Sent a mail to [email protected] in connection wether they would give there clients the ability on their platform to invest in foreign shares and EFT, that trade
on other exchanges than the JSE.
I would like to find out if ABSA is considering offering to its clients on its absastockbrokers.co.za, the ability to buy foreign/overseas shares and EFT,
that get traded on other exchanges, than the JSE?
there reply,
Thank you for contacting Absa Stockbrokers.

Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath. A while ago (end of last year) I called them when they changed their fee structure and tried to say "nothing had changed" ja, right - anyway, at the time they said there would be lot's of changes come February - better research, CFD's ect - moving towards becoming a "proper" stockbroker.
So far they have managed to change the font.

After they changed their fee structure I submitted my request to move my funds to easy equities. They were quickly on the line to negotiate with me. I ended up paying no annual fee and 0.2% commission so I'll stick around for now. Easy equities has also had rumours of offering international shares, so if they can manage I may just start putting new money there.

Did look at switching at around the same time - but have 27 holdings in that and decided it would cost me too much to move.
I think I should tell people I am a share collector and stop saying I invest in shares. I cannot help it, they just so pretty... :LHST:
