Satrix Shines at the 2026 SALTAs

Satrix walked away with 10 accolades at the 2026 South African Listed Tracker Awards (SALTA), hosted at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in Sandton on 24 March 2026. The wins span total investment returns, tracking efficiency, capital raising and the People’s Choice Awards, where South Africans vote for their favourite local and offshore exchange-traded products (ETPs).

Now in its ninth year, SALTA is an industry initiative led by independent service providers to South Africa’s ETF market, including etfSA.co.za, ProfileData, the JSE and LSEG. The awards don’t only reward strong long-term performance; they also recognise the behind-the-scenes “craft” of building index-tracking products that are efficient, liquid and dependable for investors.

That “craft” is measured in practical ways. Alongside performance categories spanning three to 10 years, the organisers assess three-year measures such as how closely products track their benchmarks (tracking error) and success in raising new capital through ETF listings. In practice, it shows up as tighter tracking, better liquidity, and less “performance leakage”, the small differences that can compound into meaningful outcomes over time.

Satrix’s SALTA 2026 Award Highlights Include:

• Total Investment Returns, Ten Years, SA Equity, Satrix RESI ETF
• Total Investment Returns, Five Years, SA Equity, Satrix RESI ETF
• Total Investment Returns, Five Years, Foreign Non-Equity, Satrix S&P Namibia Bond ETF
• Tracking Efficiency, Three Years, SA Non-Equity, Satrix TRACI 3-Month ETF
• Tracking Efficiency, Three Years, Foreign Equity, Satrix S&P 500 ETF
• Capital Raising, Three Years, SA Equity, Satrix Capped All Share ETF
• Capital Raising, Three Years, Foreign Equity, Satrix MSCI World ETF
• Capital Raising, Three Years, Issuing House - Satrix Managers
• People’s Choice, Local ETP, Satrix 40 ETF
• People’s Choice, Offshore ETP, Satrix MSCI World ETF

“These awards matter because they speak to the fundamentals of indexation: consistent, repeatable outcomes delivered at a low cost, and a relentless focus on tracking our benchmarks as closely as possible,” says Kingsley Williams, Chief Investment Officer at Satrix. “Whether a client is investing for retirement, building long-term wealth or diversifying globally, their success depends on having a wide range of compelling investment options to choose from.”

Investor Favourites, Locally And Globally

Satrix’s flagship Satrix Top 40 ETF, South Africa’s first locally listed ETF, remains a core building block for investors looking for simple exposure to the 40 largest companies on the JSE. On the offshore side, the Satrix MSCI World ETF continues to resonate with investors seeking diversified access to developed markets without the admin complexity of moving money offshore.

Yusuf Wadee, Head of Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) at Satrix, says the continued recognition highlights the role that ETFs play in modern portfolios. “Investors are increasingly using ETFs as the building blocks of long-term investing: transparent, rules-based and easy to understand,” he says. “At Satrix, we’re focused on making those building blocks accessible to more South Africans, through competitive products, strong marketing, and our platform SatrixNOW that removes traditional barriers to getting started. We are very honoured by these accolades.”

Satrix’s strong showing at SALTA 2026 adds to a long track record of recognition for performance and excellence in indexation, underscoring its purpose of democratising investing and helping more people to “own the market”.

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. ETFs are index tracking funds, registered as a Collective Investment and can be traded by any stockbroker on the stock exchange or via Investment Plans and online trading platforms. ETFs may incur additional costs due to being listed on the JSE. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance and the value of investments / units may go up or down. 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.
