For years, cryptocurrencies had been cast aside as the speculative Wild West of the investment world.

But something has quietly shifted in the last two years.

That’s according to Global X ETFs Investment Strategist Justin Lin, who argues that the asset class has moved away from its retail-driven origins to become an increasingly institutionalised asset class.

While our host, Ally Selby, has long been a sceptic, somehow, Lin convinced her that cryptocurrencies should no longer be seen as the playground for scammers and fraudsters, but a regulated ecosystem with assets worthy of a place in strategic portfolios. Learn why in this episode.

Kerr Neilson, the legendary contrarian investor behind Platinum, lays out a bold case for why the next decade may belong not to AI darlings.

He argues markets are entering a period of profound disruption, pointing to geopolitical fragmentation, war in the Middle East, and fragile global oil supply as long-term threats- warning these forces are reshaping markets.

Beyond the macro themes, he offers practical insights for advisers: the dangers of crowded trades, the inefficiencies created by passive investing, and the importance of contrarian thinking in an ETF-dominated world.

His message is clear. The biggest opportunities often lie where capital has been scarce.

In this episode:
00:00 Why Contrarian Investing Still Works
03:00 Where ETF Crowding Creates Opportunity
06:00 How Oil Shocks Could Reshape Portfolios
08:42 Balancing Gold, Cash And Real Assets
11:20 What Samsung And Platinum Signal
16:10 Where Advisers May Find Mispriced Value

📈 Stocks and ETFs Mentioned:
Samsung (KRX: 005930)
Impala (JSE: IMP)
Petrobras (NYSE: PBR)
Sky Metals (ASX: SKY)
Valterra Platinum (JSE: VTR)
