Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are an investment vehicle that many pros in the industry love because they contain many shares in on product. To chat about some of the hottest ETFs, we invited Satrix’s Quantitative Portfolio Analyst, Siyabulela Nomoyi.We talk about the best performing ETFs for the month of August, the value of investing in offshore (international) ETFs, as well as Satrix’s own moves in the space over the last year. In particular for Heritage month, we spotlight the Satrix Capped All Share Index ETF, which is a super diversified investment containing large to smaller companies within the fund, which is pretty rare in SA. Until December 2022, this ETF will cost 0% TER, and Siya breaks down exactly what this ‘TER’ means.Did you know that Satrix accounts for 26 of the 90 ETFs listed on the JSE? If you want to compare all 90 ETFs against each other, make sure to check out the EasyETFs portal.Press play and share the love with us on social media by letting us know what you think of the episode by tweeting @EasyEquities @SATRIX_SA @S_Nomoyi or tagging us on the gram.To sign up to EasyEquities: http://bit.ly/2EtcE85DISCLAIMER: EasyEquities is a product of First World Trader (Pty) Ltd t/a EasyEquities which is an authorised Financial Services Provider.

Millennials and Gen Z’ers are looking to take global warming and socioeconomic challenges head on by making ESG an essential factor in the way businesses, markets, and economies are run.So, what is ESG?These three letters stand for (E)nvironmental, (S)ocial, (G)overnance and they represent the non-financial factors that investors and market watchers consider when evaluating a business’ ethical and social practices.To expand on this framework, and to breakdown why ESG is so important to the new age investor, is Colletta Simungu – an ESG consultant.Colletta shines a light on the bigger picture as it relates to ESG and conscious living, the role these play in the wider corporate ecosystem on a global scale, and how investors can identify these three factors when putting a company under the microscope.As sustainability and social change gain global momentum, we want to understand how ESG affects businesses and why corporations are marching to the beat of the next generation’s drums.Share the love with us on social media by letting us know what you think of the episode by tweeting @EasyEquities or tagging us on the gram.To sign up to EasyEquities: http://bit.ly/2EtcE85DISCLAIMER: EasyEquities is a product of First World Trader (Pty) Ltd t/a EasyEquities which is an authorised Financial Services Provider.
