@Patrick have you had a look at the new-ish Ashburton Global 1200 ETF? I quite like this as a "buy only one ETF" product. Thoughts?

Hey GCR, sometimes the service I pull from allocates a 0 value. It usually fixes itself in 15 minutes as it has done again. I don't see Mr Price in your holdings though.
Hi Patrick - maybe that's one of life's curiosities - could have sworn that it was Mr Price and Discovery - but could have been wrong - which in my universe is a rare event :LHST:

Hey JohnnyH, I had a quick look. It's not bad, but it's TER is 0.45%. You can get more diversification from the Satrix World Feeder at just 0.31%, so I can't see any reason why anyone would buy the Ashburton fund.

Thanks Patrick

Some differences are, the ASH1200 includes some Emerging Markets which I like & pays quarterly divs (will be small yes, but I still like it), so I hope the additional 0.1% TER is worth it for the EM exposure.

ASHGEQ has emerging market exposure.

If you are staying in RSA then all you need is 60% ASHGEQ and 40% MAPPSG and you should be sorted.

Any reason why ASHGEQ is not on the ABSA TFSA ETF list?

I can see it on my ETF only account. What list are you referring to? They also have it as "ASHGLOEQT"

Yes, I am also able to see it in my Absa Stockbrokers ETF Only account, but not in my TFSA account. The list I am referring to is the "Available TFSA Instruments" list.

I misread that. Checked - can't see it on ABSA TFSA, can see it on EE TFSA though. Maybe a bug on ABSA's side?

Sent an email to ABSA. Let's see what the response is.

"Thank you for contacting Absa Stockbrokers and Portfolio Management.
 Please note that the TFS account only has an approved list of ETF’s that are tradable on the account.
 Ashgeq is not a part of the approved list."  :wtf:
You say it's on the EE TFSA list, Hamster?

It is not unthinkable that EasyEquities has a bug or listed it erroneously. They hardly have a great track record with these sort of things and have had to refund clients on more than one occasion.

My guess is that EE is a very manual system hidden behind a shiny (for those that like kiddy games) interface.

So on the face of it I'd side with ABSA on this one.
