Physical Commodities
Currencies
Balanced Portfolios, including actively managed ETNS.

Mike Brown, Managing Director and founder of etFSA.co.za, and father of ETFs in South Africa having started the first ETF at Satrix in 2000 unpacks how to choose between the different ETPs and how to use them optimally in:

Tax-Free Investment Accounts
Retirement Products, like RAs and Living Annuities
Professional Managed balanced multi-asset ETF portfolios for investment in South Africa or in global markets.
Self-managing your own ETF portfolios,

ETFs/ETNs are ideal, even when starting off your investment journey, by investing with debit orders from R150 per month. But are equally suitable to multi-million investments, where diversification, risk management and strategic asset allocation are made easier, more cost effective and transparent by using ETPs in portfolio construction.
