Taste for me - although I am guessing it will take a fair amount of time to start seeing results coming through - so a longer term play.

Thanks GCR, it's a presonal bone of contention of mine, as I have 35% of my investments in active (my early years investing), and can't move it without heavy capital gains tax :(

I had a similar problem but I have sold off the majority of my Mutual funds with the exception of Nedbank Entrepreneur, and more recently Coronation Top 20 ( I cancelled all my life cover and use the premiums by sinking them into the Coronation fund along with my RA premiums (I bought an LA)).
It may pay you to take the knock on the CGT on sale and invest in other instruments which more than likely offset your CGT in about 3 years - I found that UT capital appreciation is pretty pedestrian these days

I do keep weighing up the options, comparing the tax hit to potential growth, but I don't have an answer just yet. It's highly likely I'll spend 6 months and a day outside of SA in the next few years, so that would be the ideal time to do it.

In the meantime, I keep taking out as much as I can with the R30k exemption. This year it works out to about R80k, but using the 4% rule and the decreasing amount I can withdraw in the R30k exemption, it means I'm never able to get the money out! First world problems...

Saw the sens for the respective DBX's and the management fees seem very steep

They are for an ETF but probably still reasonable compared to taking your money out, exchanging it, getting an overseas broker, and then buying a some stock. But would be interesting if one of the big banks started an oversea ETF.

Yeah I wish there was a cheaper option too. DBX is far too expensive for my taste.
