With the financial year officially over, it's time to take stock of the Australian stock exchange, which saw a record number of Exchange Traded Funds added to its board last year.
So what explains this spike in ETFs on the ASX? And who is actually utilising them?
And while the value of Australian stocks did increase last financial year, the ASX lags far behind the gains of other global indexes.
What's behind the growth overseas? And what explains the gap?
Carrington Clarke and ABC Business Correspondent David Taylor break it all down on ABC Business Daily.

With the 50 per cent fuel excise cut now over, it's a good time to take stock of where the energy crisis stands - from the price of Brent crude, to the still-fragile movement of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
So how do things now compare with where they were before the US and Israel attacked Iran on 28 February? Has the disruption in Hormuz permanently reshaped other critical shipping routes around the world? And how should we think about energy security from here?
Carrington Clarke and Alan Kohler help you stay on top of the numbers behind the ongoing energy crisis on Fuelcast on ABC Business Daily.
Fuelcast is taking a pause for now - but we will keep tracking the economic fallout from the war between the US, Israel and Iran on ABC Business Daily, in the same feed where Fuelcast lives - hit like and follow so you never miss an episode.

The war between Iran, the US and Israel has forced the world to confront just how fragile energy supply still is. Even with a memorandum of understanding now in place, the Strait of Hormuz remains a live fault line - and the shock has again exposed how quickly fuel security can become an economic and political question.
Matt Halliday runs Ampol, one of Australia’s biggest fuel retailers and the owner of the Lytton refinery in Brisbane. He joins Alan Kohler to talk about what the conflict exposed about Australia’s fuel vulnerabilities, how Ampol managed through the disruption, and why refining, storage and supply have once again become strategic questions - not just commercial ones.
It is also a conversation about the transition already under way - electric vehicles, public charging, low-carbon fuels, and how a company built around petrol and diesel plans for a market that is slowly, unevenly, starting to shift.
And yes - Alan also asks the obvious question: does the chief executive of Ampol see an electric car in his own future?
Ampol chief executive Matt Halliday joins Alan Kohler to unpack it all on That's Business with Alan Kohler.

Fresh financial disclosure documents gave the world a window into just how much money United States president Donald Trump has made during his first year back in the White House. And the numbers might shock you.
Is it right for a leader to be making such serious cash while in office - particularly when some of those riches came from Trump's controversial meme coin, despite a lot of private investors coming up short in the same deal?
And with the president's investments paying off - where does this leave those in Australia and around the world who might be thinking of investing in crypto and other options, like gold?

The US struck Iran over the weekend following Iran’s drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz late last week. Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament’s national security commission, responded to US President Donald Trump on social media saying, “the Strait of Hormuz is governed by Iran, so: Respect the rules” and do “not mistake control for escalation.”
Iran is effectively controlling the Strait of Hormuz by targeting shipping insurance viability, pressuring vessels to seek approval from its newly established Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA).
Does this mark a global shift in terms of how passage through the Strait is governed? What will the next move be from the US?

4DMedical has become one of the most closely watched healthcare companies on the ASX this year, as investors and hospitals alike pay attention to an Australian technology company trying to change how lung disease is detected and treated.
Andreas Fouras is the mechanical engineer behind it. He took technology originally developed to study airflow in wind tunnels and adapted it to measure airflow and blood flow inside the human body. Two decades later, 4DMedical is selling into some of America’s biggest hospitals, showing how Australian medical imaging technology can find a much bigger market offshore.
Alan Kohler speaks to Fouras about how the technology works, why US hospitals are paying up for it, the long road from research idea to commercial product, and the complexities of getting homegrown health technology into Australian hospitals.
Then there is the question of cost - and the ethics around big profit margins in a medical setting. And what does Fouras make of the new capital gains tax rules for startups trying to build the next wave of Australian growth?
CEO of 4DMedical Andreas Fouras joins Alan Kohler to unpack it all on That's Business with Alan Kohler.

The fighting may have eased, but the picture in the Strait of Hormuz is still murky - with conflicting claims about whether oil is really moving through one of the world’s most critical shipping routes.
At the same time, the federal government has extended the fuel excise cut, but at a smaller discount. So what does that say about fuel security, petrol prices, and how worried Canberra still is?

Voice AI is one of the clearest fronts in the fight over what artificial intelligence will actually do to human work.
Not in theory, and not eventually - but right now, in one of the most routine, repetitive and heavily staffed parts of the economy: the call centre.
Will Bodewes is the Melbourne graduate behind Phonely.ai, a now San Francisco-based startup building voice agents for businesses that want phones answered instantly, cheaply, and at scale.
He joins Alan Kohler to talk about what that means for the millions of people who currently do that work, how much of this is really about productivity versus replacement, and why the pitch to business is as blunt as it sounds - lower costs, no wait times, and fewer missed opportunities.
But this interview does something extra too. Alan actually talks to the AI itself - testing what it sounds like, how natural it feels, where it stumbles, and what that reveals about both the promise and the limits of the technology.
They also get into the bigger questions: whether customers should always be told they are speaking to a machine, how close voice AI is to sounding fully human, the risks of scams and fraud, and whether tools like this are making life easier - or just quietly automating more people out of a job.
Will Bodewes, founder of Phonely.ai joins Alan Kohler to unpack it all on That's Business with Alan Kohler.
