Who knows maybe 20% dividend, anything can happen in malaysia. even pig can fly

back to your question, all can i say that no new amanah saham for sale this year. don't ask why. it's just like that. currently position. If you really2 desperate, go meet PM Najib at his office and ask personally to him to open up amanah saham

ahem, whatever happens, adding of fund sizes so near to declaring of dividends is not a smart move. to those who are used to investments, they'll know what it means.

what is wrong with the size of the fund expanding? as the distributed dividend is automatically reinvest.

I hope AS1M will declared at least 7% dividend this year!

why AS1m haven't announced the dividend yet? I thought the dividend will be credited to our account on 1/10/2012. three working days remain for this month.

Yup, for the past two years, they announced it quite early...more than a week before entering October...wonder why this year not yet announce. Been checking everyday since last week.

money dont suddenly come fly from nowhere. dividend 20%? since when the gov so generous? did they strike toto or something?

something fishy with the gov. is it anything new?

If AS1M declares 7%, then ASB will be 10%.

personally tried to apply fixed ASM funds account several times, end up fully subscribed for Chinese holders.

Need to wait until unit-holders sell their units, registrations for Chinese holders closed until units available.

Only non-fixed ASB funds is available

Amanah Saham 1Malaysia income distribution of 6.60 sen per unit for the financial year ended 30 September 2012 as expected

Really?where did you know it? I couldn't find any related news so far.

What was the previous declaration?

This is call 1Malaysia? Thing like this also got quota.

Ridiculous name indeed

ASN declares income distribution for AS1M

KUALA LUMPUR: Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd, a unit of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), declared an income distribution of 6.60 sen per unit for Amanah Saham 1Malaysia (AS1M) for the financial year ending Sept 30, 2012. Chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said on Thursday the third income distribution was an increase of 0.10 sen per unit compared with 6.50 sen per unit announced last year.

He said the income distribution will involve a total payment of RM459.86mil, an increase of 49.1%, compared with the previous year's total payment of RM308.40mil. "A total of 336,411 unitholders, who currently held 8.02 billion units of AS1M, will benefit from the payout," he said when announcing the income distribution. Ahmad Sarji said that as at Sept 25, AS1M has recorded a gross income of RM577.4mil.

He said profit from share sales contributed RM158.1mil or 27.4% while the remaining RM101mil or 17.5% is derived from investments in short-term instruments and other income. "Dividend income from investee companies contributed RM318.3mil or 55.1% of the gross income," he said. He said all income distribution will be automatically credited into unitholders' accounts on Oct 1.

Calculation of the AS1M income distribution will be based on the average monthly minimum balance held throughout the financial year of the fund, he added. AS1M is a fixed price fund with a size of 10 billion units with 50% of the approved size is open for Bumiputera investors, 30% is allocated to Chinese, 15% for Indians and the rest for other Malaysians. - Bernama

Well, in my humble opinion, I think the ultimate good news is that there are still a lot of units available even after the dividend payout

If thats the case, then ASB should declare income (dividend + bonus) of at least 9.0% for 2012. Last year was 8.80%. Best was in 1994 which was 14.0%.
