Talking SMSF with Olivia Long

In this inspiring episode of Assetora Unlocked, hosts George and Darren sit down with 21-year-old content creator and investor Ethan Wong to discuss how Gen Z is redefining commerce, industry, and financial freedom.

Born in New York and raised in Macau, Ethan shares his entrepreneurial journey - from winning a YouTube silver plaque at age 16 to shifting his focus toward long-term asset compounding, financial education, and his ultimate dream of launching a hedge fund.

The trio dives deep into the pitfalls of fast-money consumerism pushed by social media influencers, the immense power of patience, and the critical shift from chasing "riches" to building true "wealth". Ethan also highlights why open-market platforms like Assetora are unlocking once-impossible private equity and community-driven investment opportunities for a new generation of investors.

In this episode of Assetora Unlocked, George and Darren kick off 2026 with a bold vision for helping Australians invest differently.

They unpack Assetora’s innovative sub-fund structure that allows SMSFs to invest in property — including house and land packages — without traditional borrowing complexities like bare trusts. They also explore how investors can combine super and personal capital, syndicate with family or friends, and access a secondary market for added flexibility.

Beyond property, the conversation turns to fractionalised health tech, R&D funding and new income-generating opportunities starting from as little as $1,000.

With a strengthened brand, new banking partnerships and a growing investor community, 2026 is set to be a breakout year.

If you’re ready to rethink how you build wealth, this episode shows you how.
