Is Satrix investment worth keeping?

A Fin24 user wants to know if it is worth keeping his Satrix investment. He writes:

I invested R1 000 five years ago and I want to know if it is worth keeping it there at Satrix 40.

Can I add R200 per month by debit order to increase the savings?

Daryl Ducasse of Mekurius Capital Solutions, responds:

I think you are doing the right thing by topping up on an investment that may already be performing.

You should just be careful about the costs - that is, make sure the average weighted cost does not exceed the net asset value too much.
