etfSA.co.za Monthly South African ETF, ETN and Index Tracking Product Performance Survey
The latest Performance Survey, for the period ended 28th September 2012, shows that commodity based funds, such as NewGold, plus ETNs investing in silver, platinum and soft commodities, have dominated the performance total returns over the periods surveye
With commodities now coming into greater focus as an investment asset class, the easy to understand, low cost and transparent exposure to physical commodities provided by Exchange Traded Products is pertinent. JSE listed ETPs covering foreign commodity markets also fall under the “inward investments” regulations for exchange control purposes, enabling local retail investors to have unlimited exposure to such commodity ETPs without any impact on their foreign exchange allowances.
The full Performance Survey of all 58 ETFs/ETNs and 15 index tracking Unit Trusts is attached.

The full etfSA Performance Survey is attached. The etfSA Performance Survey measures the total return (Net Asset Value (NAV to NAV)) changes including reinvestment of dividends) for index tracking unit trusts and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) available to the retail public in South Africa. The performance tables (attached) measure the 1 month to 5 years total return for a lump sum investment compared with the benchmark index returns (including reinvestment of dividends). Note, as the FTSE/JSE calculates the index without taking into account any brokerage or other transaction costs, index tracking products will typically underperform the index because of their transaction and other running costs. .
