Title: Hello
Post by: DaavG on January 03, 2020, 03:53:40 pm
Hi All,

New to the forum and recently decided to become more active in my investments.

Currently have a squirrelled away a good start but mainly into unit trusts (AG both local and offshore) plus provident fund.

No TFSA yet stupidly but underway.

Busy trying to determine my plan i.e. increase provident fund contributions as below R350k threshold, cash in provident fund (Yup SARS hurts) as nett return is about 9.4% or leave provident fund as is and take my contributions elsewhere...

Also researching Partick's VWID option as this looks good.

Looking forward to this process.

Cheers

DG

Welcome DG  :)

Great to have you here, and well done on getting things sorted. Beware of the Allan Gray costs, they can be scary!

Cheers,
Patrick
