@P. Could you possibly correct my spelling of Peregrine in the subject/topic line please. I must have pressed the "e" and "r" together by mistake.

Thinking of moving my ETF portfolio from ETFSA to EasyEquities.. Any opinions?
I buy monthly via debit order and did the math, it's substantially cheaper to use EE, even with buying 4 shares monthly than the %pa cost of ETFSA..

Only concern is reinvestment of dividends. ETFSA is a debit order and forget, where as EE needs bit more management.
EE also doesn't have an adequate amount of ETF shares in "stock", e.g. divtrax can only buy R1600 at time...

EE also doesn't have an adequate amount of ETF shares in "stock", e.g. divtrax can only buy R1600 at time...

Due to the exact same reasons, I'm in the process of making a similar move from Satrix Direct (AOS Partners) to EE. Last debit order and subsequent purchase takes 40-days to 'clear' so my move should be concluded by 16 Sep. They charge R 170 per holding to transfer, but should be worth it in the long run, unless EE starts charging a p.a. fee too...

Regarding auto divi re-investment, if I remember correctly, this is something EE are looking into 'for the future', but for the time being, you'll have to manually buy more with divi returns. Not a big pain for me, actually prefer it that way flexibility wise.

The liquidity issues for some of the EE ETFs have been raised a couple of times on threads here - seems that a call to their call centre will sort that out - they might charge a fee (R50?) for this. I recently bought some on which the limit was about R3,5k per purchase - I just repeated the process a few times until I had the amount what I was looking for. I think it costs the same as any bulk purchase as there's no pricing tiers, but I might be wrong.

From another poster in another thread, it seems that getting EE to show the correct base cost for all your transferred holdings might be a bit of an issue, since there are multiple purchases on the ETFSA portfolio due to DD. I simply calculated the base cost  by taking total cost by number of shares held - that matched my Satrix total base cost and that is what I will provide EE to show as my base cost once my Satrix portfolio has transferred.

@NakedPeanut. Another +1 to go to EE. It'll save you a fortune in the long term. I don't see the non-auto reinvesting of divvies as a problem. I often want to buy something different in any case.
