We’ve invited Nozi Van Heerden, a personal finance educator, author, and self-proclaimed “ETF baby”, to join us in the Easy Does It kitchen to share her own investment ingredients when cooking up her portfolio.

Nozi gets very candid with us for this episode, sharing her taboo investment habits, explaining her investment strategy, as well as how her love for ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) and index investing came about. And more!

With over 15 000 subscribers following her insights via her own channels, Nozi also shares how she got to the point where she’s grown in popularity and influence in the tricky finance space. To hear about all of these, as well as to find out which are favourite ETFs, make sure to listen to this episode.

We want to show some love to our Namibian listeners and INVSTRs. Flying the Namibian flag high in this episode is Jacobine ‘Ms EasyVestor’ Amutenya.

From our studio in Jozi to Jacobine’s home in Windhoek, we went across the border to bridge the gap between our INVSTRs’ experiences via this episode with the social media maverick.

We get to know how she began her own journey toward financial freedom, from the initial investing mistakes she made, to understanding what motivated her to even start in the first place.

Make sure to join us as we all take a peek into Ms EasyVestor’s portfolio as well (yep, we go there).

Jacobine also tells us about how she conducts research on the assets she buys, so if you’re looking for a way to start make sure to give this episode a listen.

Side note: if anyone tried to tell you that social media is bad, tell them that we have many investors, like Jacobine, who found the path for financial freedom via Twitter.

Youth Month isn’t a time of the year that is typically associated with gift-giving. But, we’re going to make the case for it being a time to think about one of the best types of presents any parent/guardian can give their child.

Investing for your children and setting them up for a shot at financial freedom starts with the simple step of opening an account in their name. Thereafter, everything is in your hands as a guardian.

That is why we brought Veronique, aka ‘V’, from the Easy HQ to talk to us about how to open up a Minor Account on the EasyEquities platform.

Listen to this episode for a guide on how to get started. We cover the application process which includes attaching the necessary documents to send to the EasyEquities admin team. We’ve got the entire process covered in this episode, as well as the tips and tricks to get around some of the tricky bits that involve minors’ financial admin.
