I've also been using my car for the most part the last three weeks. Starting to wonder if the bike's battery is still going to work after all this cold and not moving :D

JSE is plat

Luckily, none of us own an ALSI ETF :p

Funny thing about index investing, the Vanguard execs don't use them themselves :D (According to Heystek anyway)
Just as I decided to put some of them on my watchlist. Thanks for the warning. Maybe I won't now anymore.
What? Index unit trusts/ETFs?

Still the best route for the average guy. Wouldn't recommend against it here in RSA.

Total transaction fee? If yes then actually very good, local equities is at 0.64% if I am not mistaken. The one thing I would like to know is, how do they handle currency conversion..or do you need to deposit $$$? IF we can deposit ZAR & they handle everything for 0.735% it would be epic!

It would seem that way. I did a rough calculation from the values on the screen. Would wait until the real deal/live site is here before getting excited. Some of their links point to JSE, Tesla for example: JSE:TSLA. So there are a few kinks they need to iron out and forgetting to add some charge might be one of them.

I had to ask them just this week why they are charging STRATE on AMIB50 ETF which was an oversight by them and they're busy refunding those they erroneously charged.

Will be very interested to see how dividends are treated. But must say, looking interesting. Always wanted to own VISA - but lot's of really interesting companies there, others for me would me AMD and Nvidia - but looks like lot's of hours of research in front of me - excellent.

So would be interested to know - what you looking at. And what percentage of SA shares will you be selling to buy US shares? I am thinking 1/4 - 1/3

Think I'll wait and see how this pans out.

Transaction fees: 0.735%

World feeder will probably have the usual suspects - Apple. Alphabet, Microsoft

Looks like the emerging markets one might use this as the underlying fund: https://www.ishares.com/uk/individual/en/products/264659/ishares-msci-emerging-markets-imi-ucits-etf

Which means Tencent, Alibaba, Samsung etc.

Zuma, Gigaba, PP Busisiwe Mkhwebane and Zwane are competing on who can
destroy the SA markets the most.
SA market up 1,9% since January while EM's MSCI index up 17%.

You made me look. AMIB50 is up over 10% sine April launch

EDIT: assuming that the average person is not money savvy and have no pension fund forced on him over his 20 years of working.

Surely your pension fund is part of your net worth calculation.
I meant that if the average person doesn't have a pension "forced" on him he'll most likely not save that much at all.
