Episode 11 — The Tax Layer

The recipe is built. But every portfolio exists inside a tax environment — and that environment can quietly take a meaningful portion of everything you have built, or barely touch it at all. In this episode, I give you the map. Four questions every parent needs to answer for their own country: How are capital gains and income taxed? Does your country have a tax wrapper for children or long-term investing? Should you choose accumulating or distributing funds given your tax situation? And what reporting obligations apply to foreign holdings? I also cover tax loss harvesting — what it is, when it is worth considering, and when it is irrelevant. Tax rules vary by country and change over time. This episode does not give you the local roads — it gives you the map so you know exactly what to look for and what questions to bring to a local advisor. Beyond PiggyBanks is a podcast helping parents build long-term wealth for their children through simple, practical strategies. No jargon. No products. Just the knowledge you need to give your child the financial advantage we never had.

Episode 10 — Building the Portfolio: The Recipe

Nine episodes of preparation. Today, everything comes together. In this episode, I walk through how to actually build a portfolio for your child — turning the theory into real percentages, real allocations, and a real engine. Before you can build, you need to answer three questions: What is your objective? How long do you have? What is your risk tolerance? Everything follows from there. I walk through two real examples. A five-year-old with a 15-year engine handover goal, and a thirteen-year-old with a seven-year target amount goal. Same ingredients, different proportions, different recipes — and I explain exactly why each choice was made. I also cover how often to review, how the allocation shifts gradually as your child grows, and what the whole system actually looks like in practice once it is running. The allies are in place. The dangers are named. The ingredients are understood. The vehicle is chosen. Now we build. Beyond PiggyBanks is a podcast helping parents build long-term wealth for their children through simple, practical strategies. No jargon. No products. Just the knowledge you need to give your child the financial advantage we never had.

Episode 09 — The Currency Question

Your basket grew 8%. The market went up. And you still lost money. That is currency risk — and it is one of the most underestimated forces in long-term investing. Not because it is complicated. Because it is invisible. In this episode I explain the difference between transaction currency and base currency, why the same basket can produce very different results for investors in different countries, and what two tools are available to manage the risk. Including hedged ETFs — what they are, how they work, and whether the cost is always worth it. Plus — why the US dollar is almost unavoidable in a globally diversified portfolio, and what that means for you. The ingredients are known. The basket is understood. The currency question has been addressed. I'm Jorge. I'm here because your child deserves the advantage we never had.

Episode 08 — The Toolkit: ETFs Explained

You know the ingredients. Now you need a way to carry them home. In this episode I explain what an ETF actually is — the pre-arranged basket that makes diversified investing simple, accessible, and low cost. I cover the difference between index-tracking and actively managed ETFs, and why the universe of available baskets is bigger than most people realize. If you thought of it — there is probably a basket for it. I also walk through the five things that matter when evaluating any ETF: TER, liquidity, assets under management, accumulating versus distributing, and base currency. Each one explained simply, with no jargon. And I explain why past performance is one of the most misused pieces of information in investing — and what it can actually tell you. The ingredients are known. The basket is ready. I'm Jorge. I'm here because your child deserves the advantage we never had.

Episode 07 — The Ingredients: Assets, Indexes & Risk

Before you can build a portfolio, you need to understand what you are building it with. In this episode, I walk through the five core asset classes — equities, fixed income, real estate, commodities, and alternatives — explaining what each one does, what role it plays in a long-term portfolio, and what level of risk it carries. I also clarify what an index actually is, and why that distinction matters before you start choosing funds. Think of it like understanding nutrition before you plan a diet. You are not going to cook every meal from scratch. But knowing what each ingredient does, and how much of each your child's portfolio needs, is what allows you to make good choices. The recipe is coming. But first — the ingredients. Beyond PiggyBanks is a podcast helping parents build long-term wealth for their children through simple, practical strategies. No jargon. No products. Just the knowledge you need to give your child the financial advantage we never had.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
