I think la asm, asd and asw 2020 would probably give same dividen around 6 percent based on last few years data

Anyway i think u can google out tht wahid omar said this year divided is between 5 to 7 percent. If economy turns sour then i think the best they can give is 5 percent if it turns out good then maybe u get 7 percent but 6 percent would be more of a realistic target. But all this i agak2 la.

Because they are not tabung haji they dont give out until reserve is worrying. ASB2 alao drop what his year compare to last year. Only not so much because when it gave dividend, KLCI was doing very well (1st 3 months)
Because kenanga growth fund give you back the full return. 100% return means 100%. ASB if earn 100% means give you only 7% only la. Rest they keep as reverse. Also they use reserves to pop up the NAV to RM1/unit.

Kenanga growth fund.

7 percent is hard for at least next few years...
For now I think 6% is the rate going forward...
Maybe just minor difference like 6.1 or 6.2 like that +/-

Yes. Asnb funds do have reserves..
That's why dividend consistent & NAV @ rm1 all the time...
Last year or so, I reversed calculated the NAV based on the minimal data available on Annual report booklet.. Seems like the "real" NAV is around rm1.01 only

Isn't it? It's a political fund for political purpose.

Don't know la political or not but if it is a fund tht gives out fair dividen lets not paint it in a negative light. So far pnb imo is a well managed fund and i hope wahid and team can keep it tht way. Lets hope they can keep greedy hands at bay.

if can go back to 10% i would be super happy liau!

i think quite impossible as curently pnb is like a big fish in a small pond. my view is that it can only grow if it goes into a bigger pond or more food goes in the current pond(huge investment from outside).

Yes. Now no more book. Cannot do anything. I prefer book also.

I must say this year really an important year the dividend payout really can actually see hows the whole operation going on

17 ASM. the first payout. reflect how they perform for the past one year and act as Benchmark for ASW AS1M.

17 ASW. The longest service fund. to see how stable it is. and also Benchmark for AS1M.

17 AS1M. The last rod. using reserved to payout. show the youngest can't really afford to fight against bad Econ.

however from the payout we know a few thing.

lowest will be at 6.0
reserved do actually act as cushion
with current ceo, still having not that clear investment objectives. but things getting better.
2018 we will see how it benefit from the improving market.
