ThinkMarkets Expands Product Offering with South African Shares & ETFs

Multi-asset online broker, ThinkMarkets​ announced that it has expanded its product offering with the launch of South African shares and ETFs. 

The new, advanced technology is designed to deliver an accessible entry to investing into shares of companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to local investors (JSE) and give clients the opportunity to invest in all exchange traded funds (ETFs) and notes (ETNs).

The launch is the company's most innovative product offering for the South African market yet. Through ThinkTrader, the company's widely-acclaimed user-friendly trading platform, ThinkMarkets aims to deliver customers access to buy and sell over 700 JSE-listed shares and ETFs. The competitive share trading and investing offering of the company is underpinned with a brokerage rate of just 0.25% with a minimum of R30.

"We are strongly committed to delivering a unique and valuable proposition to our clients in South Africa," said Nauman Anees, CEO of ThinkMarkets. "With the launch of our share trading offering, our customers will finally be able to invest in the stocks of local heavyweights like Naspers, Anglo-American, Gold Fields, and many others."

"We firmly believe in helping clients achieve wealth creation and have created an offering for clients to invest smarter in one of the best performing markets in the world," said Ridwaan Moola, Regional Director, South Africa for ThinkMarkets. "In addition, we provide clients with exceptional value and highly rated research enabling them to make informed decisions with their investments."

ThinkMarkets is regulated by the South African FSCA and is providing live customer support to its clients 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. This February, the multi-asset online brokerage has started offering FX trading services in Japan​ after obtaining an Financial Instruments Business Operator license from the local financial market regulator, Financial Services Agency (JFSA). Additionally, the online brokerage firm is now hiring Public Relations Manager​ to increase its brand awareness and visibility.
