In this episode of Wealthy + Wise, Andrew Coleman from Teaminvest joins host Nadine Blaney and David Tuckwell from ETF Shares to unpack one of the most important market dynamics of 2025: the imminent arrival of the three largest IPOs in history — SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic — all landing within a 12-month window.

Andrew begins by laying the conceptual foundation: the difference between primary and secondary markets, why IPOs represent an inherent information asymmetry in favour of the company, and how value investors think about the risk of double dilution. David then adds the index mechanics angle, explaining how forced ETF buying at any price will reshape market liquidity in ways that history suggests investors should not ignore. 

The episode closes with a viewer Q&A from Timothy, who asks whether Teaminvest would reconsider Mineral Resources given its improving balance sheet — Andrew's answer covers earnings stability, governance concerns, and how value investors apply the Teaminvest framework when a company changes its business model.
