IPO 20 April: New ETF
The AMI Big50 ex-SA Index is a market capitalisation weighted index designed to serve as a benchmark for a broader representation, from a sector and country perspective, of the African equity markets, excluding South Africa. The AMI Big50 ex-SA Index is comprised of 50 stocks, drawn from a subset of the Pan-Africa Index, excluding South Africa. The subset of the Pan-African Index from which the constituents are drawn is compiled such that every eligible exchange has at least one constituent from each of the various sectors represented by listed stocks on such eligible exchange.

Another contender as a Rand hedge.

Yup, I saw that too, but its still an option to consider when the Rand is slipping to R19 to the greenback :twisted:

I just don't have that much confidence in the rest of Africa.

Pretty cool how they take the largest share per index per exchange and include it. Maybe it'll work but time will tell.

Guys.. I think i am missing something here.. I am still learning this whole Equities investing.. If it shows below your Profit.. do we try to sell some of that profit to make some money back? As it's just the value of the share increasing.. but my Shares number still stays the same..

For example i had over R600 Profit made with Capitec.. It's now -R12 loss.. I should have probably sold when the profit was high?

Same now with NU-WORLD.. It's in R450 Profit.. what should i do here?

Or do i just let these accounts run and not really touch them.. and when do we really touch them? As i understand EFT's is more for long term investing.. but what about Equities.

Depends what you are doing. Are you actively trading or investing for retirement?

If you are in it for the long haul, buy into quality ETFs and ignore the news and your account. Zuma's *** has no real effect on your money if you only need it come 2045.

*ETF

you could split your equities into 'long term' and 'short term' and sell the short term when you have made a pre-decided profit or believe the share won't increase much more and you have another share you want to buy

That is up to you. There are plenty of cyclical stocks and then there are those that are rather steady. I try to identify which is which. If one is having a bit of a bad time but it's a good solid company I buy. If I don't see any more room for growth I sell.

I don't know how much you put into Capitec. For one person R600 can be 1% but for another it's 10%. It all depends on your goal but in any case I wouldn't worry too much about a few percent over a few days. Capitec has had a rather good growth trajectory.

We generally don't mention amounts as it says nothing.
