Index-tracking investment in South Africa: What to consider in 2021 Subscribe Investors are heading into this year with 2020 whiplash and wondering what they can do to find returns in the current market. Satrix – South Africa’s 20-year-old index investment group – says that off the back of a good last quarter of 2020, investors would do well to keep a few key insights into the investment landscape in mind for 2021. Kingsley Williams, chief investment officer at Satrix, said that, after a whirlwind 2020 kept throwing surprise after surprise at the world, it is no wonder that markets were turbulent. “However, the news has not all been bad. While it took almost two years to recover from the 40% drawdowns experienced in 2009 with the global financial crisis, it took just eight months to bounce back from the sharp losses experienced in March of 2020.”
