The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) has expanded its ETF offering with the listing of three new actively managed exchange traded funds (AMETFs) from EasyETFs: Easy3, Easy5 and Easy7.
The new funds aim to deliver inflation-beating returns of CPI +3%, CPI +5% and CPI +7% respectively, catering to different risk profiles and investment horizons. The listing further deepens the JSE's growing ETF sector and broadens access to actively managed investment strategies for investors.
Easy3 is designed to deliver real returns of CPI + 3% over a three-year period, while maintaining a low-risk, capital-preservation focus. The fund emphasizes income-generation and sustainability, investing in a diverse mix of local and global asset classes including equities, bonds, property and cash with the aim of reducing volatility and preserving capital.
Easy5 targets a return of CPI+5% over a five-year period, with a medium-risk profile. The portfolio seeks to balance capital growth and income generation through diversified investments across local and offshore asset classes, providing investors with a middle ground solution between stability and growth.
long term growth focus
Easy7 targets high real returns of CPI+7% over a seven-year period, with a high risk profile focused on maximizing long-term capital growth. This strategy places greater emphasis on growth-oriented assets, especially equities, while maintaining diversification across asset classes.
All three funds are actively managed using a research-driven investment approach and are structured in line with South African superannuation-fund regulations, offering investors professionally managed, diversified portfolios in a transparent, listed format.
“The listing of AMETF's EasyETF Rise CPI-linked range reflects our continued focus on building accessible, diversified investment solutions designed for long-term wealth creation. By bringing our top-performing retirement portfolios to the JSE, we are opening up access to professionally managed market exposure to a broader group of South African investors.
“At easyEquities, we believe retirement investing should be easy to understand, easy to access and tailored to an investor's needs,” said Charles Savage, chief executive officer of easyEquities.
ETF market expansion
The listing comes at a time of continued growth in the South African capital markets. Following a strong year of diverse listings in 2025, the JSE is establishing itself as a leading destination for innovative financial products that provide flexible, global building blocks for long-term portfolios.
“The arrival of the EasyETF CPI+3, CPI+5 and CPI+7 AMETFs on our main board underlines the JSE’s commitment to fostering a diverse and accessible investment environment,” said Adele Hattingh, JSE Specialist Securities Manager.
“We are proud to provide a platform where local issuers can offer high-performing, research-driven solutions to a wide range of investors. These listings reflect the continued vitality of our ETF sector and its ability to evolve to meet increasingly sophisticated investment goals.”
Easy3, Easy5 and Easy7 can be bought and sold on the JSE with no minimum investment when accessed through platforms that support fractional trading, allowing investors of all sizes to easily enter and exit the fund. The structures are also tax-efficient, with all three funds eligible for inclusion in a tax-free savings account (TFSA), enabling South African retail investors to maximize after-tax returns through simple, low-cost investment vehicles.
As the JSE celebrates its 139th year of operation, it remains the largest exchange on the African continent and a gateway to global capital. EasyETF's CPI+3, CPI+5 and CPI+7 listings of AMETF demonstrate the exchange's ability to host modern and sophisticated instruments that meet the highest international standards of investor protection and transparency.
The listing brings the total number of ETFs on the JSE to 135, with a combined market capitalization of more than R267bn.
