Anyone know what a brokers trustee fee is? I have the following lines on my account and I don't know what they're for. It's not for an admin fee as that one is called ADMIN FEES. Could it be related to the interest perhaps, as the amount changes depending on how much interest I pay. Anyone?
2015-04-30 JOURNAL GROSS INTEREST 15/03/28-15/04/30 R1,690.54CR R5,054.01CR
2015-04-30 JOURNAL BROKER TRUSTEES FEE R256.05DR R4,797.96CR
2015-04-30 JOURNAL VAT @ 14,00% R35.85DR R4,762.11CR

I think all brokers are charging these fees - I am with Nedbank and there was an explanation some time back, I will see if I can find what they said this was a result of - what I do recall is that it is taken by the all consuming government (including the VAT)

Hi Ntshizat, how long do you want to put it away for? Are you putting any money into a tax free savings account yet? If you aren't that's a good option for the long term. Some details here: http://investorchallenge.co.za/lets-all-be-guilty-of-tax-avoidanc

Now while I'm not a licensed financial advisor, so I'm not allowed to tell you what to do, I can tell you what I do. I think unit trusts are too expensive, I wrote a blog about it actually. Instead I have an account with easy equities, and I use that to buy the satrix indi. It's done very very well over it's lifetime, and I expect it to keep doing better than the general South African market. Perhaps start a post in the shares forum and people will offer more advice.

NEWFSA was included at an anomalous price in the competition.
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

APN is in a downtrend so stay out. No reversal in sight yet.
