Join 29,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors [https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors]  ----- What does it take to build a health tech investment portfolio with zero failures across 32 companies? In this episode, we sit down with Dr Amandeep Hansra and Dr Bi Mian, the two clinicians behind Medical Angels, Australia's largest clinician syndicate, now transitioning into a formal $40 million fund. We hear how it all started from a Facebook group, why traditional VCs have historically struggled to invest in health tech, and what clinician-led investing actually looks like in practice. We also unpack how doctors can get involved as LPs, what the ESVCLP tax structure means for them, and why the founders believe that being on the clinical frontline is their single greatest investment edge. If you're a doctor who's ever wondered what it looks like to back the future of healthcare, rather than just work inside it,  this conversation is for you. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00  Intro 01:03  Who Are Dr Amandeep and Dr Bi? 02:42  How They Met: A Cold DM and a Coffee 04:01  The Gap They Spotted in Health Tech Investing 06:22  The Facebook Group That Started It All 07:24  Balancing Medicine and Running a Fund 10:19  Why Clinician-Led Investing Beats a Generalist VC 13:06  How Their Clinician Network Powers Due Diligence 15:22  Move Fast AND Be Safe: The Health Tech Challenge 17:25  How They Evaluate Startups: Painkillers vs Vitamins  47:24 Formalising Into a $40M Fund: What That Means 48:30  The ESVCLP Tax Benefits Explained 53:17 What Does Success Look Like for Australian Healthcare? 57:16  Why They Do This: Impact at Scale 01:01:18 Final Message to Doctors Considering the Fund ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/ [https://ifdgroup.com.au/]  https://doctorbi.com.au/ [https://doctorbi.com.au/]  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi [https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi] -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN [https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN]  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608]  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast]  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ [https://ifdgroup.com.au/]  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors [https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors]  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors [https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors]  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

Federal Budget 2026 Just Killed The Trust Strategies You've Been Using For Years

Join 29,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors [https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors]  ----- In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr Bi breaks down the most significant overhaul of trust taxation in Australian history. The 2026 Federal Budget has fundamentally changed the rules for anyone running a discretionary trust, and if you have a family trust, a bucket company, or a testamentary trust in your estate plan, this episode is essential listening. We unpack the new 30% minimum tax on discretionary trust income, why the bucket company strategy is now dead, what happens to the CGT discount inside a trust, and the critical traps buried in the testamentary trust carve-outs that most people have completely missed. Most importantly, we walk through the three-year restructuring window, what rollover relief actually means in practice, and why you need to start planning now rather than waiting for the legislation to be finalised. This episode is a clear, numbers-driven analysis of what has changed, who it affects, and what you should be doing about it today. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Intro/Hook 00:56 What a Trust actually is 02:06 Types of Trusts: Fixed vs. Discretionary 03:33 New Tax Rules for Discretionary Trusts 07:41 Impact on Tax Burden and Income Splitting 13:19 Who Does the New Tax System Affect? 16:08 Testamentary Trusts and Estate Planning 22:52 Capital Gains Tax Changes 29:28 Restructuring Options and Rollover Relief 35:38 Government Support and Practical Considerations 40:00 Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/ [https://ifdgroup.com.au/]  https://doctorbi.com.au/ [https://doctorbi.com.au/]  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi [https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi] -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN [https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN]  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608]  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast]  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ [https://ifdgroup.com.au/]  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors [https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors]  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors [https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors]  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

2026 Budget: What Every Investor Must Know NOW

Join 29,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors [https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors]  ----- In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr. Bi cuts through the political noise to explain exactly what changed in the 2026 Federal Budget and what it means for your financial future as a property investor. We unpack the end of the 50% capital gains tax discount, the move to cost-based indexation, the new 30% minimum tax on gains, and what the restriction of negative gearing on established properties really means in practice. We explore who these changes affect, what has been grandfathered, why new builds are now the preferred vehicle for property investors, and how company structures may become the new default for serious investors. Most importantly, we run the actual numbers to show whether these changes are as damaging as the headlines suggest. This episode is a clear, rational, numbers-driven analysis of what has changed, who it hits hardest, and what smart investors should be doing right now. ----- TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Intro Hook 00:42 Changes to Capital Gains Tax Discount 03:26 Transitional Protections and Special Carve-Outs 05:34 Impact on Speculative Investing and Income Support 11:06 Reforms to Negative Gearing 17:52 Impact on Investment Strategies 25:23 Conclusion/Outro ----- SHOW NOTES LINKS https://ifdgroup.com.au/ [https://ifdgroup.com.au/]  https://doctorbi.com.au/ [https://doctorbi.com.au/]  https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi [https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bi] -----   LISTEN TO THE PODCAST   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN [https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN]  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 [https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608]  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast]  -----   FIND US HERE   Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ [https://ifdgroup.com.au/]  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors [https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors]  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors [https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors]  -----   DISCLAIMER   The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

We cover the four key types of cover every doctor needs — income protection, life insurance, TPD, and trauma — plus the traps hiding in default super and how small changes can save you thousands. If you're an intern, registrar, or early-career consultant, this episode will show you how to avoid costly insurance mistakes, structure your cover properly, and build a financial foundation that protects everything you're working for.
