Local or offshore? How to choose an investment platform
Choosing correctly is important when investing outside SA due to the taxes, charges and fees involved

Investment platforms give you the ability to buy investments from different providers, switch between them easily, and to view all your investments in a single, online place.

Established local investment companies such as Investec, Sanlam, Allan Gray, Momentum and Old Mutual all offer offshore investment platforms.
