Index yields 4.25%, will be reduced by the TER. Returns last year were good, but lower than market average, long term it hasn't done that well: http://us.spindices.com/indices/strategy/sp-global-dividend-aristocrats

Total returns %
2008: (53.77)
2009: 45.16
2010: 20.51
2011: (1.72)
2012: 13.64
2013: 18.26
2014: 4.55
2015: (8.26)
2016: 13.21
2017: 18.86

3 years (including 2008) of negative performance. Also have to factor in the exchange rate but potentially it could yield rather high results.

Yeah, I like the fact that it's quite well diversified, so likely safer than DIVTRX, it also has a higher yield. I also see the dividends must increase for 10 years to qualify, so likely solid companies. I'd consider it in my TFSA except that there's no way to recover foreign taxes paid in a TFSA :(

True. Saw the effect of that again when SYGWD paid out. R180 worth of dividends, R60 in deductions. 33%

Granted, small numbers, but if I was focused on dividends and that happened - ouch.

Over R2.3 billion changed hands in Naspers yesterday in what appears to be 1 deal.

So 11.87 is getting close to my 11.77 call. And this is due to the USD declining and not SA politics (today). Zuma's exit is not factored in as much so should he exit we would see sub 11.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Anyone else see Cyril on CNN last night? He sounds like he means business.

If he meant business, Zuma and Co would have been in jail.

CR has no authority to send Zuma or anyone to jail. He has achieved so much in 1 month however. He kick started a process that may take years to resolve.
