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.

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.

Thanks, I'll email ABSA and see what's up. The RMB top 40 is the cheapest top 40 fund in SA.

Cheers for that - was not aware of the name change.

Caught this on Bruce's show last night:

Thought it was great, I'm definitely considering them or the ABSA offering

just an update - if you have any friends that might be willing to try share investing.

EE has an advertising campaign running this week - when you register an account, you get a share of R100,000 which you can invest as you please.

Putting together a long term growth portfolio - thought I would put it on my ABSA account as I would be generally be spending R30K - R50K or so and the fees are pretty similar.

But it actually comes down to when I want to sell.

I don't want to sell a huge amount in any one share at a time - I might just want to sell a few thousand from each and that's where EE fees are going to win, hands down.

Anyway, that's why I will be using EE for that portfolio - for the selling, not the buying  :D

Mr_D, just keep the T+10 days settling in mind when selling. Sell is "instant", but it takes a few days to get the money back to your account.
