etfSA.co.za / Profile Media – Funds Data (31/8/2016) |
||||||
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 measure the 1 month to 10 years total return for a lump sum investment compared with the benchmark index returns (including reinvestment of dividends). All indices are shown in total return format. Note, as the FTSE/JSE calculates the index without taking into account any brokerage or other transaction costs, index tracking products will typically slightly underperform the index because of their transaction and other running costs.
Please Note: future investment performance will not necessarily replicate historic performance data. All data used in the Survey is sourced from Profile Media, who obtain daily data from all index tracker product issuers.
