This week in Future Focus, Shani explores trusts. In a meeting with a tax specialist, she was pointed towards them as a way to minimise tax, especially for those individuals on higher tax brackets. She looks at who these vehicles suit and when they might be too much effort with not enough reward.
Joseph tapped the insights of Morningstar’s energy analyst to compare integrated fuel and gas station company Ampol with its industry peer Viva Energy (the owner of Reddy Express). How might Australia’s biggest gas station firms fare in a world with more EVs? Are they likely to keep their Australian oil refineries open amid tough competition?

Humans have a natural inclination to assume that expensive equals better. But is that the case with investing? Not really. Paying more often means getting less in return. Investors have largely taken this message onboard and clearly favour low-cost funds while rejecting more costly options. But are we missing out on better products by doing so? In this week's Young & Invested, Sim explores if investors are too obsessed with fees and when paying extra may be worth it.

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.
