how long you invest on PDSF? and how's the return so far?

I was invested using EPF. For last distribution on May 2014 was 7%.

er.. my apologies for butting in.

U may not want to use "distribution" as a measure of returns.
distributions made reduces the NAV of the fund, thus, the value it adds to investors at the end of the day is zero.

A better picture would be:
1 - (value now / cost U sunk in);
where value now = units * NAV; cost U sunk in = your $ taken out from EPF

The above will give U the simple returns (not time measured returns like CAGR or pa compounded).

Just sharing an idea
butting out

sorry for butting in also.
fyi...both my PDSF and PIDF YTD returns for 2014 till June are less than 2%

Return is not the same as " distribution" per se......

A fund could be merely making 2% for that year..but distributes out 7% back to u.......

Meaning in fact the fund pays u back 5% of your capital.u park with them earlier ....... ..

Sometimes it sounds good for people who depend on some passive incomes for their living , like having a 10% distribution, but it is better for u to know the real meaning of the distribution, then to wait for a crisis to appear ( Malaysia culture ). then only willing to find out more....

Best Regards..

Thanks for all experts advice..I'm new to this field..so as I check my current statement, the simple return is 0.54%..is that mean that from the time I invest, and until now I only get 0.54% return?

Unker Looi.. U invest in UT everywhere

I used to try this simple cal...
(Nav of now X number of units held) minus total amount paid = "A"
"A" divided by the months invested into it = "B"
"B" x 12 = app returns per year.

Just to enquire about PM's PRS, can I sign up for it at a branch?

agent..pls pm me..

Hi, I'm new here. What is the best time to top i.e. before distribution or After Distribution?
TQ in advance

Same, same.
before and after also no different.
different is the number of units you will get.

Okay. TQ for reply.
