Smart investing with ETFs

Smart investing doesn’t have to be complicated. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are passive, cheap and easy to understand and should be the cornerstone of any investment portfolio. With the recent introduction of tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) they’ve become even more important as an investment vehicle.

Gareth Stobie is head of CoreShares (previously Grindrod ETFs). He presents this JSE Power Hour on smart investing in Johannesburg.

In his presentation, he covers:

  • The key principles underpinning the logic of market cap weighted indexes
  • Costs
  • Investing vs. Speculating
  • Arithmetic of active management
  • Top 50 vs. Top 40?
  • Core and Satellite investing
  • A look at the recent S&P SPIVA report

Your trading account is actually an ‘investment fund’ in which you’ve invested. Much like the ETFs you've bought, or your RA or pension fund. The only difference is that you’re the fund manager responsible for the returns.
