About this episode

The episode discusses the shift in wealth-building strategies from property to ETFs among younger investors.

Why are younger investors embracing ETFs while older generations are more likely to have built wealth through property? In this bite from Shared Lunch , Smart's Tom Bentley explains how rising house prices, changing demographics, and easier access to investing are reshaping the way people build wealth. He also shares why treating ETFs as long-term investments—not short-term trades—can make all the difference. This bite is from our previous episode "Why ETFs Keep Breaking Records."
