About your article 9 Reasons Why I Don't Like RA's, your RA can realistically have about 75% equity and 20% property (the rest I'd but in bonds), and that would have beaten a 100% equity portfolio in SA over various time periods...

Yes some of the RA's allow you to assign your own asset allocation (within the constraints of Regulation 28). But all the cheap options I have checked (Sygnia, 10x, Easy Equities) choose the allocation for you (with far less allocated to Equity and Property than I would like)

Equity is near the limits in most (50% local, 22% international at 10X for example), but yes, they are nearly all (whether index or managed balanced funds) light on property. But my point is still stands, one can have a proper 95% high growth assets RA if one so wishes.

With Sygnia you can construct your own RA. Can even put ETFs in it.

gtx why would you open an RA now if:

The main reason why I am looking at working for them is, that I can go work in UK branch after a year or so. They actually employ mostly SA staff, even my interview was in Afrikaans. They also a Tier A visa sponsor in the UK.

:confused:

If you want to bounce then don't stick money in a SA RA...makes no sense.
