CNBC Asia has begun broadcasting a specialist investment show on Saturdays presented by Scott Pape, the author of the best selling book, 'The Barefoot Investor'.  The show, which takes its name from the book takes a unique and refreshing approach to the issues that matter most to your money. With a no nonsense attitude, Pape demystifies the complex world of financial management, providing simple and effective strategies to get your hip pocket back in shape. The show offers a no jargon, no fuss, just streetwise common sense approach to managing your finances.

John Casey, Vice President of News and Programming for CNBC Asia Pacific said; "The launch of the The Barefoot Investor enhances our weekend offerings and reinforces CNBC’s position as the premier business resource, appealing to our key demographic – the investor.  The new show will provide viewers with effective strategies to manage their money in a step-by-step guide to financial freedom."

"Broadcasting this new programme in Australia shows CNBC’s commitment to the region and enables us to continue being a one stop viewing platform taking our audience from the business week into the weekends."

Scott Pape added; "I'm excited to be a part of the CNBC team. The Barefoot Investor is about treading your own path and what better platform to feature straight forward money advice than on the world's leading financial news channel."
