#519 70,000 Australian Kids Are Already Investing w. Craig Keary

There are more than 70,000 kids' investment accounts sitting on one Australian platform, and it's the fastest growing part of the business. Craig Keary is the new CEO of Raiz, and before that he spent thirty years across HSBC, CBA, Westpac and AMP Capital, plus a stint running Selfwealth.

Craig shares what he's seeing across 350,000 active accounts, including what people actually did with their money through the tariff volatility and the Middle East tensions, and whether the budget changed anyone's behaviour at all. We also get into why younger Australians have almost no home country bias, and the habit Craig reckons costs investors more than fees ever will.
