Time to spend my EPF rather than ASMx.

This reply is probably to pacify the market from panic sell.

If 50% of the inactive members above 250k savings withdraw out the balance above 250k, wonder how much would that be, assuming they r above 60yo?

This year bonus div of 0.75% is for the 1st 30k, last year bonus div of 0.5% has no limit?

So epf could be doing better than ASB.

Why would withdrawal in 2021 affects 2020 profit?

Any idea this "Sumbangan I-Saraan" still available? Has it been given out for 2020 cos I cant check at EPF website due to maintenance? hope it will return b4 year end.

Max 5.5%.

Stated in that Edge's article.

R u saying EPF dividend payout is not based on earnings made in 2020 but on situation, what situation?

I think if epf pays >5%, many will not take out via i-sinar but will instead use other funds like fd.

Why would funds taken out this year affects last year performance?

Liquidating their holdings this year for iSinar will affect 2021 performance n dividend payout in 2022.
Dividend paid this year is on paper not cash. When 2020 Q4 result is known we will see how much of the profit is being paid out as dividend.

So u mean if coming dividend is 50billion epf has to liquidate 50 billion of investment?

U seriously think epf need to liquidate 50billion investment when they give out 50billion dividend?
Most dividend are reinvested by force since most cant be taken out except for allowable reasons like housing, education, isinar, >55yo. U dont cash out this dividend like in stockmarket, it only appear in your epf account. If dividend is cash then it would not generate any more income. Epf will never let this CASH uninvested.
Again why would liquidating investment this year affects last year performance?

One guy who expect ~3% should be happy.

Glad that it is not less than 5%, n not succumb to those views that it can't be more than ASB.
