What we’re chatting about this week…

What are the best performing ETFs in 2023?
Today we play a game, that spectacularly backfires! (‘Cause Ren guesses the list way too quickly 😂) Bryce challenges Ren to guess the top performing ETFs from the year to date - and then they chat about the rhymes and reasons why these are the top five.

A quick reminder that everything needs context. While these top performing ETFs have done well in the past 3 months - it doesn't take into account how they performed last year AND past performance is not indicative of future performance.

Here's the list - can you put them in order?

BetaShares Crypto Innovators - CRYP
GlobalX 21Shares Ethereum ETF - EETH
GlobalX FANG+ - FANG
GlobalX 21Shares Bitcoin ETF - EBTC
Globalx Ultra Long NASDAQ 100 Hedge Fund - LNAS

You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out the final rankings. If you want to check out the resource we used to put this top 5 together, visit the ETF tracker here.

It feels like everyone we know is looking to create a side-hustle for a bit of extra cash. Sometimes though, what starts as a side-hustle turns into an empire!

Maddy and Sophie from You’re In Good Company are talking to some founders who took the leap and made their side hustle their regular gig. They’ll be talking to exercise moguls, cosmetic entrepreneurs and lingerie designers.

This week, they’re talking to one half of the hugely successful fitness app Keep It Cleaner - the brilliant Laura Henshaw. She talks about how they started the company in 2015 with an e*book and grew it to a community-focussed health powerhouse!

Hang on! There’s more…

Under the Hood | What’s in a name of an ETF?

Last Friday, Bryce and Alec were joined by Kanish Chugh - Head of Distribution at Global X - to launch ‘Under the Hood’. This new 10 part series for Get Started Investing will be in your podcast feed every Friday morning!

This week we ask ‘What’s in a name?' and make sense of some of the acronyms, jargon and confusing terms around ETFs. We will break down the key components of an ETF's name and explore how to decipher these terms effectively. This episode they dig into Global X’s Morningstar Global Technology ETF - and put Kanish on the spot to rate (and explain) the name and what it does!
