They are the cheapest Unit trusts, so hopefully they'll be really cheap in ETFs too. I need some competition for the expensive DBX trackers for my TFSAs.
Wow - she should really get into politics...QuoteSo once you have added all the costs of accessing ETFs you are paying more than you would for an actively managed unit trust.
She is right if you compare some of the more expensive ETF's accessed by a full trading account VS. Sygnia's skeleton funds. But using absa etf platform or EE platform compared to most "normal" unit trusts? I would be very surprised.
So once you have added all the costs of accessing ETFs you are paying more than you would for an actively managed unit trust. That is what the ETF providers are skirting around all the time. Since Sygnia always does things differently, we plan to launch ETFs later this year where we charge nil stockbroking and we guarantee a minimum bid/offer spread. Let's see if we can shake things up a bit. But frankly, even with best intentions, I don't think our ETFs will be as cheap as our unit trusts tracking the same market indices.
Thanks Patric, that helped me a lot! Everything I need to know was on that page.Why exit if it can reach 8000 :p
Hamster - IMHO 7000 still looks like a good exit to me.
How do you know whether an ETF pays dividends or not? I assume it depends on the underlying equities.
Where can I find a list of the dates when dividinds are paid for the JSE Top40?
