SMSFs (Self-Managed Super Funds) are increasing in popularity. SMSFs provide a lot of great features. They allow investors to access the investments they want, and in the proportion they’d like to. They allow a level of customisation to invest in asset classes that aren’t available through traditional superfunds. The popularity of SMSFs with investors – particularly investors with high balances – has caused the industry to innovate to provide another option. In this episode, Mark and Shani discuss Direct Investment options that may offer a happy middle ground for investors who want control of their portfolio, but not the headache of portfolio administration.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
