Beware of "JSE Investment" scams

The JSE Limited/ Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) is aware of a several scams (on Telegram and WhatsApp) posing as authorised JSE investment schemes and/or using the names(s) of JSE Executives (including our CEO, Leila Fourie).

In these investment scams, potential investors are urged to deposit money into a bank account and promised quick and guaranteed returns on their investment. These types of groups are not authorised by the JSE and the investments referred to are not authorised or endorsed by the JSE or any members of the JSE Executive. The JSE does not recruit investors in this manner.

The only way to invest on the JSE is via an authorised JSE stockbroker. A list of stockbrokers can be found on www.jse.co.za and then click on 'find a stockbroker' and you will find a list of stockbrokers in your area who will help you to open an account and you can begin your investment journey with the JSE.

Should you suspect a false investment scam group, please report these to the JSE at [email protected].

The FTSE/JSE Global Investor Index is based on the principle that all dual-listed shares are fungible.

The approach makes no adjustment for the Strate register and weights all companies, including dual-listed companies, on their global free float.

This index consists of the top 50 companies from the FTSE/JSE All Share Index when ranked by investable market capitalisation.

Constituent weighting will be capped at 10% on a quarterly basis after the application of corporate actions. Buffers will be applied at each quarterly review to provide stability.
