  • I am looking for best ways to save for my child's tertiary education. I can only afford R500 a month debit orders. Which products can offer me better growth. My child is 3 years old. Are education plans from service providers like Old Mutual, Momentum, Liberty Life, Sanlam, etc good in terms of saving for this purpose?

  • The scenario is I know what share to buy but at present I don't have money for all of them. So I'm building capital as I go along. My dilemma is with the amount of money I have do I get a little now while the share attractive and low and bulk up as the capital becomes available.(my preferred choice) Or do I wait till I have the desired amount of capital and then go in and taking into account by that time the share might have appreciated. I am definitely investing for the long term.

  • I have a question regarding ETNs, in particular Oil (SBAOIL) that I can find no definitive answer on. If I purchase SBAOIL today for eg. R12.50 and hold it for 2 years in which time the oil price goes up from today's circa $50 per barrel to $100 per barrel and I then sell it, would the value of the ETN have doubled ? Are commodity ETNs a viable long-term investment in this regard ?

  • Can you perhaps tell me where one buy a Tax-free ETF? On etfsa website is a lot of ETF's but no mention of tax-free accounts. Satrix again mention tax-free accounts but the db x-trackers MSCI World Index ETF is not there. Phoning etfsa one are referred to ComputerShares whom only offer combinations of ETF's.

  • I share your enthusiasm for ETFs and have noted your liking for the BBET40 fund. I am however puzzled as to why this has performed relatively poorly in comparison to the ALSH, TOPI and SATRIX 40 particularly from the middle of 2012 until late 2014. Can you shed any light as to why this has been the case?
• Morne
  • I've been reading up on the TFSA accounts and investment possibilities. In the recent Finweek you also comment on the TFSA and your choice of ETF selection being DBXWLD, PROPTRAX10 and BBET40. After consideration I definitely also want to invest in those three but nowhere can I seem to find a provider where I can select those three choices.

  • Another friend of mine said best is to take all funds out the market and put into cash and quite a bit into commodities like gold. JSE is not doing well and I should be looking to hedge, problem is I'm new to this game and unsure what I should really push for in markets as volatile as this.

  • What could be the effect if; 1.The Chinese Yuan replaces the US $ as the quoted price for oil. 2.The US $ depreciates to half its current value. 3.US interest rates increase by 5 percentage points.

I have been looking at Illovo (code ILV) as a position to invest in for dividends. Right now the spot price is very close to the 12-month low. Technicals look positive, but I have difficulty with the fundamentals. Can you perhaps assist me with some advice?
