I'd consider this instead of the SATRIX INDI:  http://etf.absacapital.com/Products/Exchange%20Traded%20Funds/Equity/eRAFI%20Industrial%2025/Pages/default.aspx

TER of about 0.12%.  SATRIX is less efficient.  It seems silly to pay big fees to a fund manager who is simply matching an index.

Assume your marginal rate is 40% and you are under 65:

Before REIT:

Ex 1
Investment 340k return 7%

Earnings:  23800
Tax: Nil

Ex 2
Investment 700k return 7%

earnings: R49000
Tax: R10080

After REIT:

Ex 1
Investment 340k return 7%

Earnings:  23800
Tax: 3570  Improvement: -3570

Ex 2
Investment 700k return 7%

earnings: R49000
Tax: R7350  Improvement: 2750

Conversion to REITs should make the companies more profitable too.

Equities will always beat the market over time...

Posting after 7pm again are we?

Since the goal is (or appears to be) realism I suggest you don't exclude penny shares.  Instead simply limit possible buys to:

• Total daily purchase of a particular stock limited to half (or so) of the previous daily volume.
• Price: average of previous day's price (maybe a weighted average if you've got the figures.)  Will help eliminate outliers

ABL has a rights issue on the go.  Holders of ABL should receive 0.85n x ABLN shares as of (about) 28/11/2013. 

Then next week (can't remember the exact date) you can change ABLN to ABL and subtract 0.85n x 8.00 from each person's cash.

The above based on someone holding and exercising their NPLs (rational behaviour).

n == ABL holdings at the rights issue date.

Read through the thread and Im still not sure of some questions.

Questions

Scenario:I buy one batch of shares ,lets say I invest in the INDI 25.Now,2 years later I buy my second batch of the INDI 25.Now,after the 3 year period from the first day I bought my first batch of shares,I want to sell some of them.Will all my shares be clumped together as non CGT tax shares,based on the date of the last purchased shares?

FIFO.   SARS generally accepts FIFO as the the way to work out the age of your shares.

How does this work?Is my whole portfolio clumped together or is each individual share different in the date of their purchase?

Each *batch* of a single type of share you buy is a "stock item" for want of a better term.  Stock that you sell before 3 years attracts income tax; stock sold after 3 yaers attracts CGT.

Also,which type of tax will I be charged if I invest in different shares at different times,is it based on the last bought shares?

If you undertstand the concept of FIFO and stock the answer to this question should be obvious.

Sharenet is R164.00 per month for the Download module.

mySharenet is about R60 pm.  You can download csv (it's actually tab separated but you get the idea).  It's possible to use something like curl if you need to.  PM me for a simple script.

Oh no, if potential buyer doesn't have funds available now, why would they have it over the next 6 months?  I say run and don't look back, too much potential hassle.
