In the past share market investors built their portfolios with individual stocks with a bias toward bluechip banking and mining companies. But today with so many low-cost ETFs available, there has been an evolution in professional portfolio construction with a move towards an ETF-based core/satellite approach.

The core component targets the average share market return through low-cost ETFs while the satellite component tries to outperform the market with 5 to 10-year themes. We cover how many ETFs to include, which ETFs to consider, and when to review, adjust and sell.

In today's show, we also cover: proposed changes to tax in superannuation and capital gains, how the EV Discount Bill can result in a 47 percent tax deduction on your car, how to reduce the interest rate on your SMSF loan and should 'equal weight' ETFs be considered in a portfolio?
