QUOTE(nexona88 @ Sep 22 2014, 03:29 PM) Why keep when there no dividend for it. It's like giving "free money" to EPF/GomenĀ  Put in FD also can get some money  These 260,000 accounts can be considered inactive (account and/or person) This post has been edited by ronnie: Sep 22 2014, 04:01 PM

QUOTE(TheAccountant @ Sep 22 2014, 05:50 PM) The thing is that for EPF, if there is no crisis. Then all is well. What if there is a crisis. Now you want to take your money and convert to something else also cannot. it happen because they don't c/fwd some of profit to next year (for buffer if there's any crisis / investment make less money etc.) This post has been edited by nexona88: Sep 22 2014, 06:00 PM

QUOTE(cybpsych @ Sep 22 2014, 09:07 AM) 260,000 EPF accounts earn zero dividendsThe EPF has since 2008 stopped paying dividends to account holders once they turn 75http://www.thesundaily.my/news/1175991KUALA LUMPUR: Several million ringgit in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) accounts of some 260,000 contributors aged above 75, have been earning zero dividends. Whether it is known to them or not, the EPF has since 2008 stopped paying dividends to account holders once they turn 75. EPF corporate affairs unit head Nik Affendi Jaafar, who confirmed the existence of the policy, said despite this, some 260,000 members have retained their money in the fund. cant even get their facts straight QUOTE EPF's Response To The News Report Published in The Sun, 22/9/2014The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) refers to a news report published in The Sun today regarding EPF members not receiving any dividends after age 75. The EPF would like to clarify that all members who have savings with the fund, including those aged 75 and above, have always been receiving their annual due dividends. The policy as approved in 2008 has not been implemented other than to encourage members to be aware of the risk of their funds being transferred to unclaimed moneys if they are not utilized. In this respect, the EPF is no different from financial institutions such as banks, who have similar policies. The EPF is cognizant of the potential misinterpretation and is in the final stages to amend the EPF Act 1991 to ensure members receive a steady stream of income from their savings even after they retire.

PRS is more like a mutual fund / unit trust with tax relief & T&C on withdrawals sigh.. GOOGLE

EPF quarterly earnings & total
2013__5.6__9.2___10.1__10.13____35 billions 2014_______10.4__10.3__________21 billions
Pretty sure that Q1 14 was better than Q1 13.
Based on the numbers above, EPF 2014 % should be better than 2013's.
But, I expect around 5.2% for 2014 (major portion will be carried forward to 2015 as the economy is slowing down now).
Cheerio.

Anyone know how the dividends are calculated?
Say you contribute RM10k on 1 January 2014, RM10k on 1 June 2014 and another RM10k on 31 December 2014, am I right in thinking you'll get 100% dividend on the first RM10k and only 50% on the subsequent RM10k?
