There's 2 kinda/shoulda statements in between the lines.

Does he mean on target for 2+3.5%? But then later he says they had been paying inflation+3.5% for the past few years? Assuming inflation has been around 3 for the past year, does he mean to expect 6.5%?

I reckon its somewhere in between from the way he tries to cryptically set both the high and low bars. Probably looking at 6% but this being an election year, they may tag on another 0.2 or 0.3%

A friend just informed me on the Sin Chew's front page good news on EPF %. They predicted around 6-7%. See Sin Chew paper.

Seriously don't think would hit 7%
Best I think around 6.8% 💪

I think will be below 6.5

Korang Malaysia nih, banyak bertuah... rezeki pun manyak.

Tahun baru bos / syarikat kasi bonus.

Kerajaan KWSP pun bagi bonus dividen.

My prediction is 6.75%.

Last year was 6.25% and it was a lousy year. This year KWSP has been harping on how much their investment made etc etc... so it should be 6.75% lah!

I heard radio just now.
The announcer said could easily reach min of 6.5%!

ummmmm

last year was 5.7% on a lousy year

5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5

what does it matter?

what can you do?

zilch, nothing, nether........

Can. Continue lesser

Lesser?

Kasi syiok sendiri only lor!

Last year my KWSP-MIS port ROI is double digit thanks to foreign exposure but long term CAGR is close to 9% p.a. [ five year old port ].

Kasi syiok sendiri my KWSP - MIS port is bettter than KWSP lor.

Say you use to contribute RM60k/year, cut it down to RM40k and take the RM20k, put it somewhere where
1) you know can get >6%
2) acceptable risk.

UTs?

UTs or stocks lo.

This year high side (maybe 6.8%)
Next year below 6% 😈

Reason they say.. Because portfolio performance is bad 😕 MYR weaker.. Forex losses...

I do not TRUST unit trusts.

Can invest in stocks?

OR they need to retain profits to buy out the Battersea Power development phase 2. None for us.

Yeah.. Retained profits...
But I think cannot be high percentage too..
Donno where I read. EPF must give out at least 95% of the profits to contributors... Something like that...

Sure of this?

I'm 50/50 on this..

Remembered reading something like that previously..

Anyone can confirmed it... Me newbie.. Don't know this stuff..
