Not bad. I currently use capitec for short term fixed. 7.75% on 7 months. Minimum ivestment amount is a lot higher though.

But to respond to your question, I have no idea how safe AB is.

Jip. Planning on putting more than half of my all my money in there. R1m. Thats why I am a bit cautious 

Capitec offers 10.05%
Nedbank Offered 9.56%

All on 60 months.

I have some ETF's, and to be honest I dont think any ETF will provide 10% p/a for the next 5 years. Or am I wrong?

With that amount of money I'd rather phone Investec. FNB can give you 9.15% + you won't have to convince yourself every day for the next five years that your money is safe.

Thanks Guys, following up on all the recommendations

As you can see, from the post, I am still a newbie, when it comes to money and investing.

Any further advice will be appreciated.

On a Side, How safe is it, to mention amounts on a public Forum like this?

I will not touch them

I bought my STXIND in June 2013 and they have shown a capital appreciation on the initial investment of 45.4% to date, plus over and above that there has been a reasonable capital stream so ETF can give you reasonable returns and your funds are readily accessible under some binding conditions - notably tax regimes
I think funds with the Banks are pretty much guaranteed returnable as if any of the big 4 banks had a glitch then the others would rally around to assist as the damage of failure would be devastating on the banking (including SARB) fraternity.
Also investing for 60 months is not too long a period if your need is to live off this investment - but then you need monthly interest which gives you a slightly lower interest rate. People need to weigh up whether it isn't better to take interest monthly and if not needed then invest in another investment instrument to gain more interest or capital gains/or both, in preference to taking interest at the end of the 5 year period.

Interest rate movements at the moment are a pretty hot topic as some analysts say rates will increase whilst others say they will fall - so who you believe is most difficult
