The Sunday Times has listed the top 100 companies on the JSE, based on their performance on the local exchange.<\/p>\n

According to the Sunday Times, its Top 100 Companies list recognises the best-performing JSE-listed companies, based on shareholder returns and performance over a five-year period.<\/p>\n

For a second successive year, Coronation Fund Managers was ranked as the top company on the JSE, having given investors an average annual compound return of over 78%.<\/p>\n

ICT firm, EOH Holdings, was ranked second – also for the second year in a row – with an average compound return of 63.%.<\/p>\n

Another tech company, Pinnacle Holdings, was the biggest faller from 2013’s top 10 list, dropping to 28th, from last year’s 7th position.<\/p>\n

Pinnacle has had a difficult year on the JSE, thanks mainly to controversy surrounding one of its directors, Takalani Tshivhase, who was arrested in March for allegedly bribing a SAPS official.<\/p>\n

Following Tshivhase’s arrest, over half of Pinnacle’s value was swiped off on the stock exchange – a loss the company has struggled to recoup even after the case against him was dismissed and the charges dropped.<\/p>\n

At the time of Tshivase’s arrest, the company’s shares were trading around R20.00 – today, they are trading closer to R11.90.<\/p>\n
