Satrix Expands its African Footprint into Botswana

Satrix will expand its offering into another African market, selecting the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) for the secondary listing of three global ETFs, currently listed on the JSE. The Botswana listing will take place on Thursday, 9 July 2026.

Satrix will introduce three global ETFs to the BSE: 

• Satrix MSCI World ETF
• Satrix MSCI Emerging Markets ETF
• Satrix S&P 500 ETF

The expansion of the Satrix offerings into Botswana, on the heels of the entry into Kenya, is a significant milestone for the Satrix business which is now present in four African countries.

As with Kenya, the listing in Botswana significantly contributes to the development of capital markets by providing local investors with a more diversified array of investment options.

Disclaimer

Satrix Managers (RF) (Pty) Ltd (Satrix) is an authorised Financial Service Provider (FSP no 15658) and a registered and approved Manager in Collective Investment Schemes in Securities. Collective investment schemes are generally medium- to long-term investments. With Unit Trusts and ETFs, the investor essentially owns a “proportionate share” (in proportion to the participatory interest held in the fund) of the underlying investments held by the fund. 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. A feeder fund is a portfolio that invests in a single portfolio of a collective investment scheme, which levies its own charges and which could result in a higher fee structure for the feeder fund. International investments or investments in foreign securities could be accompanied by additional risks such as potential constraints on liquidity and repatriation of funds, macroeconomic risk, political risk, foreign exchange risk, tax risk, settlement risk as well as potential limitations on the availability of market information. The manager has the right to close the portfolio to new investors in order to manager it more efficiently in accordance with its mandate. Visit www.satrix.co.za for more information.
