I lived in England for 10 years, trust me there is a lot of crime. In fact, if you live in a nice subburb here in SA and then move to London to "get away from the crime", you will actually experience an increase in crime.
Here are the real time stats from the uk police site. Small area in london, 633 reported crimes in September alone:

Shares / Advice needed for building a portfolio
« on: November 04, 2015, 09:49:41 am »
Hi,
I need some advice on building a portfolio in South Africa. It was easy whilst I lived in the UK, but here the options seem to be very limited.
I want to invest in the following stuff:
- Emerging markets index tracker
- International/Global small cap index tracker (Investec has a fund that does this that I owned in the UK, not sure it is available here)
- South African small cap index tracker (Momentum and Investec have these I think)
- Long duration government bonds index tracker
- Intermediate term government bonds index tracker
- Property index tracker/REIT (Satrix property tracker)
- Physical Gold (NewGold ETF)
Ideally I would like to be able to buy all of the above at the same broker/investment house. Is it possible?
