that’s
42
00:02:03,150 –> 00:02:05,910
Chris Brycki: really driven interest is that the difference in the interest
43
00:02:05,910 –> 00:02:09,270
Chris Brycki: rate offered on these ETFs compared to what most people
44
00:02:09,270 –> 00:02:13,139
Chris Brycki: are getting in their bank savings accounts has really become
45
00:02:13,139 –> 00:02:15,960
Chris Brycki: a lot larger.
So these ETFs now are paying a
46
00:02:15,960 –> 00:02:19,469
Chris Brycki: bit over the RBA cash rate, and listeners would know
47
00:02:19,469 –> 00:02:21,209
Chris Brycki: that the RBA cash rate at the moment is 4.1%.
48
00:02:22,559 –> 00:02:26,940
Chris Brycki: These ETFs are paying around 4.2% per year, whereas most
49
00:02:26,940 –> 00:02:30,450
Chris Brycki: bank accounts are only paying around 2% a year, unless, of
50
00:02:30,450 –> 00:02:32,759
Chris Brycki: course, you’ve found one of these high interest accounts, but
51
00:02:32,760 –> 00:02:35,790
Chris Brycki: often they have a lot of other strings attached. You
52
00:02:35,790 –> 00:02:37,440
Chris Brycki: might need to use a card a certain amount of
53
00:02:37,440 –> 00:02:40,410
Chris Brycki: times per month or you might need to not make
54
00:02:40,410 –> 00:02:43,140
Chris Brycki: withdrawals or other rules like that.
55
00:02:44,070 –> 00:02:46,350
Jennifer Duke: So can you take me through the different options available
56
00:02:46,350 –> 00:02:47,400
Jennifer Duke: with cash ETFs?
57
00:02:48,210 –> 00:02:50,579
Chris Brycki: Sure. So at the moment on the ASX, there are
58
00:02:50,580 –> 00:02:53,910
Chris Brycki: three different products listed. Now, in other markets like the US,
59
00:02:53,910 –> 00:02:57,480
Chris Brycki: there are dozens of them, so I would expect over
60
00:02:57,480 –> 00:03:00,060
Chris Brycki: the next couple of years, there’ll be more options available.
61
00:03:00,299 –> 00:03:04,320
Chris Brycki: Right now there are three, their ASX codes are AAA,
62
00:03:04,380 –> 00:03:08,160
Chris Brycki: which is the BetaShares High Interest Cash ETF. That’s the
63
00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:10,440
Chris Brycki: one that we recommend to our clients for cash that
64
00:03:10,440 –> 00:03:13,258
Chris Brycki: they have that they don’t want to invest because they
65
00:03:13,258 –> 00:03:15,599
Chris Brycki: need it probably in the next three years, but they
66
00:03:15,599 –> 00:03:20,369
Chris Brycki: also want to earn a high return. And that’s paying just around 4. 19%
67
00:03:20,430 –> 00:03:23,940
Chris Brycki: at the moment. And then the other two are iShares products.
68
00:03:23,940 –> 00:03:28,200
Chris Brycki: There’s the iShares Core Cash ETF. BILL is the code. And
69
00:03:28,200 –> 00:03:31,859
Chris Brycki: the third one is the iShares Enhanced Cash ETF, ISEC.
70
00:03:32,820 –> 00:03:36,389
Chris Brycki: And they’re all pretty similar. The big difference between them
71
00:03:36,389 –> 00:03:39,810
Chris Brycki: is that they’re depositing in different banks. And what I
72
00:03:39,810 –> 00:03:43,290
Chris Brycki: would say is generally they’re all in very low credit
73
00:03:43,290 –> 00:03:47,940
Chris Brycki: risk and highly regarded banks. And so from my perspective,
74
00:03:47,940 –> 00:03:50,280
Chris Brycki: in terms of the recommendation we’re making to our clients,
75
00:03:50,670 –> 00:03:53,009
Chris Brycki: I would say the money is pretty safe. The only
76
00:03:53,010 –> 00:03:55,260
Chris Brycki: caveat I would say is unlike when you deposit your
77
00:03:55,260 –> 00:03:58,050
Chris Brycki: money in a bank, in a savings account, you don’t
78
00:03:58,050 –> 00:04:02,520
Chris Brycki: actually benefit from the government guarantee. So that’s the main difference.
79
00:04:03,360 –> 00:04:06,540
Jennifer Duke: There’ll be investors of all different types of experience listening
80
00:04:06,540 –> 00:04:08,760
Jennifer Duke: to this. How would they access a cash ETF?
81
00:04:10,289 –> 00:04:12,510
Chris Brycki: Well, the most common way would be through a online
82
00:04:12,510 –> 00:04:15,900
Chris Brycki: stockbroker. And so if any of the listeners already have
83
00:04:15,900 –> 00:04:19,440
Chris Brycki: an online broking account, you can easily access them through
84
00:04:19,440 –> 00:04:22,920
Chris Brycki: those accounts. The only extra cost you have to be
85
00:04:23,190 –> 00:04:26,009
Chris Brycki: aware of, as well as the management fees that are
86
00:04:26,009 –> 00:04:29,789
Chris Brycki: built into these ETFs, is actually brokerage costs. And so
87
00:04:29,789 –> 00:04:33,120
Chris Brycki: you should be calculating what’s the impact of brokerage costs
88
00:04:33,180 –> 00:04:36,150
Chris Brycki: on your transaction.
And that’s why for investments of less
89
00:04:36,150 –> 00:04:39,540
Chris Brycki: than three months, I’d still recommend to listeners that leaving
90
00:04:39,540 –> 00:04:41,219
Chris Brycki: the money in the bank is for most people the
91
00:04:41,219 –> 00:04:45,058
Chris Brycki: best option. But once you’re looking to park that savings
92
00:04:45,059 –> 00:04:47,459
Chris Brycki: for three months to three years, and that might be
93
00:04:47,459 –> 00:04:49,560
Chris Brycki: to save up to a goal of going on a
94
00:04:49,560 –> 00:04:53,339
Chris Brycki: holiday or saving up for your kids’ education or putting
95
00:04:53,339 –> 00:04:56,550
Chris Brycki: money aside for something like that, that’s when these products
96
00:04:56,550 –> 00:04:57,690
Chris Brycki: tend to make good sense.
97
00:04:58,050 –> 00:05:00,210
Jennifer Duke: And how does it compare to, say, a term deposit
98
00:05:00,210 –> 00:05:01,139
Jennifer Duke: or something like that?
99
00:05:02,190 –> 00:05:04,980
Chris Brycki: Well, term deposits are really priced off the interest rate
100
00:05:04,980 –> 00:05:08,428
Chris Brycki: curve, which means where are interest rates priced in the
101
00:05:08,430 –> 00:05:11,820
Chris Brycki: futures market and the swap market, one month, three months
102
00:05:11,820 –> 00:05:14,580
Chris Brycki: or six months or 12 months into the future. Now
103
00:05:14,580 –> 00:05:16,770
Chris Brycki: at the moment in Australia, the interest rate curve is
104
00:05:16,770 –> 00:05:20,009
Chris Brycki: pretty flat, which means that the interest rate we have
105
00:05:20,009 –> 00:05:23,609
Chris Brycki: today, which is 4.1%, is very similar to the interest
106
00:05:23,609 –> 00:05:26,910
Chris Brycki: rates three months, six months, 12 months into the future.
107
00:05:27,180 –> 00:05:29,279
Chris Brycki: And so what we’re seeing on term deposits at the
108
00:05:29,279 –> 00:05:32,130
Chris Brycki: moment is that the best rates out there that I’ve
109
00:05:32,130 –> 00:05:35,159
Chris Brycki: seen are around 5% at the moment. And that’s for people
110
00:05:35,160 –> 00:05:38,039
Chris Brycki: if they’re prepared to lock up their money for 12
111
00:05:38,040 –> 00:05:41,008
Chris Brycki: to 24 months.
So certainly if you’re prepared to lock
112
00:05:41,010 –> 00:05:43,800
Chris Brycki: up your money for a bit longer, the rates available
113
00:05:43,800 –> 00:05:45,990
Chris Brycki: are a little bit higher than these ETFs. The big
114
00:05:45,990 –> 00:05:48,419
Chris Brycki: downside to locking the money in obviously is that you
115
00:05:48,420 –> 00:05:50,339
Chris Brycki: don’t have access to it in the short term. So
116
00:05:50,339 –> 00:05:52,980
Chris Brycki: if an opportunity comes up, for instance if there’s a
117
00:05:52,980 –> 00:05:56,099
Chris Brycki: share market crash and you really wanted to invest, there
118
00:05:56,099 –> 00:05:57,899
Chris Brycki: are some penalties to pull your money out of the
119
00:05:57,900 –> 00:06:01,589
Chris Brycki: term deposit, whereas with cash ETFs, there’s no penalties. So
120
00:06:01,589 –> 00:06:04,410
Chris Brycki: you’re earning a little bit less but you have more flexibility.
121
00:06:04,740 –> 00:06:06,570
Jennifer Duke: Stay with me, Chris. We’ll be back in a minute.
122
00:06:12,839 –> 00:06:16,678
Jennifer Duke: I’m speaking to Chris Brycki, CEO of Stockspot. How do you
123
00:06:16,680 –> 00:06:19,470
Jennifer Duke: say that cash ETS would fit into a broader portfolio, and
124
00:06:19,470 –> 00:06:21,960
Jennifer Duke: how should investors be thinking about them in that context?
125
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:25,589
Chris Brycki: Well, the way that we explain it to our clients
126
00:06:25,589 –> 00:06:28,019
Chris Brycki: is that if you’re planning to invest for more than
127
00:06:28,020 –> 00:06:30,029
Chris Brycki: three years, or for any money that you don’t need
128
00:06:30,029 –> 00:06:33,119
Chris Brycki: for the next three years, we don’t really see a
129
00:06:33,120 –> 00:06:35,998
Chris Brycki: place for having too much cash in your portfolio. Because
130
00:06:36,180 –> 00:06:39,990
Chris Brycki: over the medium and long run, cash historically has done
131
00:06:39,990 –> 00:06:43,140
Chris Brycki: pretty poorly as an investment asset class and has lagged
132
00:06:43,140 –> 00:06:46,229
Chris Brycki: even inflation. And so it’s not a great place because
133
00:06:46,230 –> 00:06:48,990
Chris Brycki: you’re going to lose purchasing power and lose value of
134
00:06:48,990 –> 00:06:52,469
Chris Brycki: money over time for longer periods. So for longer periods
135
00:06:52,469 –> 00:06:56,070
Chris Brycki: of time, the portfolios we’re recommending to clients don’t have
136
00:06:56,279 –> 00:06:59,640
Chris Brycki: much if any cash. They’re mainly in other asset classes,
137
00:06:59,640 –> 00:07:03,928
Chris Brycki: like bonds and shares and property and infrastructure.
However, for
138
00:07:03,928 –> 00:07:06,750
Chris Brycki: shorter term goals of up to three years, that’s where
139
00:07:06,750 –> 00:07:09,360
Chris Brycki: cash has a great place in a portfolio. And that’s
140
00:07:09,360 –> 00:07:12,569
Chris Brycki: because investing in the share market over shorter periods, and
141
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:14,370
Chris Brycki: I think some listeners might think a short period is
142
00:07:14,370 –> 00:07:16,260
Chris Brycki: a week or two. The way that we would frame
143
00:07:16,260 –> 00:07:18,360
Chris Brycki: it to clients is actually anything up to three years
144
00:07:18,360 –> 00:07:21,510
Chris Brycki: is a short period in the share market. For that
145
00:07:21,510 –> 00:07:24,599
Chris Brycki: sort of period, your probability of actually earning a good
146
00:07:24,599 –> 00:07:28,110
Chris Brycki: return isn’t good enough to justify investing, in my view,
147
00:07:28,770 –> 00:07:30,990
Chris Brycki: into the share market. And that’s where a cash ETF
148
00:07:31,560 –> 00:07:34,140
Chris Brycki: would have a good place, I think, in a portfolio.
149
00:07:34,860 –> 00:07:37,410
Jennifer Duke: And given that sort of big boom in the popularity that
150
00:07:37,410 –> 00:07:39,929
Jennifer Duke: you mentioned in cash ETFs, where do you think the
151
00:07:39,929 –> 00:07:41,699
Jennifer Duke: market’s going to be for these funds in the next
152
00:07:42,000 –> 00:07:42,960
Jennifer Duke: five to 10 years?
153
00:07:44,099 –> 00:07:47,579
Chris Brycki: Well, it’s interesting. Historically, there was a huge explosion in
154
00:07:47,580 –> 00:07:49,500
Chris Brycki: these sorts of products, if you look back in history
155
00:07:49,500 –> 00:07:53,400
Chris Brycki: in the 1970s when there was a similar fast increase
156
00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:57,150
Chris Brycki: in interest rates and bout of inflation. And money market funds —
157
00:07:57,150 –> 00:07:59,370
Chris Brycki: they were at that point in time not ETFs, because
158
00:07:59,370 –> 00:08:03,420
Chris Brycki: ETFs didn’t exist — absolutely skyrocketed in popularity and they stayed
159
00:08:03,420 –> 00:08:07,410
Chris Brycki: pretty popular for a whole decade because they were offering relatively
160
00:08:07,410 –> 00:08:09,660
Chris Brycki: good interest rates compared to what the banks were offering.
161
00:08:09,840 –> 00:08:11,820
Chris Brycki: And I think we’re seeing a similar trend at the moment,
162
00:08:11,820 –> 00:08:14,880
Chris Brycki: that this is really the start of probably a trend
163
00:08:14,880 –> 00:08:18,390
Chris Brycki: that will continue for the next decade, which is that
164
00:08:18,929 –> 00:08:22,590
Chris Brycki: banks are relying on people being lazy and not shopping
165
00:08:22,590 –> 00:08:25,200
Chris Brycki: around for better interest rates. Sadly, like a lot of
166
00:08:25,200 –> 00:08:28,860
Chris Brycki: other service providers in Australia. But for anyone that’s savvy
167
00:08:28,860 –> 00:08:31,980
Chris Brycki: and prepared to shop around, these products are actually giving
168
00:08:31,980 –> 00:08:35,069
Chris Brycki: a much better yield or interest rate compared to what
169
00:08:35,070 –> 00:08:38,309
Chris Brycki: you can get in the bank. And while that difference exists,
170
00:08:38,309 –> 00:08:42,059
Chris Brycki: and at the moment it’s about 2%, the average cash
171
00:08:42,059 –> 00:08:45,510
Chris Brycki: ETF return versus the average savings account return is 2%.
172
00:08:46,170 –> 00:08:48,900
Chris Brycki: While you can earn that extra 2%, I think the
173
00:08:48,900 –> 00:08:52,588
Chris Brycki: popularity of these products will continue to increase. Worth noting,
174
00:08:52,590 –> 00:08:55,950
Chris Brycki: in the US that difference is even larger, it’s around 3%.
175
00:08:56,730 –> 00:08:59,249
Chris Brycki: And there’s been an even bigger level of growth in
176
00:08:59,250 –> 00:09:01,800
Chris Brycki: these products in the US, just because so many more
177
00:09:01,800 –> 00:09:05,190
Chris Brycki: people are realizing it’s a better way to earn an
178
00:09:05,190 –> 00:09:05,760
Chris Brycki: interest rate.
179
00:09:06,480 –> 00:09:07,950
Jennifer Duke: Do you think it might actually give the banks a bit of
180
00:09:07,950 –> 00:09:10,920
Jennifer Duke: a kick to outplay game and pass through some better
181
00:09:10,920 –> 00:09:12,270
Jennifer Duke: interest rates to consumers?
182
00:09:12,990 –> 00:09:18,270
Chris Brycki: Look, you’d hope so, but unfortunately the Australian banking regime
183
00:09:18,300 –> 00:09:21,449
Chris Brycki: isn’t particularly competitive when it comes to deposits because there’s
184
00:09:21,450 –> 00:09:23,939
Chris Brycki: a lot of people that are, sadly, just prepared to
185
00:09:23,940 –> 00:09:26,760
Chris Brycki: leave their deposits in bank accounts and don’t put a
186
00:09:26,760 –> 00:09:30,000
Chris Brycki: lot of thought into the interest they’re receiving, especially for short-
187
00:09:30,000 –> 00:09:33,569
Chris Brycki: term goals and needs that they have. So in a
188
00:09:33,570 –> 00:09:37,650
Chris Brycki: perfectly competitive market environment, absolutely. You’d think that banks would
189
00:09:37,650 –> 00:09:40,830
Chris Brycki: be competing for those deposits. But we don’t exist in
190
00:09:40,830 –> 00:09:44,639
Chris Brycki: that world and unfortunately there isn’t enough competition to really
191
00:09:44,639 –> 00:09:48,208
Chris Brycki: drive banks to increase interest rates anywhere near that sort
192
00:09:48,210 –> 00:09:50,219
Chris Brycki: of four or four and a bit percent that we’re
193
00:09:50,219 –> 00:09:53,549
Chris Brycki: seeing in these cash ETFs. So my guess would be
194
00:09:53,549 –> 00:09:54,090
Chris Brycki: probably not.
195
00:09:55,170 –> 00:09:58,770
Jennifer Duke: Moving away from cash ETFs quickly, what other trends are you seeing in the
196
00:09:58,860 –> 00:10:01,380
Jennifer Duke: ETF market right now? Is there still a fascination with
197
00:10:01,410 –> 00:10:04,078
Jennifer Duke: AI and technology like semiconductors?
198
00:10:05,219 –> 00:10:07,710
Chris Brycki: Look, at any point in time, Jennifer, there’s always little
199
00:10:07,710 –> 00:10:11,159
Chris Brycki: trends that emerge in the investing landscape. And they tend
200
00:10:11,160 –> 00:10:14,640
Chris Brycki: to transpire now in the ETF world as well because not
201
00:10:14,640 –> 00:10:17,880
Chris Brycki: only can people buy direct shares to access a different
202
00:10:17,880 –> 00:10:20,460
Chris Brycki: thematic in the markets, but an ETF allows them to
203
00:10:20,460 –> 00:10:23,309
Chris Brycki: do that as well. So over the last year, for
204
00:10:23,309 –> 00:10:27,088
Chris Brycki: instance, yes, all the ETFs that are focused on AI have
205
00:10:27,089 –> 00:10:29,969
Chris Brycki: really seen a lot of money come into them because
206
00:10:29,969 –> 00:10:32,400
Chris Brycki: the stocks that are within those ETFs have performed very
207
00:10:32,400 –> 00:10:36,720
Chris Brycki: well. The NVIDIAs of the world have really seen huge increases
208
00:10:36,720 –> 00:10:39,660
Chris Brycki: in their share prices. The other theme that’s done quite
209
00:10:39,660 –> 00:10:42,809
Chris Brycki: well in the ETF landscape, that mirrors what’s happening underlying
210
00:10:42,809 –> 00:10:49,290
Chris Brycki: shares, is around lithium and the technologies around batteries.
So
211
00:10:49,320 –> 00:10:52,590
Chris Brycki: those sorts of ETFs have also performed quite well. But
212
00:10:52,590 –> 00:10:55,650
Chris Brycki: these are very niche themes and I’d say to listeners, if
213
00:10:55,650 –> 00:10:58,200
Chris Brycki: you’re investing into these, just be careful not to invest
214
00:10:58,200 –> 00:11:00,869
Chris Brycki: too much of your portfolio. Because just as they can
215
00:11:00,870 –> 00:11:04,049
Chris Brycki: go up 80 or 100% in a year, they can also fall
216
00:11:04,049 –> 00:11:06,630
Chris Brycki: by 50% in a year. And that’s what we saw
217
00:11:06,630 –> 00:11:09,840
Chris Brycki: with some of these cryptocurrency ETFs over the last year that
218
00:11:09,840 –> 00:11:13,050
Chris Brycki: actually fell by 80%. So you can’t have too much
219
00:11:13,050 –> 00:11:15,360
Chris Brycki: of your portfolio on these products, otherwise you’re going to weather
220
00:11:15,360 –> 00:11:17,549
Chris Brycki: some pretty enormous ups and downs.
221
00:11:18,150 –> 00:11:20,399
