I have a spare R50K to put in investment. I don't know how long but it could be anything 1-4 yrs.
The challenge is; I feel that the JSE market is overvalued so going any equity route i.e. direct shares/satrix/unit trust is probably not a viable route right now. Fixed deposit is joke!
So what should I do with the R50K?

And how do you feel about the foreign markets?

What about a nice balanced fund unit trust. The returns won't be as good as pure equity, but generally your risk is spread over multiple asset classes.

One option:

Half of the money into a bond unit trust/ETF , quarter into SA large cap unit trust/ETF, quarter into rand denominated foreign unit trust/ETF.
