JUNE 2012 - etfSA.co.za Monthly South African ETF, ETN and Index Tracking Product Performance Survey
NewGold ETF, which tracks the price of gold bullion in rands and Satrix INDI 25 ETF, which tracks the FTSE/JSE Industrial 25 index of leading industrial, manufacturing and retail shares, continue to dominate the longer-term performance surveys.
Property indices are now, however, starting to show up strongly in the performance stakes. The Prudential Property Enhanced Index Fund, a Unit Trust that looks to outperform the property index, is in the top three funds over 5 years and 3 years. Proptrax SAPY ETF, which passively tracks the FTSE/JSE SAPY Listed Property index, has steadily outperformed the Prudential Enhanced index tracker over the 5 year, 3 year and 1 year periods. For the first six months of 2012, Proptrax SAPY has also been the top performing index tracking fund.
The listed property sector of the JSE has benefited from consolidation of certain companies in the sector, new listings in the sector and foreign interest in South African listed property. For investors looking to gain access to this sector of the equity market, which also offers benefits in terms of diversification and high distribution yields, property tracker funds are in ideal vehicle to invest in property shares.
