        Mind the gap: Why fees aren’t the only investment cost to consider when choosing between unit trusts and ETFs

  Sygnia Collective Investments   Q1 of 2024 | 1 year ago

The introduction of exchange traded funds (ETFs) to the JSE some 22 years ago quite literally opened up a world of investment options to South African investors.
Around 95 ETFs are currently listed on the JSE, with each ETF tracking anything between 40 and 2 000 stocks. This makes it possible for South Africans to invest in a massive range of domestic and offshore companies at the click of a button, which they can do from as little as R20 for one share in an ETF – compared to the minimum R500–R1 000 investment required for unit trusts.
