Investopoly
Investopoly is a twice-weekly podcast designed to help you make better financial decisions and build wealth with clarity and confidence. Hosted by Stuart (tax adviser, financial adviser, and mortgage broker) and Campbell (senior financial adviser), each episode delivers concise, practical insights grounded in real-world strategy, research, methodologies, and case studies.
You will get two episodes each week: a main episode that deep-dives into a single wealth-building topic, and a Q&A episode that answers listener questions and real scenarios. Send your questions to questions@investopoly.com.au
We also writes a weekly blog, and many podcast topics build on those ideas and frameworks. Stuart's forthcoming book, Wealth by Design, will be available in July 2026.

Five listeners at very different life stages, each wrestling with where to direct capital next. Perth couple "Amelia and Ivan," with two investment properties and a baby on the way, weigh three distinct strategies: hold and sell later to fund a renovation, swap a townhouse for a better-taxed property, or add a third and keep them all. Stuart works through the trade-offs and what a year or two off work really means for the plan.
A 26-year-old in Sydney real estate asks how to play the long game: buy a first home to live in and later upsize, or turn it into a rental? A 40-year-old in Ocean Reef with a healthy offset balance wonders whether an investment property makes sense now, whether to deploy cash or super first, and whether a trust is premature. And "Gus, the country copper," living rent-free with strong super, debates whether to keep funnelling surplus into shares via his trust or gear into another property purely for leverage.
Plus a genuinely useful technical question on inflation: how to treat it in wealth modelling, and whether to convert future assets back into today's dollars to track real progress.
