Off topic / Insurance Company vs direct stock exchange a good way of investing?
« on: March 13, 2015, 01:29:33 pm »
Good day all,
Apologies... if this question was posted already on this forum.
I opened an investment account 2 years ago with one of the insurance companies in SA and the broker told me that they invest directly to the Stock Exchange. He also showed me the company (Top 40) he included in my portfolio. He also told me that in addition they observe the market and will move from one investment to another depending on how they are performing on the market.
I also had a chat with a bank consultant who then told me that it best to do with banks than insurance companies.
Question: is it the best way of investing through insurance companies? How do a novice investor like myself invest directly on Stock Market?
Regards,
Mokone
