EPF hold more than 40% of rhb shares, a single major shareholder for any bank in malaysia.

Tax expert predicts 2023 EPF dividend rate at below 6% yet higher than previous year’s 5.35%

MALAYSIANS can expect some solace or silver lining amid the drastic fall of the ringgit as the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) is likely to declare 2023 dividend payout between 5.5% and 5.8% in early March.

“In simple term, it is better than the previous year but EPF members should not have too high an expectation.”

Even as the unemployment rate has declined, Koong pointed out that EPF is still reeling from the “lost funds” effect – referring to the four times of special withdrawals during at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic – which have not been channelled back to the retirement fund.

“To declare the dividend payout of 6%, EPF will have to maintain current dividend payout as well as deliver a better performance in its investment portfolios for one to two years,”.

This guy even kelentong harder than Kong Mutt Lun. I predict 5.5% to 7%. Sure win.

Last month, the news were hyping dividend as high as 6.5%.
Then dropped to 6.3% followed by 6.0% now.
Suddenly everyone is expecting a max dividend of 6%…

When the dividend is out at slightly above 6.0% later, everyone will be happy and thanking kwsp…
Imagine if we are still expecting high dividend of 6.5% and actual dividend is 6.0-6.1%, everyone will be angry…

My tikam is 6.15%…

Late by 1hour ++ 😁

batman1172 already posted the news article around 9am 😆

Anyway...
Quite surprised NST going against the flow....
All giving glowing reports past few weeks... This one really opposite direction 🤔

Hmm...

20bil for Q4 sure cannot achieve...
I'm more towards 15bil +/- range

That 6.5% is some so called analyst target... Afar can know it's just BS... That's why initially I target 6%.... But looks like that also very slim chance....

Now I'm lowering my expectations towards minimal 5.40%
Because we never know... EPF could preserve some of the $$$ because of expected hard times for their investment portfolio moving forward 🙏

now is the classification time, how much dividend u get this year.

B40 - 0 to 40k
M40 - 41k to 131k
T20 - 131k >

Lol even this is waay off.

Less than 1% of active members has more than a million balance.

My estimate based on account balance end 22

B4 : 1-1199
M40: 1200-7499
T20: 7500 above

Based on 6% dividends

A T20 balance starts at about RM125k.

Well, I'm B40 and have much more than that.
