Johannesburg, 29 January 2026:  The Satrix Income AMETF aims to seek high levels of income and maximise yield by actively positioning the diversified portfolio’s income-yielding securities. 

The portfolio consists mainly of liquid assets, fixed interest securities, preference shares, and non-equity securities. This diversified approach ensures investors benefit from multiple income streams while maintaining prudent risk management. The portfolio may also invest in listed and unlisted financial instruments and participatory interests in collective investment schemes, providing flexibility to capture opportunities across various asset classes. The fund will be managed according to South African retirement fund regulations and may invest in foreign assets as permitted by law. 

“We are very proud to be launching our first Actively Managed ETF. Satrix aims to make investing accessible to all South Africans and we recognised the demand for this product to meet the needs of our clients,” said Yusuf Wadee, Head of Exchange Traded Products at Satrix. 


“This listing reflects the JSE’s focus on fostering innovation and expanding investor choice,” said Adèle Hattingh, Business Development and Exchange Traded Products Manager at the JSE. “AMETFs, like the Satrix Income AMETF, demonstrate the JSE’s dedication to innovative solutions. These products combine the flexibility of active management with the transparency, liquidity, and cost-effectiveness of exchange-traded instruments. In the current market uncertainty, such offerings are essential for investors seeking stable and diversified income.” 

South Africa’s ETF industry maintained its impressive momentum in 2025, with total market capitalisation rising by R60 billion, a substantial 29% increase on the previous year. This surge reflects the growing depth and maturity of the local ETF ecosystem, as more investors turn to these products for efficient access to diversified, transparent, and lower‑cost investment exposure. 

Today’s listing brings the total number of ETFs on the JSE to 128 with an overall market capitalisation in excess of R265 billion.
