Anyone here invested on foreign ETF's?

How do you go about it? Who do you use?

Are the associated costs a big problem? Currency exchange costs etc.

How does it perform over the locals?

Most people use global fund of funds for this rather than EFTs afaik.

Linkage?

Specifically contemplating the more dividend heavy ETF's that I read about often in other territories. We don't have many options in that regard.
 
Quick Google says that Global Funds can be ETF's as well, so that doesn't help the confusion.

I think SauRoNZA means moving money overseas and investing in ETFs there.

I don't know, I think its only worth the admin if you can take a decent sum over, like R50 000 or more.

I see that Sygnia International Equity Fund has a 0.4% management fee including VAT.

Yup that's exactly what I mean.

Yeah obviously a debit order is going to be pure murder on charges unless you can load up a PayPal account or something which is probably unlikely.

I have some managed international investments but I was specifically looking at ETF's due to their low cost and "direct" nature.
