Buying a single share can be very risky. Buying a few shares reduces that risk. Buying all 40 of the top shares spreads your risk across the entire South African economy.
Satrix 40 endeavours to replicate the performance of the FTSE/JSE Top 40 index. This index constitutes the forty largest companies, by market capitalisation, listed on the JSE.
Satrix 40 accurately replicates the FTSE/JSE Top 40 index, by holding the exact weighting and number of shares that constitute this index. Dividends paid by the top forty companies, less expenses incurred by managing the portfolio, are paid out to Satrix 40 shareholders on a quarterly basis. In this way the holders of Satrix 40 securities replicate the total performance (capital plus dividend yield) of the top 40 companies listed on the JSE.

Low Cost
Satrix 40 does not charge substantial management fees or other advisory and ongoing costs, common to other managed investments. The income Satrix earns from scrip lending activities further reduces the cost to the investor.
There are two levels of costs that will be incurred by the investor. The first being portfolio expenses and the second being fees that you will incur depending on the investors preferred channel of investment.
Portfolio expenses
Portfolio expenses include fees incurred to run the Satrix 40 portfolio such as management fees paid to Satrix Managers, custodian fees, brokerage, auditor’s fees, bank charges and taxes.
All these fees are permissible deductions from the portfolio and are paid from the dividends that accrue to the portfolio (from the underlying shares in the portfolio) and the other income that accrues to the portfolio (interest and scrip lending income). The balance of the income remaining in the fund after deduction of the permissible fees and costs referred to above is distributed to the holders of the Satrix securities. This distribution is done on a quarterly basis.
Therefore the portfolio expenses are incurred by the investor when the distribution is paid out. For investors to be informed of this cost on a quarterly basis, the unit trust industry uses the concept of a total expense ratio (TER). TER is used to illustrate the costs of portfolios on a comparative basis. Its objective is to endeavour to satisfy the requirement of transparency and to establish an industry standard. The TER of Satrix 40 at 31 March 2013 (March to March) is 0.456% (incl. VAT).
In accordance with the industry standard, brokerage and scrip lending income are excluded from the TER. Satrix accordingly also calculates an Actual expense ratio (AER), which includes brokerage expenses and scrip lending income.

Broker fees, financial advisor fees (applicable if a financial advisor has been consulted) and Satrix Investment Plan fees are costs that will be incurred by the investor depending on the investors preferred channel of investment and does not include the portfolio expenses as set out above.
Broker fees and financial advisor fees could vary depending on the broker and/or financial advisor being consulted.
