RA and fees
« on: March 12, 2020, 01:16:53 pm »
Call me a late bloomer.....I have not considered how fees impacts your investments until recently, and the impact is huge!

I recently moved my preservation fund from Liberty(2.97%) to 10X (1%) and hope in the longer term this will be a good move.
I also have a Sanlam RA which is charging high fees , 2.7%, I want to move that as well.
I could go the 10X route but don't want to have all my eggs in one basket. Any ideas on where I should look to? On another thread there was mention of a Nedgroup RA at less than 1%.
Btw I prefer dealing directly and not have to go through a broker.

Thanks

Have a look at OUTvest. As far as I know they currently have the lowest fees for an RA for larger balances, say R750k upwards (circa 0.2%). Second best is Sygnia if you use one of their in-house funds (circa 0.63%).

Thanks for the leads.

Outvest seems to charge a flat R4 500 till your investment reaches R2 250 000, then its a flat 0.2%

Sygnia according to their website is 0.2% if you use their ETF's, otherwise its 0.4%.

Will research some more on these and revert

So I am keen to move my RA, which is not large to possibly Sygnia. I asked for a quote and it seems based in the funds I selected fees will be around 0.42% still way better than the 2.75% Sanlam is charging.

With the markets taking a blood bath at the moment, I feel hesitant to move. Although I am not cashing out but merely switching to possibly Sygnia. Should I wait for markets to stablise or would you say move now and at least save on the fees?

The bloodbath isn't the problem, it's the volatility. You don't want to move out of one and have the markets climb 5% before you can move into the other. It could work in your favor too if the markets dropped 10% in the day you're out of it!

Might be worth finding out how long the move would take from both providers, and if it's too long wait until things settle.

The process to move can take about 2 months.
I moved a preservation fund from Liberty to 10x recently and thats how long it took.

What may be a better option for me is to stop the debit order on the Sanlam RA and start a new RA of same value debit order.
Would just need to see what the implications with Sanlam would be. Just need to get away from the high fees!
