I've maxed out my credit card. Do those clowns know how expensive life is? Not many can invest R46k in one go.

So for a newbie who has finally gone down the rabbit hole and is ready to start a TFSA with ETF's, what are you all investing in? (Yes, would have been great to start years ago, but here I am....)

Which ETF's are you guys in?

I've narrowed it down to 50% 10X World and 50% S&P500 as the probably route I will go. Good/Bad?

100% Satrix S&P500 for me

There is lots of overlap there, might as well just go with 10X world.

If you look at the MDD doc for each ETF, you'll see the underlying investments, etc.

I'll be moving all mine to MSCI World for a little less US exposure compared to S&P500. I have Nasdaq100 and S&P500 in my regular portfolio though.

Just done my first EFT.

My FNB to their FNB.

How long does it normally take to clear?

Only option I've found to be instant is Capitec Pay.

Please bare with the noob questions...

Does the SATRIX S&P500 reinvest dividends paid by companies in the basket for holders of that ETF? Is this part of the compounding growth strategy?

Second EFT was almost instant.

So what happens to the dividends that those companies inside the S&P 500 shares pay out?

If you selected to have the dividends reinvested you will get more shares. Otherwise you will see some cash in your account
