    Shares, also known as equity, represents a proprietary interest that a person holds in a company and shareholders fully participate in the dividends, capital and surplus upon the winding-up of the company .

    A Covered call is a strategy whereby an investor writes (sells/ shorts) a call option over shares they already own to a buyer (in this case The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited). The call options are considered “covered” because the underlying shares fully collateralise (cover) the obligation created from writing the calls

    Warrants are available in both calls and puts, allowing investors to take advantage of Positive and Negative movements in an underlying share.

    Share Instalments are instruments that allow investors to gain exposure to some of the JSE Limited’s leading companies. The holder of the Share Instalment enjoys many of the benefits (capital growth and dividends) of directly owning some of the country’s leading stocks without having to pay the full purchase price on day one.

    CFD contracts provide a means for an investor to hedge against risk exposure or to speculate when an exchange rate change appears imminent

    Exchange traded notes (ETNs) are JSE listed instruments which track the performance of a single underlying, or index or basket of underlyings. ETNs, typically known as tracker products, therefore provide investors with a Rand-based product to gain exposure to the performance of the underlying in question.

    SSF contracts can be hard-working additions to almost any portfolio. They are used mainly by hedgers to reduce risk and by speculators to gain exposure to shares they do not own.

    SBG Securities Proprietary Limited (SBG Sec) ** has launched a Tax Free Investment Account (TFIA) giving you the opportunity to invest in selected JSE listed instruments tax-free!
