I have a UK pension lump sum due in the next few months which will be paid into my UK acc and my intentions would be to invest it in DBX Trackers or similar ETF's in Europe, US, etc but I would like to do this without using a broker and presume the best way is to buy from DBX directly? Would I be saving much on fees, etc? Don't want to bring the funds here prefer to keep the sterling in the UK.

Is this straightforward and easy to do or is it a hassle and best to use a broker?

Also, if you were in the same position where would you invest?

Hi guys, as per my previous post in Sept I've now been paid out the pension amount but have tried to open an online account with a few UK brokers but as soon as they detect I'm based in SA they won't allow an account to be opened is there an easier way to buy DBX WD OR DBXUS ETF's with a UK broker as I'd like to keep the funds over there?

I am sure the STXIND is still a good ETF but I wouldn't buy it until the SAB/AB deal is done and over with because I am pretty sure once that happens the STXIND will go through a bit of a correction. Just my humble newbie opinion.

Interesting you say that as I have a large holding in the INDI and you've got me thinking now should I sell before the SAB deal goes through and buy again if the price drops quite a bit through a correction? What is the timescale on the SAB deal?

Any other views on this?

I'm curious as to how that will affect the STXIND. SAB currently makes up 18.7% of the index, so it will have a significant impact.

Interesting point and hopefully it's a positive impact!

Thanks guys,

Yes, have UK acc and address so good to go and Money Supermarket is an interesting site and not only for shares. Will look into using a share service on there.

Also, the DBX UK site is really informative and performance wise the S&P 500 ETF over 5 yrs being a no brainer with 222% return! What would you be investing in on the UK site?

Hi guys, the shares are mainly local ones like Pan Af, CML, Satrix Indi, A Gray Global Equity Feeder Fund, Coronation Industrial Fund and all bought in Rands in a Rand acc offshore but I suppose as long as I'm living in SA then any Rand currency weakness wouldn't be too bad but if I were to go overseas then things start to get costly!!

I have a long term portfolio invested offshore but the thing that worries me is that all the shares I've  bought are in Rands and with the way the Rand is going would it make sense to change my portfolio into euros, dollars, sterling or any other currency?

The downside of this would obviously be the selling and then buying costs. Any thoughts?

Hi Orca, yes that was why I bought in Apr last year looking at the +30% gains but I'm tempted to sell and get into the Indi if it pulls back a bit - do you see that happening in the short term?

Did you ever invest further in the Indi as I remember you saying you would put everything into it?

When do you decide that a long term investment is not performing and time to get rid?

I bought A Gray Orbis Global Equity Feeder Fund in Apr 2014 at R38.33 but to date it's return has been abysmal and was at only R39.42 yesterday! I know this is a long term investment but would have expected a decent growth by now maybe in the region of 10%+ and also bought Coronation Industrial Fund at the same time at R138.95 and sitting at R167.13 yesterday so around +21% so far.

Hold STXIND too bought at R51.24 and doing well at around R64 to date so up 25% my thinking is to sell AG and invest more in the INDI? Am I being too hasty and should I wait to give AG more time to perform?

Shares / Oil price and Sasol
« on: January 08, 2015, 09:13:55 am »
Read an interesting piece on Sasol shares on my Money Morning newsletter today and don't know why I didn't think of it before with the oil price dropping like a stone!

Sasol was R637 in Sept 2014 but is now around the R400 mark a drop of about 37% in 4 mths with the potential to drop another 23% in the next 2 mths! If it opens below R390 the charts are saying it goes down to under R300 from R637 not so long ago!

What the opinion on this? Is it hogwash or is it a viable proposition and it would obviously pay to wait to see where the share goes before climbing in and will the oil price recover later in the year or will it be a very long recovery period?

Any views on it?

Are we seeing the price rise to over R102 due to buyers getting in to benefit from the expected divi?
