It's their quarterly distribution.
Considering withholding tax of 10% and assuming you got 1000 shares,

Taxable portion - withholding tax
0.86 x 0.9 =0.774 sen

Then you calculate the dividend after tax.
0.774 + 0.76 = 1.534 sen (per share)

So you will receive 1534 sen per 1000 shares = RM 15.34.

REITs is for fixed cash income, is not usually for trading purposes. But, free to do so....
Now its time to collect some Amfirst and Atrium looo.....

hi all, wanna ask i have sunreit which announced dividend distribution on 2nd September. have they bank in to us and where to?

i have checked my cimb and trust fund of my trading account but i see none of the amount being bank in to me.

anyone got their arreit dividen yet?

yah same case here....still no dividend today as well.

i'm serious, come to sunway and ask the students here..but let's forget about it, it's just different in the investment style..

On the tax issue, if 10% is already accounted for, then personal tax is exempted right?..maybe i know what is the figure?..i don't understand how the gov will know exactly what is the amount you're earning from your property (they probably can check how you pay up your loan)..what if those rich people pay up in one lump sump?..

anyway, i read the news in thestar http://www.starproperty.my/PropertyScene/P...Scene/15494/0/0
so the singapore and hong kong REIT do not need to pay withholding tax, but people still have to pay personal income tax correct?..

and of course, my previous questions, when the value of the property increase, you don't really earn the capital gain until they sell the property correct?  in what case you would be able to enjoy the capital gain? put it another way, in what situation do they will sell the property?

ARREIT announced dividend...but I hated when the result is same as expectation. However, the share price is going up recently....how???

Sifuuuuuuus.....can we hold for long term? The silverbird factory really gonna push up the income distribution?

A surprise that Stareit gives 4 cents, I only expect 2.x ~ 3 cents only as the new acquisition only completed around 3rd to 4th Q period.

What is the meaning of the statement below ? 

Hi Cherroy,

Acknowledged yr info. I have decided to try on REITS because they have averagely 5% to 9% yield annually, which are relatively better comparing to FD and it is not as simple as i thought. i expect ignorantly that it to be straight forward as the annual yield are shown in http://mreit.reitdata.com/. Since i have a full time job and hardly have time to domonitoring/online trading, i have decided to "invest" for cashflow/annual dividend yield, im thinking it should be ok to enter at a higher price(since i already bought) and of cause it's better if i can get in with a cheaper price which bring better yield. will monitor the price and top up when the price is cheap.

Anywhere, thanks for the info

Ya, but how do we calculate ar? Say if I have 1k share, how much would the divvy be?

I got some noob questions.

1. Assuming I want to purchase REIT at RM1.10 price now, if I go for 10,000 units it should cost me RM11,000 right?

how much is broker fee? I am using a remiser to do it for me. The last I check it's about 0.5% ?

So I need to pay them RM 11, 050 ?

How does the brokerage fee work for REIT?

2. I have registered a bank account for E-dividend. REIT will pay their dividend into the E-dividend account? Will they give me an acknowledge or any letter to tell me that dividend has been credited?

3. In the event the dividend is not being credited, how and where to check/complain?

4. How fast do you get your dividends from the date of announcement till the date it goes into the E-dividend account?

5. Is REIT liquid?

What's the method of Dividend Payout for

AHP
AXREIT
QCAPITA

Of course it should be in the first post...of the next REIT v4

Anybody received dividend from Amfirst?

I guess I still have to wait.... for the dividend to come into my Maybank also.

Anybody received AMFIRST Dividend Cheque (supposed paid on 31 May 2012) ?

Sell it to open market, just like ordinary stock traded out there.
There will be a counter code name something like AMfirst-OR once the renounceable right can be traded time, which generally last about 1-2 week.

You do not need to sell your existing Amfirst.

Advantage -
Company has more money to invest in new property in return more income, more diversify.
Reduce company gearing.

Disadvantage
Earning may be diluted due to more shares afterwards, but if earning can improve due to right issue (more newer properties more income), or reduce the interest on borrowing, the dilution may not noticeable.
While if newer properties generate strong income, one may not see the dilution at all, instead better earning.
