Shares / Re: FNB Share Saver

Interesting reading this again. Came across it because I see you can now invest in Ashburton's Global 1200 (ASHGEQ) via the Share Saver which makes it a nice place to potentially invest a lump sum.

A lot has happened since 2013 though:

1. We didn't have that many ETFs back then, STXIND was still the favoured ETF and you had to fill in a pile of paperwork to get anything done. FNB made it easier.
2. I actually went on to work on Standard Bank's Online Share Trading platform (I see it mentioned here)
3. EasyEquities became a thing
4. 26 new financial blogs started
5. I sold my paid off car  :wall:

 :D

Why does your nose "run" in English but in Afrikaans it "walks" (loop)?

Want ons is rustig boet... rustig. Wyntjie vir jou?

I believe the Ashburton and Sygnia ones are the cheapest. Ashburton is the one I'd go for if I wanted a top 40.

Still reckon the top 50 from CoreShares is the better one to go for.

Transfer it to a low cost provider like 10x.co.za? I mailed them before about transferring my Stanlib one to them. They'll do a cost analysis for you.

Good bye ABSA.. last funds scheduled to transfer out :)

where did you opt to go?

Well, we're thinking of buying a house and getting married so what is left will be in a 32 day account for now. As far as ETFs are concerned: TFSA is still at EE and also have some funds on CoreShares. Most likely I'll up that debit order in the future.

They are skelms.

I asked Santam to have a look at my policy and they reduced it by about 10% in March. Late April I get an email that in June my policy will be renewed and the policy goes up by close to 10% again  :-[

So the better question is - why is my car becoming more expensive to insure?
