Investment opportunities in South Africa
South Africa has a world class financial services industry, and this is also reflected in the investment options that you have in South Africa. The industry is regulated by the Financial Services Board (FSB) which oversees investment products and their marketing in South Africa.
Investment options range from secure, low-risk (but low return) bank accounts, through to a large range of unit trusts covering almost every sector of the economy (including money market, bonds, equities) where your money is managed by a professional investment manager, through to on-line trading accounts on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Although South Africa does have exchange control restrictions, investing offshore is also possible through the relatively unrestricted rand-swap exposure or investing directly offshore using the R2 million allowance.
There are also numerous other investment opportunities, such as property, outside of the financial services sector, which can be considered.
There is no shortage of investment opportunities in South Africa, and there are options available for every type of investor
