Africa's deepest capital market
The JSE clears more value than every other African exchange combined, with world-class market infrastructure operated alongside FTSE Russell for its index family. Mining and financials anchor the market, while Naspers gives the JSE unusual exposure to global technology. Trading runs 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM South African time with a closing auction, and equities settle T+3 through Strate, the central securities depository.
How to invest in JSE stocks
South African residents open an account with an FSCA-regulated broker; international investors can access the JSE through global brokers that carry South African equities or through dual-listed shares and ETFs. The rand's movements against the dollar materially affect returns for foreign holders, so currency risk is part of any JSE position.
