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

hehe~this is just intra-branch competition but there is still inter-branch competition which is more stiff

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

Congrats...

They need $ for emergency purpose...

Agreed with your statement

ASNB will announce ASM dividend tomorrow

The whole truth and nothing but the truth? Ha.

Surprising. Thought we will only know on 1 April.

Anything to do with Kajang? Ha. If early announcement, then must be a BIG % then. Hope so.

Cheerio.

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

It is a good news if it is 6.7-7.0 cents~ those are my transactions since 7th February 2014 until yesterday, just to share and thanks for all those sifu replying my questions...Let's pray our dream comes true

i guess you will have to replace your passbook every 8 months liao...

Nothing to do with Kajang

M xpecting 7%

I don't think it's going to touch 7%.
The highest would be at 6.7-6.8%.

What time are they announcing it ?

After lunch
Could b > 7%

Not today la IMO.

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.

0.10% xtra is too little when compared to EPF which managed to pay 0.20% xtra despite lower xposure in equity

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

It's always been PNB's trademark to allocate a portion for future distributions. I guess that's why they can give pretty much consistent returns both in good and bad times....
