I invest using money from EPF. So,.. for the dividend declared, will PBB send a cheque to me, or give me additional units?

Generally, it depends on which option you choose. If you choose to reinvest, you'll see additional units in your fund. If you choose for payout, you'll get the cheque.

But for EPF scheme, I'm not so sure.

EPF scheme....auto reinvest!

I own some units in one of the funds listed above. Since the distribution was @31-5-2010 as of today (4-6-2010) the extra units (I chose the auto re-invest option) are still not credited into my accounts yet. Does PM take such a long time or is there something wrong?

i have a question regarding funds in PM.
Are these funds similar to "passively managed funds"? I know PM has one fund called Index fund, is this same as the index fund that is invested against indexes?

sorry I am still learning about unit trust funds.

From my experience, the auditor of PM needs at least one weekend to calculate the returns, so you will be able to know by next Monday.
