131. SHORTS: What is the ASX?

Ana Kresina & Natasha Etschmann
About this episode

It’s one of the first things you’ll hear about when you decide to invest in Australia. But have you ever wondered what the ASX actually is? You’re not alone – research suggests that 76% of Australians don’t fully grasp the working details of the Australian Securities Exchange.


…okay, so we may have fabricated that figure. Even so, for such a focal institution, it isn’t always the easiest to understand. Worry, not, though, for in this Get Rich Slow Club episode, Tash and Ana set out to demystify the Exchange.


Consider this session your crash course in the ASX and its key terms and concepts. Give us a small parcel of your day, and we’ll give you a foundation in the Australian sharemarket!
