IMO, higher distribution is better..i.e. more units is given to the holder. No doubt, total amt profit/loss is the same, but once NAV is gaining, your profit is getting fatter & fatter..
Completely and totally incorrect.If you have more units, your NAV decreases accordingly. No doubt NAV will grow in future, but your DECREASED NAV will grow less accordingly, in future. So that overall, you are no better and no worse off.
To say "NAV is gaining" while ignoring that fact the NAV has shrunked has nothing to do with "IMO" opinions. It's just plain wrong.
If giving distributions will make investors better off, they will do it everyday. Why not? Because it makes investors better off, doesn't it? So why not did it everyday?
Why not? Because it makes no difference. Or put it another way, there's no free lunch.
Or do I need to @summon Pink to explain to you further?
PS: ah, someone else beat me in replying.
But on an added note, this "more units the better" has been proposed by people who write financial blogs, and disturbingly, by agents I dealt with.
