🇿🇦 Johannesburg Stock Exchange

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) is pleased to announce that the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has approved amendments to the JSE listings requirements, which will reduce red tape and create an enabling environment for companies listed on the bourse.  

Sanlam, the largest non-banking financial services company in Africa, and Allianz, one of the world’s leading insurers and asset managers with a century of history in Africa, have agreed to combine their current and future operations across Africa to create the largest Pan-African non-banking financial services entity on the continent. This combination means that customers across Africa will benefit from the expertise and financial strength of two respected and well-known brands. 

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), has announced its intention to amend the JSE Listings Requirements to enable the listing of actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Actively managed ETFs are different from passive, index-tracking ETFs. The fund managers who run actively managed ETFs choose shares and make regular trades to generate returns for investors. 

Shares in aReit Prop Limited (aReit), a property group holding leasehold properties with a focus on the hospitality and medical sector, started trading today on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE)’s Main Board, allowing investors to gain exposure to the property ​market without the normal exposure to property related expenses, risks and debt.
