What is an ETF? Exchange Traded Funds or ETFs are collective investment schemes that pool investor funds in a very cost-effective instrument that gives investors access to a large basket of shares. Instead of purchasing one share on the market, you can get exposure to the 40 best performing companies listed on the JSE or the top companies listed in the financial and resource sectors. Exchange traded funds are similar to Unit Trusts because you are investing in a group or basket of shares rather than investing in a single share. Like Unit Trusts, exchange traded funds are open ended which means that they have no fixed amount of shares. In contrast to Unit Trusts, an ETF is a passively managed investment. This means the shares which make up the exchange traded fund basket are not selected on merit by a Fund Manager but are shares that represent a particular index. The ETF is then able to track the performance of that index. Even though an ETF is passively managed, shares are actively traded as each company moves up or down a particular index. ETFs are listed on a securities exchange and offer the same benefits as share trading. This means your asset value and investments holdings will always be valued at prevailing market prices and investments can be redeemed at any time. In addition, ETFs are eligible for automatic dividend reinvestment. Investing in gold or platinum has become very popular, but Investing in gold or platinum requires special attention to the logistics of the purchase. Gold ETF and platinum ETF funds provide a method for investing in gold and platinum without the logistical issues of insurance, storage, moving, and reselling, along with others. Gold ETF and platinum ETF funds are ideal way to get commodity market exposure with limited risks. Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) 5

ETFs can serve as a cornerstone of your long-term strategy for creating wealth. It gives you the opportunity to make smaller monthly investments while still getting exposure to the financial markets. The long -term benefit of a passive investment as opposed to active fund manager involvement is your savings will increase in value rapidly. ETFs also help to spread your risk by virtually eliminating portfolio fallout from a single stock plunge, while you will benefit from the growth possibilities of many other stocks. ETFs are exempt from securities transfer tax because a basket of securities is transferred to the redeeming party and no cash is exchanged. However, ETFs are subject to capital gains tax when you sell your investment. An exchange traded fund investment fund meets all the criteria for sound, long-term financial planning. ETFs are low-cost, diversified and tax-efficient WHAT ARE THE COSTS? Note: You are able to either make a once-off purchase into an ETF Investment Plan or a monthly debit order.
