How decent dividend can we expect from EPF 🤔

Personally, i think anything above 4.5% will be very good.
If around 4% i'm already satisfied.

well if 4%... then okay..
below then it's really bad...

anyway I hope they got ride on the glove wave... then at least can get some $$$ to cover O&G losses...

Unfortunately, they sold too soon on the gloves

When is the Epf dividend paid out ?

Next year (2021) February).

Thanks,

I usually take clue from asb dividend announcement on what epf dividend will be like.

Rm 12.16b are gross income.

After taking into consideration the write-down on listed equities, a prudent practice by the EPF in ensuring that its long-term investment portfolio remains healthy, net investment income came in at RM7.50 billion.

There is significant write down in Q1....however epf never declare what exact write off. Seem huge.

EPF hoping for better outcome

SEREMBAN: Employees Provident Fund members can still expect a “good” dividend payout if the fund continues to perform better in the second half of the year, said its chairman Tan Sri Ahmad Badri Mohd Zahir.

Although the EPF’s first quarter performance had been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the fund did better in the second quarter, he added.

Tiered dividen rate, greater dividend for amount lower than 600k

Why should there be tiered dividend rate? Are we all not supposed to be equal stakeholders?

Agree with you, should be the same rate for all accounts.

Save so many years and get a lower rate? Not fair.

That is a silly suggestion to begin with. Who do they think they are? Ketuanan?

Who will be affected most, the nons?

I saw in the survey, they are also asking about higher dividend rate for those already in the 55 to 60 years age bracket.

End of the survey, they asked for suggestions on how to improve the scheme
To this, I added - they can add a consultancy service to Malaysians on how they should use EPF services so that they can plan out their retirement plan and do it properly

I'm for higher dividend rate for those who are in late retirement age and still have money in their EPF.
