Monthly South African ETF, ETN and Index Tracking Product Performance Survey
The latest Performance survey indicates that, with now over 60 ETPs trading on the JSE, plus 15 Unit Trusts that have index tracking mandates, the selection of passive investment products available to the investment public is growing rapidly.
The etfSA.co.za/Profile Data Performance Survey provides performance data, from 1 month to 5 years, for each of these products. In addition, daily tracking of performance data can be obtained through the etfSA.co.za website, either through the creation of watchlists or through the daily price sheets published for each ETP product.
For the long-term investor, the consistency of performance of Satrix INDI 25 ETF, NewGold ETF and Property index tracking products, such as the Prudential Property Enhanced Index fund and Proptrax SAPY ETF is noteworthy and such products deliver, not only very competitive performance, relative to active managers, but often with significantly lower risk and costs.
In the short-term, up to 1 year, the highest performing funds tend to be rand hedge related, such as the Standard Bank Commodity Linker ETNs and the DBX Tracker ETFs. The full Performance Survey of all index tracker funds is attached.
