• Where the winners and losers from AI disruption are likely to come from
• Why Jeff Bezos’ vision in 1999 still rings true
• Whether Nvidia and co can whether this storm
• Two stocks at the forefront of AI innovation, and
• Where you should be looking for opportunity in this market.

Tamara Haban-Beer Stats, Lead ETF Specialist at BlackRock Australia joins the podcast to discuss:

• How Aussie investors can shed their home bias
• Investing in global equities and mitigating risk
• How ETFs can provide exposure offshore and
• What Australian investors should be focused on.
