Meet David

My name is David Cuda and I’m a 50-year-old chief financial officer (CFO) from Sydney. I currently work in a great organisation in the health sector. With more than two decades of experience in the financial world, I’ve been actively involved in investing, particularly in shares, managed trusts and ETFs.

My role as a CFO has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of financial management and investment strategies. It’s this professional background that inspired my passion for optimising my personal investments, achieving financial security and ultimately led me to Stockspot.

Why I decided to trust Stockspot with my investment portfolio

The decision to entrust Stockspot with my investment portfolio in 2016 was driven by their innovative approach to wealth management. Stockspot’s utilisation of technology to provide efficient and cost-effective investment solutions aligned perfectly with my financial expertise. Their data-driven investment strategies and commitment to diversification mirrored my own investment philosophy, making them a natural choice for me.

A final word about investing

The advice I would give to a friend who is hesitant about investing and leaving their money in a savings account is simple: start investing as soon as possible. 

While savings accounts provide safety, they often can’t keep up with inflation, meaning your money loses purchasing power over time. By investing wisely, you can potentially earn higher returns and secure your financial future. Don’t let fear or inaction hold you back from building wealth.

In terms of final money-related tips, I’d say it’s crucial to have a clear investment plan and stick to it, even in times of market volatility. Diversify your portfolio to spread risk, keep an eye on your investment fees, and focus on long-term goals.

Lastly, never stop learning about investing; knowledge is your most valuable asset on this financial journey.
