The word "Dividend" in the name of the Fund does not mean anything by itself. You still have to read up on the objectives of the fund, and what the fund actually does.

There is no difference between distribution and dividends as far as funds are concerned. In fact, funds use the word "distribution" rather than "dividends".

Funds "that give out dividends" is purely a marketing gimmick. Distributions are irrelevant. You need to look at the total gain in $ value of your investment, not how much distribution the fund has given out.

Public Mutual has THE best website around in terms of showing the actual gain of your investments in graphical form.

Public Mutual is also guilty of announcing "distributions" as if it means anything useful or relevant. Distributions are meaningless. Ignore them.

well...my problem now is they accept the money and i have no idea when they will refund my money...it's quite a big sum for me...
i'm quite pissed with public mutual...

they should have make sure they don't accept any new fund by default if the fund is closed.... how can they allow fund to be continued to be transferred into the bond fund when it's closed?

then now my money is stuck...i called 3 times...the 3rd time...the customer service told me might take up to 2 weeks to give me back my money? wtf... when want money...customer pay fast...when refund...it's always like that so slow...

tax on dividend only apply if we take it out right?
if we just reinvest, then not need to worry about tax.
when we need the money, just repurchase, then we don't need to pay tax a single cent.
hmm.gif this is quite surprising.
different from what I know.
