I like sygnia as a company too. The ceo certainly is smart, and I think she's positioned herself well for where investors will want to put their money in future. She's also right about an index tracking unit trust being cheaper for SOME people due to trading costs etc. The challenge could come in if we get a really cheap etf provider in sa such as vanguard. I think the chances of that are very slow, unfortunately, but that is good news for sygnia.

Yeah, EE should remove that option from the list, but I do see they list NewFunds S&P GIVI SA Fin as well. Very confusing. I wasn't even aware of the name change until I couldn't find RAFIND on google finance, then checked my holdings to see I now held GIVIND instead.

I have also found that some ETF listed on EE's TFSA are not available - I wanted to buy the ERAFI FINI - and found this the other day. Being bigger, this might not be an issue with Absa.

The eRafi funds we're all renamed. The new name for the eRafi Fini is the NewFunds S&P GIVI SA Fin.

BTW

Have just received results in the post from Naspers, which I only own through EE. This means, I guess, that my name is listed on the JSE/ Compushare/ whatever as the owner - not only with EE.

So it seems, besides the fractional ownership, it's exactly the same as having your account with anyone else - just cheaper.

Good to know. I plan to use them in future when I can't hurt the trade amount for minimum fees with ABSA stock brokers. Weirdly I'll be switching my tfsa to ABSA as they're cheaper by 0.05%!

Hi Patrick

did you end up going with Absa? Last time i saw feedback, is that Absa doesnt supply the full range of ETF's? or has that changed.

I opened the account, but as I've already used my R30k for the year I can't buy anything yet. I drew a list of the ETFs though, and here's what they had:
