Ok, I'm going to put the TER in front for quicker scanning, and it is as follows:
0.75% Bettabeta Be Green ETF (BGREEN)
0.60% Bettabeta Equally Weighted Top 40 ETF (BBET40)
The website also notes a 1% transaction fee per redemption on the BBET40. This one actually sounds like there are additional other fees as well (page 18 of
this .pdf file). An initial 0.5% administration fee and I don't know what all else. Nedbank, however, is to my mind, an expensive bank here, so I'm not keen to do their etf.
0.75% DB X-Trackers Col in Japan ETF (DBXJP)
0.75% DB X-Trackers Col in USA EF (DBXUS)
0.60% DB X-Trackers Col in WLD ETF (DBXWD)
0.75% DB X-Trackers DJ Euro Stoxx 50 ETF (DBXEU)
0.75% Db X-Trackers FTSE 100 ETF (DBXUK)
These are confusing. On
this page, I get the fees above, but if I click through the list on the right, the fees are higher by between 0.08% - 0.11% on each of them. I'm not sure why this is so.
Erafi Overall SA Index ETF (RAFISA)
Erafi SA Financial 15 Idx ETF (RAFFIN)
Erafi SA Industrial 25 Idx ETF (RAFIND)
Erafi SA Resource 20 Idx ETF (RAFRES)
This page doesn't look good. Is it being phased out? Considering the "new proposed names" are listed below, I'm not sure these are even valid anymore. I wasn't able to find any TERs for these.
0.38% Grindrod DivTrax ETF (DIVTRX)
0.40% Grindrod LowVol Trax ETF (LVLTRX)
0.56% Grindrod Property Index Tracker Closed Fund (PREFTX)
0.58% Grindrod Property Index Tracker SAPY ETF (PTXSPY)
0.56% Grindrod Property Index Tracker Top Ten ETF (PTXTEN)
0.33% Mapps Protect (MAPPSP)
0.36% Newfunds Equity Momentum ETF (NFEMOM)
0.24% Newfunds Govi ETF (NFGOVI)
0.28% Newfunds Ilbi ETF (NFILBI)
0.33% Newfunds Mapps Growth ETF (MAPPSG)
0.60% Newfunds NewSA Index ETF (NEWFSA)
0.10% NewFunds S&P GIVI SA Financial 15 Index (GIVFIN)
0.11% NewFunds S&P GIVI SA Industrial 25 Index (GIVIND)
0.13% NewFunds S&F GIVI SA Resource 15 Index (GIVRES)
0.10% NewFunds S&P GIVI SA Top 50 Index (GIVISA)
The datasheets listed under these GIVI ETFs are all still called eRAFI as previously mentioned higher up the list, and while there's a recent GIVI brochure on their respective pages, there's no fees listed in them, only stating that the fees are low because they're passively managed and (this makes me laugh) talking about transparency. Even the FAQ of the brochure doesn't say what the fees are, just that there's no performance fees. I'm putting in the eRAFI fees, but to be honest, I don't know if they're still applicable.
0.30% Newfunds Shariah To40 ETF (NFSH40)
0.33% Newfunds Swix 40 ETF (NFSWIX)
0.20% Newfunds TRACI 3 Month ETF (NFTRCI)
This last one follows the money market and sees an average return just above 5%.
0.45% RMB Inflation ETF (RMBINF)
The above is excluding(?) an annual management premium of 0.36%
0.67% RMB Mid Cap ETF (RMBMID)
The above is excluding(?) an annual management premium of 0.5%
0.16% RMB Top 40 ETF (RMBT40)
The above is excluding(?) an annual management premium of 0.1%
So, what is the annual management premium? Is it separate from the TER, or does it come out of the TER to the manager of the ETF?
0.45% Satrix 40 Trust (STX40)
0.45% Satrix Div Plus Portfolio (STXDIV)
0.45% Satrix FINI Index Tracker Fund (STXFIN)
0.45% Satrix INDI Index Tracker Fund (STXIND)
0.52% Satrix Rafi 40 Total (STXRAF)
0.45% Satrix Resi Portfolio (STXRES)
0.45% Satrix Swix Top 40 ETF (STXSWX)
They do list an annual administration fee as well, but that looks like it's applicable only if you're buying directly from them.
0.32% Stanlib SA Property ETF (STPROP)
0.31% Stanlib Swix40 ETF (STANSX)
0.23% Stanlib Top40 ETF (STAN40)
Does the performance of the
property ETF of this group look right to you? That seems really high for just a year.
I must say, looking up all of this stuff was pretty interesting, but I'm glad I don't have to do it again, lol. I still haven't discovered where to find out if they're replicating or swapped based, but it looks like they actually hold the stock just from the wording. That's not to say that I would know what wording they'd use if they didn't hold the stock.
ETA: It looks like the dividends of all of the above is reinvested.
