After so long "trying", managed to get some ASM units (300+300)

Maybe they really need the money for something important like to pay house down-payment

No aunties & uncles there "trying"

Less "competition" & higher chance for you at the branch

1.7k agents/branch whole of Malaysia Just imagine all of them "trying" at the same time

Agreed with your statement

Normally PNB would announce the dividend rate earlier, not on 1st April. I'm expecting on 20/21 March but as bro wil-i-am said it's tomorrow 19 March, then we shall wait for the good news.

As my previous posting, I'm expecting around 6.7 - 7sen range

ASNB Declares 6.60 Sen Dividend For ASM Investors

Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), on Wednesday announced a 6.60 sen dividend for a unit of Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) for the financial year ending March 31, 2014.

The 6.60 sen income distribution is higher than the 6.50 sen normal dividend and 0.30 sen special dividend per unit paid last year, PNB Chairman Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid said.

He said the income distribution entails RM947.10 million in total payout, up from RM913.85 million last year.

The payment will benefit 530,000 unitholders, who currently hold 14.34 billion ASM units, he told a press conference.

He said that until March 17, 2014, the Fund has a gross income of RM1.61 billion. Profits from the sale of shares contributed RM544.94 million or 46.8 per cent of gross income.

Dividend income from investment in companies contributed 37.4 per cent, with the remaining 15.8 per cent coming from investments in short-term instruments.

The income distribution will be reinvested in additional units and be automatically credited into unitholders' accounts on April 1, to enable them to benefit on the return from the growth of the ASM fund units.

Maybe they c/fwd more income to next year distribution
as u said previously EPF pays 100% of their profit & don't c/fwd to next year

that's why people are queuing to buy those ASx funds if there's any "opening"

This week Friday is last chance. next week onwards suspended. 1st April then only can "try"

it's juz "plain" 6.6 sen divvy, no "special" income or bonus

u got quite "good" crystal ball to predict the dividend rate


I think Next week around 25/26

I agree with you. It's not such easy work to do, but we need to remember PNB got some "capital injection" from the gomen in the founding years

maybe it's helping a bit to reduce the "stress" of the fund managers / investment officers

makan Maggi mee only Really ah?

The main point it's still above 6sen/unit & consistent even in "bad" years

Updated: ASNB declares 6.60 sen dividend for ASM investors

PNB President and Chief Executive Officer, Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah Che Othman, said the income distribution could have been as high as 8.8 sen per unit, but the group decided to carry forward the remaining 2.2 sen per unit, to the next financial year.

don't worry lar, they won't songlap the 2.2sen they will add to 2015 dividend

that's the risk unit-holders need to face if withdraw. That's the bad thing of c/fwd the income to next financial year
