Introduction
Even if this is your first investment into the share market, don't be scared - Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) have been designed to be simple, easy to understand, transparent and to give exposure to a diversified basket of shares listed on the JSE.

Discretionary Investments
You can make investments in ETPs from R1000 for lump sum (once-off investments), or you can do monthly (recurring) investments from R150 per month through debit orders utilising the etfSA Investor Plan transaction platform. Of course, these are just the minimum investment amounts accepted, you can invest considerably more than this if you wish. Any income received in dividends or interest in your ETF account will incur tax, as will any capital gains realised if you sell our investment and make a capital profit.

All you have to do is to fill in the New Business Application Form; select the ETFs or ETNs you want to invest in; and send the application form to us, together with clear copies of your ID document, proof of address and proof of your banking account details (not older than 3 months).

etfSA Investor Plan enables investors to transact and access information on all ETPs available on the JSE (currently over 75 products), by making information on all ETPs easily available through this website. You can download quarterly fact sheets; daily price and product information (product profiles); performance data; product descriptions; and other product information.

Tax Free Investment Accounts
The annual investment limit for a tax free account is R33 000 per person per tax year. The ETF Tax Free Accounts accommodate investments from R1000 for Tax Free portfolios and R300 per month in individual ETFs. These accounts allow for tax free reinvestment of all interest and dividends and no capital gains is payable on any profits made when selling you ETF investments.
