In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we explore how companies issue substantial Stock based compensation (SBC) to their employees while simultaneously reducing the overall share count through buybacks. We discuss whether tying SBC to buybacks makes strategic sense and discuss how shareholders should view buybacks.

Additionally, we give an overview of private credit, which is a type of non-bank lending that is marketed as offering higher returns and tailored loan solutions but comes with a slew of risks and challenges for investors. We cover everything from lock-up periods and redemption limitations to the high fees and credit risks involved.

Lastly, we take a closer look at public fintech companies and how they’ve fared since 2021 and if some of the names are worth a closer look.

Tickers of Stocks & ETF discussed: WISE, ADYEN, SQ, AFRM, TOST, LSPD, V, MA
