Agenda
Welcome to Livewire Live
Signal or Noise: What matters and what you should ignore
Host: Roy Keenan
Info: The macroeconomic playbook has completely changed. The era of low inflation and low rates was an anomaly, geopolitical tensions are flaring with supply chains and alliances being rewritten as deglobalisation gains momentum. These shifts are flowing through asset classes and have real impacts for investors. In this session, our panel brings decades of market experience to help you focus on the trends that matter right now and those to ignore.
Where is the value on the ASX?
Host: Dushko Bajic
Info: The past 12 months have thrown multiple curveballs. Growth and tech companies have been hit by AI fears, ‘blue chip’ stocks have fallen from grace while gravity defying valuations for large caps have investors scratching their heads. We’ve assembled some of Australia's finest stock pickers to help you uncover where the value lies on the ASX.
Three Megatrends you need to know about (and how to play them)
Host: Nick Griffin
Info: Step back from the day-to-day gyrations of financial markets as three investors put the spotlight on the long-term trends shaping the decade ahead. From commodities to artificial intelligence and the infrastructure required to power the future these industry deep dives will take you inside the opportunity and reveal how to play them.
The seven deadly sins of investing
Host: Dr David Allen
Info: Lots of time is dedicated to selecting the right investments. But few people spend enough time thinking about the biases that can derail their journey and harm returns.
Five years from now these are the companies everyone will wish they owned
Host: Jacob Mitchell
Info: Entire industries are being re-shaped as we go through what many describe as the new industrial revolution. The dust is yet to settle but investors are busily searching for the companies that can survive this change as well as the new breed of winners.
Shocking predictions for 2027 and beyond
Host: Vihari Ross
Info: Many of the best investing opportunities emerge when you think differently from the herd. Our ‘Shocking Predictions’ are back featuring five fast-paced and thought provoking pitches that will challenge consensus ideas as investors look to 2027 and beyond.
