Getting started with the stock market, particularly Satrix

[Mohamed]

Any advice for new time investors on Satrix?

Yes, firstly, don't overdo it with too many ETFs. Just pick a few core ones and stick with them. Otherwise you just end up with higher costs, duplication of stocks and possible over-exposure to certain stocks that is hard to control.

 

Secondly, pick a good mix of local, international and property shares to spread your risk.

 

If you want to stay with Satrix only, I'd recommend something like the following portfolio split:

 

Satrix 40 (STX40) : 40%

Satrix MSCI World (STXWDM) : 40%

Satrix Property (STXPRO) : 20%
