Connect with us virtually in our popular midday Speaker Series!

When Equity Mates co-founders, Bryce Leske and Alec Renehan, met at university they both developed a passion for investing. As they spoke to friends and family about their interest, they realised a lot of people faced the same challenges. Financial markets were seen as complex and inaccessible and financial media catered to the industry but not everyday Australians. So, they set out to record their journey of learning to invest, in the hope others would join them.

Join us on Thursday to chat with Equity Mates as they talk about the growing community of investors in Australia and around the globe. Learn about their podcasts - Equity Mates Investing Podcast and Get Started Investing, and how they’re breaking down the complex world of investing, from beginning to dividend, to give everyday people the information, confidence and inspiration to start their own investing journeys.

SPEAKER BIO
Byrce Leske

Bryce, 28, has had an interest in the stock market since his parents encouraged him to save 50c a fortnight from the age of 5. Once he had saved $500, he bought his first stock - BKI - a Listed Investment Company (LIC), and since then hasn't stopped. He hopes that Equity Mates can help make investing understandable and accessible.

Alec Renehan

Alec, 27, developed an interest in investing after realising he was spending all that he was earning. Investing became his form of 'forced saving'. While his first investment, Slater and Gordon (SGH), was a resounding failure he learnt a lot from that experience. He hopes to share those lessons amongst others through the podcast and help people realise that if he can make money investing, anyone can.
