Shares / Preservation Fund Choices?
« on: May 29, 2017, 03:57:42 pm »
Wife and I are moving to the USA on an internal transfer, so I need to decide on a local preservation fund.
I'm looking for alternatives, pitfalls and any words of wisdom you can give!

My Funds are currently in an Allan Gray Balanced Fund, which hasn't done too badly and has "relatively" low fees.. So keeping it in that fund doesn't seem like a bad idea.

But in doing some due diligence, I'm investigating other options:
  • I've got a Discovery Broker who's getting me a quote using my current balance. So it'll include their investment booster thing +15% of invested funds since i'm 29 + all the usual discovery T&C's and fees (which seem quite high, I'm scared they basically erase the funds boost in a few years).
  • Also looking at the Sygnia Skeleton Balanced 70
  • and 10x (I assume High Equity).

Shares / Deposit on property or ETF's?
« on: July 11, 2014, 02:42:47 pm »
Playing with the idea of buying a ~R600k property for rental purposes (either in Eco Park Centurion or Mooikloof Ridge Pretoria East). Deposit will be ~R100k. My original idea for this money was a deposit on my own place (still staying at home, 26). But I'm thinking of buying a place to rent out, until I do move into it ~2 years.

My second option i'm looking at is just putting this into FNB's ShareSaver which buys RMB Top40 and RMB MidCap ETF's. Mainly looking at this because of its low fees.

I currently have a decent amount invested in ETF's already: STX INDI, STX TOP40,STX  DIVI,STX FINI and Proptrax via ETFSA.
Basically double the deposit amount + some more divided equally between the 5.
I could also put the money in one or some of these, but I like the idea of FNB's ShareSaver as it'll be easier for me get the funds out than etfsa's countless forms..

I'm weighing up my options here, and welcome any insights or advise!  :TU:

Oh, and no outstanding loans or debt beside wasting money on PC and MTB parts  :whistle:
