What a shame I come across this interesting debate a little too late, would love to give my 2 cents but for those who are still unsure, just believe the rest here that distribution doesn't increase your wealth.

Heheh - specifically MUTUAL FUNDS' distribution, since NAV calculations are EXACT (ignoring movements of the funds' underlying assets),
UNLIKE stock market's valuation after a dividend is shot out of a stock (imperfect).

if i switch my fund to another fund which is going to declare gross distribution soon(eg: next month), will i be entitle distribution?

yes.. distribution calculated base on how many units u r holding. not when u bought it. even if u switch 1 day before the FYE, u still entitle..... if any.

why u want to switch to the fund? is it because the distribution?

I can sense another lecture of "what is dividend/distribution" coming

hmmm.. may I know where to search unit trust fund portfolio?

which counter are they investing? and what are they doing? etc etc

monthly fact sheet

but it only shows their MAJOR/BIGGEST holdings

for full list, have to refer to annual/interim report

ie. these are useless for a stock trader to follow their buying/selling of stocks hehe

Best bet is to get chummy with someone inside but... that's a whole can of other worms

yes i want switch because of distribution. i kinda beginner in this. so it is a wise thing to do?
lets say my fund A got RM10k with NAV 0.2500 , after distribution how much i get? assume the gross distribution is 2 cent..

read from page 119 until finisehd.

NOT THIS AGAIN

pls read the link given by kparam

see - told U so
sorry ar Mods, 1 liner only

some PM agents must be cursing us now

any ideas where to get them？

WEBSITE

i mean those details.. i searched them before...

but i think agent could be have more details on it.. and can explain further..

http://www.publicmutual.com.my/OurFunds/FundReports.aspx

sorry for the noob questions..

I didn't see any holding details on the report...

mind to enlighten me which session should I browse through ?

Fund Reports > Fund Review

See those PDF links?

I'm not a PM user/agent, took me less than 1 minit to see them

Again, u r not going to see the full list, only the major holdings. Only inside the annual report u can see the full list.

If client's portfolio is not performing, agent's commission will be lesser when the client sells the fund. Since dividend fund is not something profitable then why would the agents introducing these funds to clients?
