How do I set my distribution preferences on SatrixNOW?

Should your Satrix ETF or Unit Trust fund make a distribution payment, you can choose for this amount to be:

  • automatically re-invested or
  • paid into your SatrixNOW cash account

You can view and update your choice at a profile level under Account Preferences menu option (as per the image below).

Please login and make sure that you are happy with your selection.


You can also set a different distribution preference for each individual Satrix fund you are invested in.

You can do this by selecting the Dividend Payout Preference option for that specific fund by clicking on the cog icon for that fund on your account overview page (as per the image below).

 

Note on Tax Free Savings Accounts: Any distributions in your TFSA that are automatically re-invested do not count toward your annual limit of R36 000.

Collective investment schemes are generally medium- to long-term investments.

With Unit Trusts, the investor holds participatory units issued by the fund while in the case of an ETF, the participatory interest, while issued by the fund, comprises a listed security traded on the stock exchange.

A schedule of fees and charges, and maximum commissions are available on the Minimum Disclosure Document or upon request from the Manager. Collective investments are traded at ruling prices and can engage in borrowing and scrip lending. Should the respective portfolio engage in scrip lending, the utility percentage and related counterparties can be viewed on the ETF Minimum Disclosure Document. The Manager does not provide any guarantee either with respect to the capital or the return of a portfolio. The index, the applicable tracking error and the portfolio performance relative to the index can be viewed on the ETF Minimum Disclosure Document and or on the Satrix website.

Performance is based on NAV to NAV calculations of the portfolio. Individual performance may differ to that of the portfolio as a result of initial fees, actual investment date, dividend withholding tax and income reinvestment date. The reinvestment of income is calculated based on actual distributed amount and factors such as payment date and reinvestment date must be considered.
