Get Invested: Part 1 - Michael Johnston on asset investment

Understanding access versus ownership as well as opportunity cost is key for investors. You have the option to pay less of your hard earned cash now to get access and control over an asset, while your remaining monies are invested elsewhere. By putting on a pair of investment glasses you can start to make your financial decisions differently, by asking yourself: How can I control and enjoy access to this asset now at minimal cost, while freeing up my funds to invest in other high growth opportunities? To talk about this and more is our guest, Michael Johnston.  Michael is the Director of National Direct Finance and a top asset finance broker. In an environment that is getting increasingly more complex and overwhelming, Michael and his team combine decades of experience across multiple lenders and loan solutions, helping you source, structure, negotiate and deliver the best available result to suit your specific needs. This week we unpack Michael's personal journey before we deep dive into the detail of asset finance in next week’s episode.
