So regarding the new NewFunds Volatility Managed ETFs (I might be a bit late to the party): NFEDEF - Defensive http://etfcib.absa.co.za/products/Exchange Traded Funds/equity/VolatilityManagedDefensiveEquityETF/Pages/default.aspx NFEMOD - Moderate Equity http://etfcib.absa.co.za/products/Exchange Traded Funds/equity/VolatilityManagedModerateEquityETF/Pages/default.aspx NFEHGE - High Growth Equity http://etfcib.absa.co.za/products/Exchange Traded Funds/equity/VolatilityManagedHighGrowthEquityETF/Pages/default.aspx Sounds "cool" but looking at the annualised returns over 5 years (NFEDEF: 5.1%, NFEMOD: 6.8%, NFEHGE: 6.2%) I have to ask myself why I wouldn't play it save with a 32 day account at 6.95% or any of the various other guaranteed return vehicles offering better returns ?

Hi All, Am new to this sight. I am Jhb based and was wondering if there are any Interactive Broker users out there who trade offshore, using the API? If so would like to touch base with a meet up and perhaps we could share Ideas. I am just using the Excel Interface (VBA and RTD). Had the account open for less than a month now so still getting my ducks in a row. My focus is ES futures options and Eurostox50 Index options. Busy building stuff in Excel (VBA) that interfaces with IB related to this. Cheers Brian

Just to confirm, will we be getting an equal amount of multichoice shares as we had Naspers shares?

I agree. The returns on these have been worse than a simple savings account. I can't imagine the appeal or why anyone might consider buying these. At least with their Newfunds Traci 3 month ETF you know what you're going to get, and at almost zero risk. These have worse returns but with risk. I don't get it...

Well, I got my 10 free Multichoice shares today (due to the unbundling of Multichoice from Naspers). Nice when shares just appear in your account out of the blue!

What I want to know is, what percentage do they charge for intl payments, if they do. I know Capitec is free and takes 0%. FNB sucks 2.75%
