Wah everyone is really eagerly waiting for EPF dividend..
Not everyday we see this thread so active

You are very observant, bro,... Well,... I would love to be able to move my funds from the EPF out albeit slowly,... like what I've been doing with the PNB funds,.. but I can't do so yet because I don't qualify to withdraw yet !

i am qualified to withdraw everything sen in 3 months' time.

WHAT am i going to do with my millions from EPF?     

Please don't, you might bring down the entire EPF !

On the serious note, what are you going to do with the money ? Property purchase, stock market and unit trust ?

HONESTLY i don't know! 

i have properties, stocks but NO unit trust. i don't TRUST them.

At this age, i guess i will be investing in more dividend producing equities and maybe some bonds. 

Need more ideas. 

The thing is anything you venture into will have to produce roughly > 6% return. Are you going to follow this rule ?

i am trying allocate portions. Not going to withdraw everything unless i migrate.

My goal is look for yields of the following:

a.  min 6%
b.  equity risk 2%
c.  currency risk 1%
d. other risk 1%

Total 10%

So i try to look for anything above 10% if possible for riskier assets

Yeah I would continue keeping some in there unless I am leaving this country for good.    No hurry in withdrawing in 3 months .. just scout for better options before withdrawing anything.    I would be in a similar dilemma if the time comes for me to withdraw all.    Those not at that age, cant wait to withdraw but when you are really at that age, dunno what to do with it pulak.    At least for me .. haha.

Selling FGV only materialises the loss now.

But in the books, provisions for investment impairments have been made in prior years. 

Hence, the loss has been taken into accounts ended 2015.  So, it will not affect 2017 dividend.

Based on culmulative performances of Q1 to Q3 2016 EPF results, the estimated dividend rate is < 5.5%

However, because of the strong dollar, we could see massive revaluation reserves, unrealised forex gain in the year end accounting.

So, my guess is 5% - 6% next year.

Looking at the trend of ASB & tabung haji dividend rate..
Expect EPF  one to drop drastically too

Please do some analyses rather than hope, predict, pray or benchmark others.

Wild guess by me. 5% this year.

Even tabung Haji declared 4.xx%

What with the 1.25% Hibah Haji and 2.5% zakat thingy?
This one not all the depositors of TH will get?

Tabung Haji has made very poor investments in Oil and Gas.  I think it's a pretty big chunk of their portfolio.

Maybe not like for like.

So when will they announce the dividend? Its already February...

Usually end of January or early February....
