Reitway Global debuts Income-Focused ETF on the JSE

Reitway Global, a prominent investment management firm specializing in global listed property, has launched the Reitway Global Property Income Prescient ETF on the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE).  

This new addition to the JSE’s lineup of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is designed specifically for income-focused investors, offering a diversified global property portfolio while mitigating capital loss. The ETF is poised to provide investors with an opportunity to participate in the growth of international real estate markets.

Key Highlights

1. Tailored for Income Investors
   The newly listed Reitway Global Property Income Prescient ETF, trading under the alpha code RWINC, is structured to balance income generation with market resilience. Unlike Reitway’s other ETFs that prioritize total returns, this product is tailored to deliver immediate income yield from global real estate investment trusts (REITs).

2. Global Exposure with a Resilient Structure
   The ETF tracks the Reitway Global Property Index, offering investors exposure to a broad range of global properties across regions including the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. The fund’s structure helps to protect against market volatility while focusing on sustainable income generation.

3. Strategic Collaboration and Expertise
   Co-developed with Amsterdam-based Global Property Research and Solactive of Frankfurt, the custom index that underpins the ETF ensures access to global expertise and a refined approach to real estate market opportunities. This collaboration highlights Reitway’s commitment to offering specialized investment products based on thorough market research.

4. Growth of ETF Market in South Africa
   The addition of the Reitway Global Property Income Prescient ETF brings the total number of ETFs listed on the JSE to 119, with a combined market capitalization of R230.7 billion. This further cements the JSE’s role in offering a diverse array of investment products, providing South African investors with greater access to global markets.

Greg Rawlins, CEO of Reitway Global, comments:
“By introducing this income-focused ETF, we are meeting the needs of investors who seek steady income generation alongside global diversification. Our approach balances passive investment strategies with active insights, ensuring that our clients benefit from a resilient and sustainable investment solution.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to offer a product that allows South African investors to engage with global real estate markets in a more meaningful way.”

The listing of the Reitway Global Property Income Prescient ETF marks a significant milestone for both Reitway Global and South African investors. By focusing on income generation and market stability, the ETF offers a unique opportunity for local investors to diversify their portfolios with global real estate assets.  

The partnership with leading global property research firms ensures that the ETF is backed by top-tier expertise, reinforcing Reitway’s commitment to providing high-quality investment solutions.  

With this launch, South African investors can now gain exposure to international property markets with the added benefit of a stable income stream, further solidifying the JSE’s position as a hub for innovative investment products.
