In this episode, I sit down with Nilar Alom Ispahany, Founder and Principal Advisor at Zeteo Wealth Partners, to explore how Australian investors can think beyond property and build a more balanced approach to wealth.
We discuss why property investing in Australia remains such a strong foundation but also why it’s no longer the only story. Together, we unpack alternative asset classes like private credit and private equity, and how they’re helping Australian business owners, high-net-worth families, and next-generation investors create lasting value, manage risk, and protect their legacies.
As Australia’s economy evolves and credit markets tighten, understanding how to diversify across different asset classes has never been more important.
We start with what every Australian investor knows best property. It’s trusted, tangible, and has built enormous wealth across generations. But how does it fit within a total asset management strategy?
Nilar and I talk about how real assets like property and infrastructure play a role in long-term portfolios, what the outlook for the Australian property market looks like, and why it’s time to stack new “bricks” alongside property to diversify wealth and build financial resilience.
If you understand mortgages and property loans, private credit might feel familiar but it’s changing the way investors generate income in Australia.
Nilar breaks down private credit in simple terms and explains why it’s becoming such a powerful income engine in 2025. We compare private credit returns to property yields, explore its role in delivering consistent income streams, and look at how Zeteo clients use it to manage risk-adjusted returns while keeping portfolios stable in volatile credit conditions.
Australian investors are increasingly looking for access to private equity opportunities, and the landscape is changing fast.
Nilar and I discuss how private equity is evolving from being an exclusive institutional play to something more accessible to everyday investors. We explore how Australian business owners can use private equity to scale their companies, fund growth, or plan an exit strategy that aligns with long-term wealth goals.
