In this new episode, Lloyd tackles one of the most important questions Australian investors face: should you invest in the ASX or put your money to work on Wall Street? By comparing the Australian and US markets across decades of performance, he explains where each market has strengths, where they fall short, and how investors can think about building a smarter portfolio.

◼️ Why Wall Street has historically outperformed the ASX and the key factors driving stronger long-term returns

◼️ The advantages of investing in Australia, including franking credits, dividend income, and exposure to major mining companies

◼️ How Australian investors can avoid home bias, think globally, and make better portfolio decisions for long-term wealth creation
