The dividend will be reinvest. No more payout as last time.

Funny that when it first launch way back, there are no taker for this type of fund. I can still remember buying it a few days after it is launch and no need to queue

i was wondering if the indian's quota for ASM is still available? Just got my bonus, think of dumping it into this ASM since got nothing better to do with it anyway, so if still available, i'll go tommorow morning...thinking of getting 6K unit, is it a wise move compare to leaving the money sitting in bank account?

Indian quota still available. The non bumi quota they refer here is the chinese part. It is a wise move to move it from your account to asm if you're not using the money frequently. ASM have higher interest rate.

heard today ASW2020 got open for ppl ar?

still a lot of unit for BUmi and Indian citizen to purchase,...if u are chinese..sorry that unit for chinese was totally sold out.
