Offshore investing
The South African stock market represents less than 1% of the global economy which limits those invested exclusively in SA to just a fraction of the global equity market. A well-diversified portfolio should include offshore exposure that will give you access to various growth opportunities across geographies, economies and sectors. No matter where you are in the world, investing outside of your domestic market is always a good idea in terms of diversifying.
Unit trusts are a low cost and less administrative option to invest offshore when compared to investing in foreign currency via offshore platforms. With our diverse range of unit trusts, we have the appropriate fund for your specific offshore investing journey.
