Q&A: Bonds, how to become an investor & graduating from Superhero

Welcome back to another listener Q&A episode, where Kate Campbell and Owen Rask crack open the mailbox to answer your questions.

This month we cover a great range of questions covering the role bonds and defensive assets play in an investors portfolio (including your super), how to rebalance your portfolio as you get closer to retirement, what to study for a career in finance and investing, and whether you need to 'graduate' from the modern brokerage platforms like Sharesies, Pearler, Superhero & Stake.

Send any questions you have to podcast@rask.com.au for us to answer on future Q&A episodes.
