Exchange Traded Funds

Get your hands on a collection of shares that follow market themes, one time!

At a first glance an ETF might look a bit like its distant relative: a unit trust. But unlike its cousin, this sexy little portfolio of different shares, bonds, and other instruments, is single and ready to mingle – it can be traded on stock exchanges (like the JSE) as one instrument. The most common ETFs are designed to track the performance of a market benchmark or index by mirroring the makeup of that index in a portfolio.
